    Sessions rails against federal judges who 'erode the rule of law' in blocking Trump policies

    By Alex Pappas, Fox News
    12 hours ago

    Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday railed against federal judges for blocking Trump administration policies, arguing rulings have been driven by political views and not the interpretation of the law.

    “The Constitution gives judges no right to veto a president’s actions because they disagree with him on policy grounds,” Sessions said during a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington.

    Sessions, the nation's top law enforcement officer, cited a federal judge in Brooklyn who heard the arguments on a challenge to the federal government’s winding down of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, immigration program. The judge, he said, called the government’s position “heartless.’

    “With respect: it is emphatically not the province or duty of courts to say whether a policy is compassionate,” Sessions said. “That is for the people and our elected representatives to decide. The court’s role is to say what the law is.”

    Added Sessions, “A judge’s comments on policy like this are highly offensive, and disrespectful of the legislative and executive branches.”

    He also spoke out against judges who issue nationwide injunctions, as has been done against the president’s travel ban.

    “Today, more and more judges are issuing these lawless nationwide injunctions and in effect, single judges are making themselves super-legislators for the entire United States,” he said. “We have nearly 600 federal district judges in the United States—each with the ability to issue one of these overreaching nationwide orders.”

    Sessions said the judiciary is not a “superior or policy-setting branch” but is “co-equal.”

    “Those who ignore this duty and follow their own policy views erode the rule of law and create bad precedents and, importantly, undermine the public respect necessary for the courts to function properly,” he said.

    Fox News’ Jake Gibson contributed to this report.

    Has anyone raised the question as to whether or not there can be a legislative fix to DACA? I'm of the opinion that there is no constitutional legal "fix" to DACA, because there is no constitutional legislative power for amnesty and Trump should veto any and every such bill that might make its way to the desk of the President on that basis.

    People are very confused about this simple fact. The Congress has no authority to pardon a crime for laws it passes. Only the President has that authority. The Dreamer Bill, the 1986 Reagan Amnesty and all the subsequent amnesties related to that stupidity, the DACA Fix bills, the BRIDGE ACT, the SUCCEED ACT, the Gang of Eight bill, they're all unconstitutional.

    Congress has the authority to pass laws, it has the authority to amend laws it passes, it even has the authority to repeal laws it passes, but it does NOT have the constitutional authority to exempt, excuse, pardon, or amnesty anyone subject to those laws while they are in effect. So if Congress wants to excuse all illegal aliens brought here by their parents going forward, it has the right to amend US immigration law and exempt minors brought here by their parents from US immigration law. That is something they can do for the future, going forward, but it can not exempt minors or any other illegal alien already in the country from US immigration law in effect when they arrived, not by age, by date of arrival, not by education, not by achievement, not by job, not by length of stay. To do so is a pardon, an exclusive authority of the President for criminals ino our jurisdiction and only then can only pardon the sentence or financial penalty, but even that fails to pardon the illegal presence, they still have to leave the country, they still have to be deported, but can do so without jail time or fines. While a President has the power of pardon, the President does not have the authority to exempt anyone from US immigration law, only the jail time or fine.

    The only authority under the US Constitution that the Congress or any branch of the federal government has with regards to immigration is to prohibit it which is the constitutional authority for US immigration law that prohibits immigration. That is the authority for Border Patrol, ICE, Coast Guard, work and travel visas, and so forth, to keep those out who have no permission to be here and to ensure that those given visas to be tourists and temporary workers to behave as such while they are here and leave when they're supposed to.

    In the wisdom of our founders, everything that's going on today with regards to immigration is all unconstitutional. Green cards issued by the federal government are unconstitutional because the federal government has no constitutional authority to issue green cards and can only issue temporary work visas when petitioned by a state to do so. Yes, under the US Constitution, the only entity with the power to admit immigrants are states, subject to the power of the federal government to prohibit such admissions.

    This meme we've listened to for years about the federal government has sole authority over immigration is totally false. The federal government has only one authority over immigration and that is to prevent it, and even that is not a sole authority, states have every authority to prevent immigration into their state, because they have sole authority over who enters their state for migration purposes. This doesn't apply to tourists and visitors, it applies to those who migrate here or who are imported into this country for resident purposes.

    Everything that is going on today with the federal government handing out millions of green cards and renewable visas and deferred status and TPS and parole and refugees and asylum seekers, and abandonment of enforcement of its own laws that prevent immigration is all illegal because it's all unconstitutional to begin with.

    And for those who don't know the section of the Constitution that applies here it's Article 1, Section 9.

    Article 1
    Section 9.

    The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.

    Any form of Amnesty by the federal government, any branch, whether Congress, Executive or Courts, to excuse, exempt or pardon illegal aliens already here in violation of existing US immigration law is unconstitutional because it violates Article 1, Section 9, Clause 1. It also violates ex post factor and bill of attainder prohibitions of the US Constitution as well as the uniform rules of naturalization clause in Article 1, Section 8, and the equal protection clause laid out in the 14th Amendment.

    What is going on is treasonous quackery and Americans need to rise up with a copy of the US Constitution in hand waving it in their faces and demand an end to all the stupidity, ignorance, and treason that amnesty and all the other immigration absurdities signify.

    If Attorney General Jeff Sessions were more agressive with his investigations, lawsuits, and legal teams at his disposal then perhaps these liberal activist judges, and other left with power groups, would be less likely to abuse their power.
