American law ultimately is political and/or pragmatic

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

American law ultimately is political and/or pragmatic.

This is obvious on many levels. Sometimes this fact of life is abused a little bit one way or the other, without dire consequences.

Where it matters is in serious situations. USA is facing an extremely serious situation right now — tens of millions of illegal migrants illegally brought into this country by the corrupt Biden regime.

The Biden regime’s purpose was to flood our nation with new Dem voters, which will rapidly yield a one-party state entirely under Dem control. This must be recognized and laws applied accordingly.

Deportation policies today and their legal justifications must be based on the obvious need for removing Biden’s illegal migrants as quickly as possible. If you want to preserve our precious legal framework and the rights of individuals, strict pragmatic policies must be implemented now.

This is not a legal contradiction or a question of Constitutional protections. This is not a time for dithering over legal punctilios. American civilization is facing imminent extinction. The time to act is now. Biden twisted the law to effect an invasion of USA. Trump must bend the law (far, far less, if at all) to remedy Biden’s treason.

Rand Paul is an example of a total fool on this topic: Rand Paul Discusses Deportation Conflict with Constitutional Protection. ABN

Trump Executive Order: Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…Sec. 3.  Eliminating Information Silos.  (a)  Agency Heads shall take all necessary steps, to the maximum extent consistent with law, to ensure Federal officials designated by the President or Agency Heads (or their designees) have full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, data, software systems, and information technology systems — or their equivalents if providing access to an equivalent dataset does not delay access — for purposes of pursuing Administration priorities related to the identification and elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse.  This includes authorizing and facilitating both the intra- and inter-agency sharing and consolidation of unclassified agency records.

(b)  Within 30 days of the date of this order, Agency Heads shall, to the maximum extent consistent with law, rescind or modify all agency guidance that serves as a barrier to the inter- or intra-agency sharing of unclassified information specified in subsection (a) of this section.  Agency Heads shall also review agency regulations governing unclassified data access, including system of records notices, and, within 30 days of the date of this order, submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget cataloging those regulations and recommending whether any should be eliminated or modified to achieve the goals set forth in this order.  Regulatory modifications pursuant to this order are exempt from Executive Order 14192.

The Law Firms that Run DC

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I see a lot of articles saying how President Trump is attacking law firms in Washington DC because he is vindictive. When in fact, it has nothing to do with being vindictive, and everything to do with the fact that they are acting like an extension of the Democratic Party.

This web shows how elite law firms in DC have become de facto political actors, coordinating with bureaucrats, Democratic campaigns, and activist groups to advance one side’s agenda while insulating allies from legal consequences. 

1. Perkins Coie

Partisan Alignment: Strongly Democratic

Key Players: Marc Elias, Michael Sussmann

Involved In:

•Russiagate:

•Hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC to create the Steele Dossier.

•Michael Sussmann was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI about the source of Alfa Bank/Trump server claims (acquitted, but case exposed coordination between Clinton-linked lawyers and the intelligence community).

•Through Marc Elias, aggressively litigated to change election laws in battleground states pre-2020 (e.g., mail-in ballot rules, signature matching, ballot curing).

•Litigated against voter ID laws and redistricting efforts favoring GOP, using courts to alter rules under the guise of civil rights.

Trump directs Bondi to probe attorneys who lob ‘frivolous, unreasonable’ litigation against his administration

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Trump directed US Attorney General Pam Bond to pursue penalties against law firms and lawyers that lodge “frivolous” litigation against the government.

Trump pointed to civil procedure rules barring lawyers from lodging legal filings to “harass” or “cause unnecessary delay” and asked Bondi, 59, to recommend additional steps he could take to fight back.

“Far too many attorneys and law firms have long ignored these requirements when litigating against the Federal Government or in pursuing baseless partisan attacks,” Trump said in a presidential memorandum the White House released Saturday.

“I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States.”

The Trump administration has weathered well over 100 lawsuits since late January.

US to revoke legal status of more than a half-million migrants, urges them to self deport

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Trump administration will be revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of Latin American and Haitian migrants welcomed into the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process, urging them to self-deport or face arrest and removal by deportation agents.

The termination of their work permits and deportation protections under an immigration authority known as parole will take effect in late April, 30 days after March 25, according to a notice posted by the federal government.

The move will affect immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who flew to the U.S. under a Biden administration program, known as CHNV, that was designed to reduce illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border by giving would-be migrants legal migration avenues.

A total of 532,000 migrants entered the U.S. under that policy, which was paused soon after President Trump took office, though it’s unclear how many have been able to secure another status that will allow them to stay in the country legally.

Trump blasts Boasberg for trying to ‘usurp’ his presidency and demands Supreme Court take action

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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

University of Maine to comply with Trump’s policy of keeping men out of women’s sports

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, March 19, 2025 – After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order. Any false claim by the UMaine can, and will, result in onerous and even potentially criminal financial liability.

UMaine’s decision to side with sanity is a win for women and girls in Maine.

USDA provides substantial federal funding to recipients in Maine, including the University of Maine System and its components. Last month, USDA initiated an investigation regarding UMaine policies to assess compliance with Title IX and the President’s Executive Order after concerns arose regarding Maine’s compliance. By February 26, 2025, UMaine responded to USDA’s questions by representing to the government that UMaine does not permit males to participate in women’s sports, and that UMaine does not have males participating in women’s sports. Specifically, UMaine confirmed that they:

  • Do not permit a male student-athlete to identify as a female student-athlete to establish individual eligibility for NCAA-sanctioned women’s sports.
  • Do not permit a male to participate in individual or team contact sports with females.
  • Comply with NCAA regulations and do not permit a male student athlete to participate in NCAA-sanctioned women’s sports.

John Roberts went out of his way to trash Trump — Sean Davis

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

John Roberts didn’t just go out of his way yesterday to trash Trump on a purely political matter—impeachment of corrupt judges—over which Roberts has no authority.

He did it by selectively leaking his statement to left-wing corporate media outlets, lying about its nature (claiming it was only in response to press inquiries rather than a general statement), and then refusing to provide the full statement to conservative media outlets when requested, including @FDRLST.

To date, no one knows the full extent of what Roberts and his taxpayer-funded PR agents have said, because no record of any statement from the court can be found anywhere on the Supreme Court website, a shocking breach of protocol and transparency.

Did the left-wing corporate media outlets hand-picked by Roberts to receive his political rant print it in full, or did they selectively quote it? It is impossible to know, because the Chief Justice is refusing to be transparent about what he said and who he said it to.
