Trump Derangement Syndrome? Federal judges let loose when ruling on the executive branch

From the bench, judges say Trump acts like a 'king' or 'dictator' and would be rebuked by Jesus

One appeals court judge said the administration treated some illegal immigrant deportees worse than the U.S. treated Nazis. A U.S. district judge scorned the president for acting like a “king” or “dictator.” Still other judges have accused the president and his team of racism and “animus” toward transgender people.

The judges are lecturing President Trump in an attempt to bat down his expansive agenda early in his second term.

He has given it right back, calling for one judge to be impeached, asking that another be booted from hearing his cases and filing an ethics complaint against a third judge.

As I said this morning this fits in with Trump's MO, SLAPP lawsuits, only this time to silence the courts and judges!

Judge Ana Reyes has been one of the more energetic jurists in her badgering of the president and his attorneys.

So what did Trump's justice do? Why they attacked...

Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, said some judges see themselves as the “judicial resistance in a sense” and think they must stop what they consider to be beyond the pale.

Elliot Mincberg, a senior fellow with People For the American Way, said the judges are trying to uphold principles of separation of powers and not exercise improper judicial activism.

Mr. Trump’s fans on social media have adopted his anger, and courts say some take it further.

Their anger is spreading over into other avenues of violence.

With Trump more and more ignoring the courts, including the Supreme Court and his talk about deporting citizens there has more concern from the LGBTQ+ community!

During World War II the Japanese Americans who were born and raised in the U.S. were put in internment camps under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. They never had their day in court, they never were arrested for a crime, they didn't come to this country illegally... they were just locked up.

AP News reports that 

In dissent, the three liberal justices said the administration has sought to avoid judicial review in this case and the court “now rewards the government for its behavior.” Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined portions of the dissent.

[...]

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said it would be harder for people to challenge deportations individually, wherever they are being held, and noted that the administration has also said in another case before the court that it’s unable to return people who have been deported to the El Salvador prison by mistake.

My concern is that the far right want to get rid of us... make us disappear! That the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 will be used to force LGBTQ+ people into interment camps saying we are somehow "enemies" in our own country for demanding our rights.
