When Judge James Boasberg ordered a plane in international airspace to turn around, I quipped that a D.C. judge was declaring jurisdiction over the entire planet, but my satire was only slightly ahead of reality.
Judge Keith P. Ellison in Texas ordered the Trump administration to restore and maintain communications with an illegal Venezuelan deported to El Salvador and District Judge Brian E. Murphy ordered the Trump administration to maintain custody of illegals deported to South Sudan.
It ought to go without saying that federal judges have no jurisdiction in either El Salvador or South Sudan (I’m not sure anyone technically has much jurisdiction in South Sudan) and since these are foreign countries where the United States is not in control, issuing orders to the administration demanding that they do things in other countries is entirely unworkable and outside the powers of the administration. Judges cannot dictate how presidents pursue relations with other countries. That’s setting very specific powers that are under presidential control and not subject to juridical control oversight, otherwise a judge could order an administration to end or restore relations with other countries or make specific demands of them.
But, to paraphrase Andrew Jackson, if Judge Ellison wants to issue such an order, he’s welcome to send it to El Salvador and ask them to enforce it. Likewise, Judge Murphy can issue an order to South Sudan and see if they’ll do something with it. But if federal judges really want to rule the planet, they’ll need to start issuing orders to the military instead.
Federal judges have jurisdiction over American citizens even outside the US.
Nope I think not.
British judges definitely have jurisdiction over UK citizens overseas.
England–now THERE is an example to follow. England is dead, man, missit, missit, missit.
According to the US Constitution, they have no authority whatsoever over America.
You leftists are scum. Oikophobic pieces of shit. If I ever saw you I would beat the shit out of your weak ass.
You’re either a liar or insane.
Illegals are not American citizens
Why do you say they are American citizens? How did they become citizens?
He said they AREN”T American citizens.
So you’re saying El Salvador are American citizens? You retarded or something?
He’s gay and takes it up the ass.
What about where there’s no extradition? Most countries will not let the US have a criminal back unless you take the death penalty off the table and muslim countries certainly won’t hand back US citizen- terrorists.
Let these fool hardy demonic influenced judges get their funky asses over to these nations and demand the courts hear them because they are an appointed USA federal judge – Let’s see how they like being locked up for being a political agitator in those 3rd world nations – bwaaa haaaa haaa haaaa
Do federal district court judges have jurisdiction on Mars?
Or the moon …
Says who?
If he is in that country, the United States has no jurisdiction!
Didn’t think judge know about Article 18, Section 113 of the “Immigrantion Law?”
Prima facie evidence that the judges are insane and should be institutionalized.
Thanks Daniel, very interesting !!!!!
Laws and legal systems are really crazy, I’ve been reading Mommsen about the development of the laws and legal systems of Ancient Rome.
What is next? Judges having their own expeditionary forces?
Yeah, let them expedite a mission up their butts.
It will be interesting to see if Trump has the stones to use the Andrew Jackson method. The people that run things in DC have already shown they have no intention of following the law. (Milly). and many underlings in other agencies have been identified.
If he just started withholding checks to these district courts, all foolishness would cease. Everyone would stop for a breath. Otherwise we are on the roller coaster to implosion.
I guess the judge could try to have the illegals extradited.
Operational control of an aircraft is a very specific legal concept. It flows through highly regulated legal pathways. Judge Boasberg attempted to seize operational control of a US flagged aircraft in international airspace. He should be arrested, and charged and tried in the jurisdiction of the FAA headquarters: Kansas.
The law is one of the things that leftists most want to destroy. To be less grounded in the legal code, more bereft of common sense, more contrary to any sense of justice is the point of these rulings.
robe-*******, proceed @ your own risk
OK, just STAY IN TOUCH! Send them a LETTER and HOPE you didn’t waste the STAMP!
Actually, a judge is not free to ask a foreign country to enforce his order. Judges do not have diplomatic powers.
If people knew the history of how the law developed from Ancient Rome onwards, it would shake their confidence in the legal system.
I have absolutely no confidence in the legal system, Having been fucked by it at least five times.
Fucking Romans. Thanks for that, you assholes. Go build an aqueduct and shut the fuck up.
Stay out of Omahell Nebraska. That place never saw a husband it wouldn’t fuck over.
CA may be crazy but at least men have minimal rights here.
