"Given all of that, I’m having a hard time getting worked up about President Trump refusing to flood the country with violent terrorists. We certainly have a growing constitutional crisis, but it’s not from a President disobeying an illegal order."
"Is President Trump creating a constitutional crisis? The Trump administration has deported 238 illegal aliens, who were members of the terrorist gang Tren de Aragua. District Judge James Boasberg has ordered the President to return them to the United States. The Dems are insisting that it will be a constitutional crisis if the President refuses to comply with the judge’s order. What complete hogwash. Their reasoning is completely backward.
"Our system of governance has 3 coequal branches of government to provide accountability as a check against government malfeasance. Were the President to comply with an illegal judicial order, it would undermine or system of checks and balances, creating an actual constitutional crisis. When a rogue judge issues an illegal order, our President’s duty is to disobey the judge.
"Members of our military are honor bound to obey orders from their leadership, but only when those orders are legal. Each soldier swears and oath to defend the Constitution – our pact of self-governance – which places them in service to the people. Hence, each soldier’s first duty is to the law as constitutionally enacted by the citizenry.
"Therefore, a soldier’s obedience is conditional. Orders must comply with the will of the people, as codified in the Constitution and duly enacted laws, to be considered valid orders.
"If ordered to violate a law or a Constitutional principle, soldiers don’t have a right to disobey. They have a duty to disobey. That’s a fine but important distinction.
"The same duty applies to all sworn federal officials:
- Representatives,
- Senators,
- Judges,
- Federal attorneys,
- Law enforcement agents, and even
- Presidents.
"We often think of the President as the supreme authority in America – not subservient, nor receiving orders from anyone else. But, that is simply not true in our system. Presidents receive orders all the time from the other branches of government. Congress passes laws, which the President is ordered to enforce. Courts issue decisions and injunctions, which the President is ordered to comply with." . . . Here Comes The Judge | Sammy Davis Jr |
