Donald Trump accused District Court Judge James Boasberg of trying to ‘usurp the power of the presidency’ while demanding the Supreme Court take action amid a high-stakes legal standoff.
Trump called Boasberg a ‘publicity hound’ in his latest attack on the judiciary after the judge halted his massive deportation of migrants with a temporary restraining order.
‘Judge James Boasberg is doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency,’ he warned.
‘The danger is unparalleled!’
Boasberg had issued the temporary order after the administration flew more than 200 alleged gangsters to El Salvador.
Trump mocked Boasberg as ‘a local, unknown Judge’ and added that he’s a ‘grandstander, looking for publicity.’
Boasberg on Thursday deemed a court filing from the administration ‘woefully insufficient’ because it was filed by a low-level staffer.
One day earlier, he hosted a contentious hearing with DOJ lawyers and said he wants to find out whether the government ‘deliberately flouted’ his order.
Roberts is up to his eyeballs in this as he is the one who appointed Boasberg to be the top FISA court judge and both knew the reason was to hide FBI spying on Trump’s first campaign and presidency. Much good may come of this because, ironically, neither judge has a shred of legal or moral standing. Their entire careers are irreparably stained by their malfeasance. ABN
