Turley: Justice Jackson shows ‘judicial abandon’ in lone dissent on Trump layoff ruling

After Supreme Court Justice Jackson issued a solo dissent against President Trump’s federal layoff plan, Jonathan Turley criticized her decision as 'judicial abandon.'

"This is another shot across the bow to lower courts," Turley said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday. "They’ve got to knock this off. They've got to stop with these injunctions."

Jackson, evidently believes that the lower courts can unilaterally stifle a Presidents agenda. Jackson wrote below:

In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless. Lower court judges have their fingers on the pulse of what is happening on the ground and are indisputably best positioned to determine the relevant facts—including those that underlie fair assessments of the merits, harms, and equities. I see no basis to conclude that the District Court erred—let alone clearly so—in finding that the President is attempting to fundamentally restructure the Federal Government.

A quickie response, what is source of the authority for a District Court to cancel a President's executive action and what is the extent of their jurisdiction? She fails to cite or acknowledge these critical concerns.

There are approximately 677 federal judges in the federal District Courts. According to Jackson, anyone of these 600+ judges would have the ability to immediately shutdown a Presidential executive action because the "Lower court judges have their fingers on the pulse of what is happening on the ground and are indisputably best positioned to determine the relevant facts". That is judicial activism (tyranny). Even Sotomayor, and Kagan, both left wing activist justices did not support Jackson. In another Supreme Court case Justice Barret cautioned Jackson that the courts do not have unilateral power over the President.

A judge just certified a class action on the birthright E.O. and stayed it.

If he wins the appeal, it's over. If he loses, he'll request an emergency review from the Supreme Court. Explain how you think this might be different with the class action angle?

 

[moke123]

Class action is nationwide.

I wonder how that class action claim would hold up? Minors have minimal legal rights. Lawyers also should not be able to put "thoughts" into what a minor (the class) would believe. For all we know, minors may not consider themselves to be an injured party. So we have lawyers making unsubstantiated assertions on what a "class" wants, when the class is not even old enough to make a rationale decision. This is an absurdity.

Federal judge blocks Trump's birthright citizenship ban for all infants, testing lower court powers

U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante issued a preliminary injunction against Trump's birthright citizenship ban, ruling that deprivation of citizenship would create irreparable harm.

PS: The 14th Amendment is once again being misconstrued to further Democratic party policies. An inappropriate application of the Constitution that is beyond the scope/jurisdiction of a District Court.

Class action in nationwide.

Ok, so the democrats are giving the republicans a blueprint on how to stymie future democrats, the boomerang effect.

This has already happened. Trump suspended Executive Privilege for Biden's doctor. He is probably also going to suspend it for Obama should Obama be called to testify in the crossfire hurricane case. Obama was President at the time and part of the attack on Trump from the beginning. Obama won't be prosecuted but he should be called as a witness. Although colluding with others to perpetrate dirty tricks on a presidential candidate shouldn't be considered to be a presidential duty. Trump refused to prosecute Hillary for this so it is really unlikely he would consent to prosecuting the former President. But prosecuting the others for lying to Congress which is an easy crime to prove is good enough.

@moke123 When you agree that 600+ judges can override executive action on a whim and should use any method necessary to circumvent an order from the Supreme Court, you really disappoint me. Not that that is going to bother you. But I think your TDS is clouding your judgement.

 

[AccessBlaster]

I fail to see the value in subpoenaing Biden's doctor. It was obvious he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and doctor patient confidentiality. It was a colossal waste of time. Only do this type of thing when you know it will help your cause.

 

[Pat Hartman]

They didn't subpoena him. He came voluntarily. Now, they say they will subpoena him and so he won't be able to take the 5th. Of course the Republicans are just play acting. This is all a farce since nothing will happen to the perpetrators but it makes the feckless pieces of dog poo politicians feel like they are doing something and gives them sound bites. But, I for one, no longer believe they can/will actually act on any information they manage to obtain. It would be better for all of us if Congress would just stop the play acting and do their damn job - which is to create a budget. I think it's been decades since the House actually created an actual budget.

