The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration a major victory Monday over the use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove noncitizens like the members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang.
This decision reversed D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg who had ruled against Trump’s deportations.
Can appointed judges overrule a duly-elected President?
On March 21st, Sen. Chuck Schumer told Fox News’ political analyst Lisa Boothe (video here) that Democrats put 235 progressive judges on the bench and “they are ruling against Trump.” Sounds like an admission to political lawfare.
THE TARIFF WAR
World leaders are outraged because President Trump is fighting fire with fire by using reciprocal tariffs. America had been losing the trade war for decades as other countries tariffed American products at much higher rates than the U.S. The trade deficit has hurt the middle class as manufacturing moved overseas. Those job losses have devastated towns that once were prosperous. In my own state of Indiana, the towns of Marion and Gary Indiana have whole neighborhoods that have been abandoned because the major employer moved their business.
Trump is trying to level the playing field in the hope of bringing manufacturing back to America or at the very least, force nations to lower their tariffs on America.
It looks to be working because Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent says up to 70 nations contacted the administration wanting to renegotiate their tariffs.
Of course, some of my readers are vehemently against Trump’s tariffs.
Personally, I think we should give Trump’s tariff negotiations a chance to work. And I’m praying that he is successful because if this doesn’t work, I imagine the Democrats will gain control of Congress in the midterm elections and will immediately begin impeachment proceedings…again.
