Congress Must Act: Judicial Tyranny is a National Security Emergency

The recent Islamic terror attack in New York City by a visa carrying jihadist outlines crystal clearly, how critical it is for America to enhance its permeable vetting process, and eliminate the suicidal “Diversity Lottery Visa Program.”

Even if critical National Security-minded legislation such as the RAISE Act, put forth by Sens. Tom Cotton (AR) and David Perdue (GA), were to be passed, which it no doubt should be, the radical left will likely still find a way to subvert it.

It is one of the most settled aspects of constitutional law that a president has the authority to exclude, or deport any non-citizen, in accordance with statutory law.

Now, a single federal district judge can issue an injunction and reinstate 60,000 visas for foreign nationals with the stroke of a pen.

That’s exactly what happened when Judge James Robart of the Western District of Washington issued a nationwide injunction on President Trump’s Executive Order suspending travel from terror-ridden nations back in February.

Any refugee or visa holder from any country must thereby be allowed to enter the U.S., even if they are currently in a foreign country. Pure insanity.

This shocking act of civil disobedience is not only unprecedented, it’s profoundly dangerous, and thus, warrants impeachment by Congress.

Robart isn’t alone. When Judge Derrick Watson of Hawaii recently struck down President Trump’s third redacted Executive Order, he did so almost exclusively based on emotion.

He threw out all allegiance to the Constitution because he didn’t personally agree with the Order, and even stated that he felt President Trump did so because he had hostility towards Muslims.

"It lacks sufficient findings that the entry of more than 150 million nationals from six specified countries would be 'detrimental to the interests of the United States,'" said Watson.

Our federal courts are reserved for those who will do their best to objectively uphold the law, not juvenile social justice warriors who treat them like sociology seminars.

Federal judges actively choosing to disobey their oath is a matter of national emergency, particularly considering we’re at war.

Unelected judicial activists single handedly controlling our entire federal immigration system isn’t democracy, it’s tyranny.

The strategy for open borders leftists is simple: find legislation that violates their dangerous and delusional worldview, then go judge shopping for the biggest radical on the bench to rule in their favor.

This won’t be hard considering the unlimited funding of radical groups like the ACLU.

These games the left has been playing is not only destructive to our Constitution, it’s a clear and present danger to every American citizen. We need to wake up before it’s too late!

After Sayfullo Saipov, a radical Islamist from Uzbekistan, who came here as a  “Diversity Lottery” winner, mowed down eight people in New York City while shouting “Allahu Akhbar,” one has to wonder how long we can allow our borders to be controlled by tyrants on the bench.

Uzbekistan, a Muslim-majority country, wasn’t even on the list of countries included in President Trump’s Executive Order on enhanced vetting.

How many jihadists have and will continue to enter our nation from countries listed in the order, which contain even more radicals, and uncertain vetting than Uzbekistan?

How many more people have to die?

How much more bloodshed do we have to endure until we put an end to such a dangerous abuse of power?

We’re at war with an enemy that will stop at nothing to see our destruction, even if it means taking their own life in the process, and we’re sitting here with our arms shackled by unelected judicial supremacists.

Unless we take action to reform our courts, who we elect, and what legislation is passed, means nothing.

All the opposition party needs to do is find one radical on the bench who will rule in their favor, regardless of how ludicrous the reasoning.

Here’s what Congress can and should do immediately as a matter of national security.

  1. Impeach Rogue Judges - Make an example of radicals like Watson, Robart, or any others who engage in blatant civil disobedience, by bringing articles of impeachment against them.
  2. Strip lower courts of jurisdiction to grant rights to any foreign national to enter or remain in the country. Appeals concerning such a matter must then reach the Supreme Court before they can be overturned.
  3. Prevent future lower courts from issuing nationwide injunctions against immigration enforcement acts outside of their respective districts and circuits. No district judge should have the power to control immigration for the entire nation.

Either Congress gets serious about judicial tyranny or we don’t have a democracy.

But they must act now, before another radical jihadist enters our nation as a result of such dangerous civil disobedience by our rogue courts.