 

[AccessBlaster]

It's dumb, Comer does alot of grandstanding but little becomes of it. I'd rather not pretend if given a choice.

Personally I think the whole 'investigation' into Biden's mental state is a colossal waste of time and really silly stuff.
Sometimes politicans get a bit to self-aborbed in their little world to realize what people do or don't want them to do.
An investigation into being a bit senile? C'mon, that's ridiculous

 

[Pat Hartman]

An investigation into being a bit senile?

I guess you're OK with having a senile President and the collusion it took to hide it from half of the public. I do happen to agree that Congress is just faking it. Nothing will ever come of this investigation. It is simply a waste of time and money. Too bad they don't know that we're onto their scam.

Not silly, perhaps, but I agree with "a waste of time." In order to actually DO something (like revoke the Presidential pardons) the investigators would have to prove that at the specific time that the executive pardon was signed, that Papa Joe was not of sufficiently sound mind to legally be competent to approve the order. That would be hard to prove and the inquiry probably WOULD go nowhere constructive.

I'm not OK with it, but whether or not somebody was senile while somebody else was saying they weren't senile (opinion) is worth investigating, there's no crimes there

Sounds like you never listened to Joe speak during his term. His handlers didn't let him out much in public so I'm not surprised. The debate finally made it clear. One of the talking heads who covered up Biden's decline came out with a book recently talking about the cover-up so even the Dems know it was going on.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Was there a provable crime committed? Probably, but I doubt Republicans are able to uncover it. They'll call their witnesses, Comer will go on Fox, this will repeat several times. Fox is the goto for the DOJ also.

 

[Pat Hartman]

Was there a provable crime committed? Probably,

It is possible that someone who was part of the conspiracy will cave under pressure and spill the beans. But the Republicans are not very scary. They never prosecute anyone so you're right. This is going nowhere. It is a total waste of time.

 

[Isaac]

we all hated the fact that joe was so senile, but I'm pretty sure being senile and/or asserting your opinion that another person isn't senile isn't a crime .. Republicans need to focus on the bread and butter stuff people need and stop trying to please their 5% radicals with these endless investigations that almost never go anywhere. it's exhausting, almost as much as joe's condition was

 

[Pat Hartman]

but I'm pretty sure being senile and/or asserting your opinion that another person isn't senile isn't a crime

Being senile isn't a crime but hiding the fact that the sitting President is senile and not capable of making the decisions necessary to run the country should be. And people knowingly signing the senile President's name to laws has overthrown the elected government with a soft coup. Just because no one used guns, doesn't mean that a coup didn't actually take place. Some unelected person or persons were running the country for much of Biden's term and you seem to be OK with that. While I agree with your opinion that this investigation is going no where, it is going no where because the Republicans are feckless pieces of dog poo, not because the investigation shouldn't happen. It is because regardless of the outcome, the perps will walk. THAT's the crime.

It will be a "colossal waste of time" since Republicans are wimps. But consider that Biden's presidency exposed massive corruption:

• Democrats sanctimoniously claim no one is above the law; yet they have made a mockery of the law.
  • Used lawfare to get Trump.
  • Used the power-of-the-state to promote their political ideology.
  • Imported millions of illegal immigrants into this country instead of enforcing immigration law.
  • Using US federal District Judges to obstruct the Republican agenda.
  • Used (illegal) grant programs to fund NGOs that implemented a variety of programs that violated equal rights and promoted racism.
• Democrats (falsely) claim to believe in democracy, yet don't follow democratic principles.
  • Used the impeachment process against Trump as an attempt to achieve a soft coup.
  • Fixed elections since at least 2016 (if not earlier). Harris was installed by fiat as the vice-presidential candidate.
  • Avoided the use of the 25th Amendment to remove an incompetent President, yet tried to use it on Trump.
  • Biden's staff, apparently, did successfully achieve a palace coup.
