When you’ve lost Bill Barr, you really don’t have a case.
Even Bill Barr, who was Donald Trump’s attorney general from Feb. 2019 to Dec. 2020 but had a bitter falling-out with him, thinks that the activist far-left judges who are blocking Trump’s efforts to deport criminal migrants are going too far. This is significant because Barr is not only no friend of Trump; he is, indeed, a pillar of the old Republican establishment that hates everything about Orange Man Bad. And the way he has spoken about Trump would make you think that he was having cocktails with Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff every evening.
Trump, Barr said in June 2023, is like a “defiant 9-year-old kid who is always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table defying his parents to stop him from doing it. He’s a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s. But our country can’t be a therapy session for a troubled man like this.”
Yes, the guy who said that thinks that the judges are going too far.
Trump and Barr first fell out over Barr’s claim that the 2020 presidential election was entirely on the up-and-up. Then Barr backed Jack Smith’s bogus legal persecution of Trump over supposedly mishandling classified documents. Affecting a pompous, above-it-all, more-in-sadness-than-in-anger pose, Barr wrote: “For the sake of the country, our party, and a basic respect for the truth, it is time that Republicans come to grips with the hard truths about President Trump’s conduct and its implications.”
And just as he somehow missed all the evidence that something was very much amiss with the 2020 election, Barr also missed the unmistakable indications that the Biden regime had weaponized the justice system to discredit and destroy its principal opponent. Barr insisted that “Trump’s indictment is not the result of unfair government persecution. This is a situation entirely of his own making. The effort to present Trump as a victim in the Mar-a-Lago document affair is cynical political propaganda.”
Barr based his claim, however, upon his negative assessment of Trump’s character more than on the facts of the case: “This is not a circumstance where he’s the victim or this is government overreach. He provoked this whole problem himself. Yes, he’s been the victim of unfair witch hunts in the past, but that doesn’t obviate the fact that he’s also a fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct that leads to situations, calamitous situations, like this, which are very disruptive and hurt any political cause he’s associated with.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Sen. Hawley, Gov. DeSantis, and others are saying that the “inferior” court judges do not have the authority to rule on cases not actually brought before them, and which affect the whole nation.
The “inferior courts” are established by Congress, not by the Constitution. As such, they can be cancelled, or regulated by Congress.
A brief line on this morning’s news feed, said that ‘five judges in D.C., were born outside the U.S., have no experience, appointed by bo and biden, “….These are the so-called ‘judges’ interfering in Executive Branch affairs without authority.

Trump did a better job this time w/ his personnel selection that he didn’t the last 8 years, whether it was not firing the likes of Rod Rosenstein, Chris Wray right down to continuing to support Ronna Romney McDaniel even against Harmeet Dillon. It’s good that he yanked her as late as last year, but this time, he’s making far better personnel decisions

Infidel,
Agree, but it looks like Steve Witkoff was not a very good choice as United States Special Envoy to the Middle East.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
James
Witkoff should be restricted to Russia/Ukraine, and just drop the idea of negotiating w/ Hamas. Just let Israel know that they’re free to do whatever they need to in Gaza, Lebanon and even Judea/Samaria
James Lincoln says
Agree, Infidel.

OT on the topic of the ‘leak’ which some guy named ‘goldberg published in the atlantic. MJT told a reporter to go home.
“”OK, we don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting,” Greene said. “Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem? You should care about your own borders…Do you care about your own country? What about all the women that are raped by migrants?”
