So many on OPP have a blind hatred for Trump. I have stated several times that Trump has abided by court decisions far more than Obama ever did. If Obama didn't like something, he would issue Executive Orders to make himself the legislator.

The following decisions are not the final answer as there will be appeals. But Trump have proven time and time again that he has respect for the rule of law rather than making law as he goes along.

Federal judges rule against Trump in 3 cases on executive powers
David KnowlesEditor,Yahoo News•October 11, 2019
President Trump suffered defeats in three major court rulings Friday that address the limits of his executive authority.

The rulings come as the White House has sought to thwart House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into the president’s request that the Ukrainian government investigate one of his political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden. While Friday’s decisions stem from cases unrelated to the Ukraine matter, they each address what plaintiffs claimed was a president overstepping his constitutional bounds.

Business records
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a lower court decision, ruling that Congress can see eight years of Trump’s business records held by his accounting firm, Mazars USA. The House Oversight Committee had subpoenaed the records after the president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen testified that Trump had exaggerated his wealth when applying for loans, which is a crime.

“Contrary to the President’s arguments, the Committee possesses authority under both House Rules and the Constitution to issue the subpoena, and Mazars must comply,” Judges David S. Tatel and Patricia A. Millett wrote. The judges went on to call the congressional subpoena for Trump’s records “a valid exercise of the legislative authority.”

Trump will likely appeal again, either to the full D.C. Circuit Court or to the Supreme Court.

Denying green cards and visas to low-income immigrants
U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels of the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary nationwide injunction blocking a Trump administration rule set to take effect next week that would have made it easier to deny green cards and visas to immigrants who cannot show they will not require public assistance. After the administration announced the new rule, nearly a dozen states filed suit to block it.

“The Rule is simply a new agency policy of exclusion in search of a justification,” Daniels wrote in his scathing opinion. “It is repugnant to the American dream of the opportunity for prosperity and success through hard work and upwards mobility.”

Later on Friday afternoon, Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton issued a preliminary injunction in a case announced by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

The president’s legal team is expected to appeal the decisions.

Wall funding
U.S. District Court Judge David Briones, in the Western District of Texas, ruled that the declaration of a national emergency under which Trump diverted funds from other agencies to construct a Mexico border wall was unlawful.

The decision found that the law “expressly forbids” a president from using money allocated by Congress for any other purpose than was originally set forth. The county of El Paso and the Border Network for Human Rights brought the lawsuit, contending that Trump had broken the law by diverting Defense Department funds to build the wall.

The judge did not specify what should now happen, but has asked the county and the Border Network to file a proposed preliminary injunction within 10 days. In the meantime, construction of the border wall can continue, but that could come to a halt once the terms of the injunction are specified.

An appeal is expected from the Trump administration.

Louie: I don't know what you're trying to say....a******n is currently still legal....homosexuality is legal and rampant....even doing the t*********r moves are legal....which makes them all "laws of the land."

You mention "believing in what our Lord has preached" - yet you -and your f**e president over look the most basic and fundamental laws God gave man to live by; such as not lying, or stealing, or bearing false witness, or discriminating, or creating division and scandal. What you seem to have forgotten is that 'our Lord' said "...you cannot straddle the fence, man cannot serve two masters...." So, in this case, either you are for the Lord and righteousness, or you are for Trump and the deliberate wrong things he does and unrighteousness.

Do you think God somehow forgot what He said and accepts Trump's deliberate wrong doing as if its the most natural thing to do? If so, let me assure you, God does not forget, nor does He make mistakes. So when you support a person who deliberately defies the very laws of God....you become a CINO - Christian in Name Only - is that who you are Louie?

Some sins may be against themselves and some are also against others. Give a listen to the latest Candace Owens show in which she interviews Walt Heyer who lived as a t*********r woman for eight years. He shares his experience with g****r dysphoria, s*x c****e, regret, and his moving story of healing and restoration. Don’t miss this powerful interview.

The video is about so much more than G****r. It lays out the core of the l*****t agenda and how it is working to destroy everything that is good and beautiful in the world.

Yes, I do know these things. Nothing really new from what Clinton/Gore did. I guess this is why we call politics the second oldest profession (and it has many similarities to the first).

Jedi, have you noticed that no one is losing their cool and slinging cheap shots at each other? I like this so much better, don't you? You present good arguments and provoke deep thinking. Much easier to be respectful of the other person even when we disagree. For the most part, so are the others chiming in. Slatten always brings something good to the conversation. I don't have my position carved in stone. (If I did I would still be a McGovern Liberal; The Horror! LOL). I remain unmoved in general, but keep trying. I don't expect either of us will flip our position, nor anyone reading what we say. I hope we can continue to discuss things this way. Have a good day sir.

Yes, once again, I agree that the potential for politicians to be flawed is great on both sides -no doubt about that! I also agree that it is much better to have meaningful discussion and an exchange of ideas as opposed to bashing and slinging insults! I admit, at times, I still find myself erring on the side of emotion, but I am working to keep that in check! I don't doubt that Trump, like most people, does in fact have some good in him. Unfortunately for me, trying to see that 'good' in him is like "not being able to see the forest for all of the trees" when it comes to Trump.
From the days of my youth, it was always drilled into me, "don't lie, steal, or c***t others" because you don't want that happening to you." Now, of course I realize there will always be those who do lie, c***t, and steal no matter what. But when "the president" -who in my opinion, should be an example, a role model for our children and youth, to deliberately engage in those negatives, and then lie to cover them up when exposed just makes Trump unfit. Yes, I know that I am simply "kicking against the pricks" -which is my weak attempt to point out what I see as unacceptable flaws in the president. No, it is doubtful that either of us will change our viewpoint....but the discussion is helpful. Thanks, and have a great day!
