"...the mere fact that this charade continues more than 18 months later speaks not just to Boasberg’s deep partisanship but the lack of higher courts to successfully rein him in." 😠😡🤬

Looking forward to your updates👍

Utterly insane all of it

We need Congress to grow a spine and start impeaching these rogue judges, until then they are emboldened and that mentality is creeping down the chain of judges to the local level!

Unfortunately, we don’t have enough support in the Senate to remove them, even if the House were to advance articles of impeachment to trial.

Respectfully, I detest this defeatist attitude! This is no reason to not impeach. As the Dims have shown us the process is the punishment; moreover, I want them on the record as supporting such treachery.

Fair enough. Personally, I’d like to see it happen. What I’d really like to see is Congress codify President Trump’s EOs into law. That would strip the judiciary of the ability to cancel them through fiat. That would really raise the approval rating for Congress, which has been in the gutter for decades at this point.

I don’t disagree with the idea of getting them on the record. Democrats don’t care, though. They want the judicial obstruction. We can’t get to 60 votes in the Senate, so every Republican can vote to impeach and it won’t matter. It won’t really change anything. That was all I was saying. I’m not being defeatist. If anything, I’m being cynical.

I do not dispute that the Dims don't care, but hopefully their voters will wake up and see what's going on. I disagree that "it won't matter." It will send a clear message to the offending judges that they will have to account (and there's always a chance it becomes a wake up call to CJ Roberts that he's not doing his job). "The process is the punishment" is not just a saying, it is very real. Also, I accept the correction, one has to by cynical in this environment.

Ignoring Boasberg's orders protects our Republic by reaffirming the separation of powers. Boasberg can huff and puff but if his orders are simply ignored, he really has no recourse. Meanwhile his authority is undermined by his own actions.

Criminally indict the entire Department of Justice? It's not surprising he hasn't completed the paperwork. Who would take that seriously?

Thank you for following this travesty of justice. Republican voters wonder why few are being held accountable for the many things that were done during the last administration. These activist judges across the country are a big part of that.

A federal courtroom should never become a judge’s personal war room against a president. Julie Kelly is right to hammer the danger of an inquiry that keeps expanding while its own legal foundations remain contested. I find Boasberg’s persistence constitutionally alarming. Criminal contempt carries consequences far beyond a bruised judicial ego, and the procedures must be exacting. The administration’s challenge to his investigative role deserves a serious answer from the full court. Judicial independence demands restraint as well as resolve. If Boasberg has exceeded his authority, the appellate court should stop him decisively. A robe gives its wearer power, which is precisely why boundaries matter.

Time to fully investigate this activist judge, he is on an ego trip, subpoena all his correspondence, emails, phone records, text messages, campaign contributions his entire background. Subpoena him before the Senate and make him tell the truth, if he lies indict him and remove him from the bench.

We are so sick of this creep!

Boasberg sees himself as a demigod.

I used to think the Democrat Party was the biggest threat to America. Now I'm convinced it's the judicial branch. Oh wait, it's the same thing.

What value to our society in any form is the unhinged protection of heinous criminals, especially those that are illegal aliens such as Tren de Aragua? “Ideology makes one incompetent”. History will look back on all the incompetents such as boasberg and the rest of the hive minded, group think, virtue signaling suicidal ilk who thought this was good for the United States and its actual citizens.

Thanks for this refresher course, Julie. The only thing that comes to mind pertaining to this execrable example of a judge is that our country would be well-served if we did not have some worthless, ball-less Inside-the-Beltway-Establishment-Statists-RINOS serving in Congress. This ridiculous federal judge should be impeached and removed from the bench but, then again, I won't hold my breath until that happens because I don't want to turn purple waiting for that to occur.

The ridiculousness of these judges never ends. What a clown show. And as usual, an egregious waste of taxpayer money. It's also sad that some will have to waste time preparing a defense against this nonsense instead of accomplishing something of value for the American people.

More obvious contempt from “Red Queen” Boasberg. Serpent! Asp! 🐍

If there is a Black Mass held in the WDC area, it has to be led by this acolyte of Satanic chaos.

These rogue judges, especially Boasberg, have really overstepped their authority. The fact that Boasberg continues to get away with ignoring SCOTUS not only highlights our broken justice system , but casts an intense light on the fecklessness of Justice Roberts.
