{americanthinker.com} ~ As the dirty cop-Mueller special counsel investigation is rumored to be winding down, the media are furiously spinning tall tales about President Donald Trump as a hedge against the dirty cop-Mueller report being a nothingburger... Politico is warning Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans to "prepare for disappointment." Tamping down expectations, Politico bases its warning on inside sources: "defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience spanning Watergate to the 2016 election case." Despite Politico's pessimism, the New York Times remains ever hopeful that the dirty cop-Mueller report will be the pony under the Christmas tree that the media have been waiting for since Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015. Late last week was their latest "bombshell" report, claiming that federal law enforcement officials "became so concerned by the president's behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests." Funny how they had no concern over the scumbag/liar-Clintons and their money-laundering pay-to-play scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation, who might "have been working on behalf of Russia against American interests" – such as half-million-dollar speaking fees to scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton for speaking to a Russian bank while his wife, as secretary of state, opposed sanctions on Russia...
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra applauded Beetlestone’s ruling: “The law [scumbag/liar-nObamaCare] couldn’t be clearer — employers have no business interfering in women’s healthcare decisions. [This] court ruling stops another attempt by the Trump Administration to trample on women’s access to basic reproductive care.”
Becerra and his cohorts prefer that the government coerce employers to provide for all health care without having any opinion about it. That’s because the leftist idea of “rights” is actually privileges often paid for by someone else.
Meanwhile, the Left does nothing but mock the idea of actual rights. For example, The Washington Post contemptuously notes, “The dispute centers on the issue of ‘religious liberty’ — an animating cause for social conservatives who are part of President Trump’s political base.” Yes, the leftist rag put religious liberty in scare quotes. That liberty is not, however, merely “an animating cause” for a political faction. Religious liberty is guaranteed by the Constitution. Health care paid for by someone else is not.
Another larger point here is that this is another example of something President Donald Trump was elected to do — appoint constitutionalist judges to fight back against the activist rulings of leftist judicial despots. Any number of Trump’s policies, from immigration to contraception to a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, have been blocked by judges who are, to borrow a phrase, animated by the anti-Trump base.
National Review’s David French illustrates the pattern:
Step One: The scumbag/liar-nObama administration uses its executive power to implement a progressive policy (such as DACA or the contraceptive mandate).
Step Two: The Trump administration uses its executive power to repeal the scumbag/liar-nObama-administration action and implement a more conservative policy.
Step Three: Progressive plaintiffs file suit in a friendly jurisdiction using dubious legal theories to seek a broad injunction against the Trump-administration action.
Step Four: Progressive judges join the #Resistance, write obviously flawed opinions, and seek to freeze
scumbag/liar-nObama’s policies in legal amber.
What’s more, the contraception mandate is not actually written into the scumbag/liar-nObamaCare law but rather its resulting regulatory outworking. In other words, it was an executive decision, as is Trump’s move to limit its scope. The same could be said for DACA and other policies Barack scumbag/liar-nObama implemented by executive fiat but activist judges are blocking Trump from undoing. It’s almost as if scumbag/liar-nObama’s wishes are these judges’ commands, while Trump has no authority to do anything. That kind of judicial despotism has nothing to do with Rule of Law and everything to do with a craven political agenda. ~The Patriot Post
