The Morning Report — 7/17/25

Good morning kids, Let's start off with this . . .

Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties

"A Constitutional crisis?!" You don't say?!

The left chants “No kings!” in the streets—then cheer judges who rule like monarchs, imposing policy from the bench with all the subtlety of a royal decree . . . “Trump must go now!” they chanted, waving signs that likened the president to a dictator and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to his Gestapo.

Their complaint was alleged despotism. But if Democrats really opposed authoritarianism, they wouldn’t be celebrating its emergence in the courts.

When U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani brazenly overstepped her authority on July 7 to block Congress from stripping Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding through the budget reconciliation bill – a clear usurpation of the legislative branch’s power of the purse – the response from the Left wasn’t outrage but praise.

“Good,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote on X. “Democrats will never stop fighting this backdoor abortion ban from the Republicans.”

As an aside, I am pro abortion in this instance — that is by ramming an Alligator Alcatraz alligator up Schumer's rectal orifice and having it navigate all the way up his accursed GI tract to clamp down on his vocal cords, reverse direction and pull them out so they can never vibrate their despicable noises and disturb the peace of the known universe again, But I digress.

As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the popular platforms listed below, When a hack-in-black judge on any bench decides to usurp both the authority of the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch in one fell swoop, well there's your Constitutional Crisis right there.

And yet, God bless President Trump, all he can do, or at least is willing to do is to seek redress in the courts, the very institution that metaphorically shot, stabbed, gang-raped and set you on fire in the first place. Of course unless and until the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice are willing to stop this madness, and at the same time Congress will do what it must and impeach these hacks-in-black, defrock and disbar them so that they can never appear in a court of law ever again, unless in an orange jumpsuit and in shackles and leg irons.

Of course that there is a tall order given their collective at best personal dislike if not incandescent hatred for Donald Trump and his threat to their power and influence on the nation and society.

I do not know the technical or bureaucratic details of how funds move from the treasury to the various institutions of government, but if the President were to put his foot down and override Talwani and prevent a single penny from being transferred to Planned infanticide, I can just see Schumer, Crockett and the rest of the Democrat Party issuing overt calls for people to take Trump out, if not for the US military to do the job. Well, if Butler PA, the 2020 summer of mostly Peaceful race riots and the current wave of insurrection against ICE won't convince you, HOW ABOUT THIS:

Car Laden With Weapons Including a Rifle, Rapier, and Bow Discovered at Capitol.

On top of an unknown number of Iranians, Afghanis and other mostly peaceful jihadists roaming the countryside.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. The crisis is now way beyond merely the Constitution. We are on a knife edge.

Have a great day!
