The criminally convicted US President IS making his party members uncomfortable….
They do NOT want a President who is constantly fighting with Federal judges in trying getting around and disobeying the ‘the LAW’….
And arresting judges?
(A Rookie Mistake)
Even State judges ?
Should NOT be policy…..
Republican lawmakers are feeling uncomfortable about President Trump’s escalating fight with the federal judiciary, which intensified in recent weeks because of the administration’s handling of a Maryland man who was deported to El Salvador and the FBI’s high-profile arrest of a Milwaukee County judge.
They say Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who was deported to a Salvadoran prison because of an oversight, deserves due process, though they want to avoid a direct fight with the White House over the charged issue.
Republicans also say the photo FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was “shocking,” even though they believe she should face consequences if she broke the law….
…
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis wrote in an April 4 decision there were “no legal grounds whatsoever” for Abrego Garcia’s “arrest, detention, or removal.”
Harvie Wilkinson, appellate judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, wrote in a mid-April decision that the Trump administration was “asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order.”
Those sternly worded judicial decisions are leaving Republicans on Capitol Hill uneasy about the administration’s growing tensions with the courts…
…
Rule-of-law conservatives and libertarians, a key faction of the GOP, have criticized what they view as the lack of due process in Abrego Garcia’s case and the administration’s reluctance to facilitate his return to the United States, despite a ruling from the Supreme Court.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said the Constitution clearly gives all “persons” living in the United States due process under the law.
“The Constitution says persons, it doesn’t say citizens,” he said. “The question is, has [Abrego Garcia] had due process, which is a factual dispute.”…
…
Republican senators this week said the FBI’s tactics might have been “heavy-handed” even if the judge deserves to be punished for interfering in a law enforcement operation.
Leading Republican lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), have urged Trump to respect the federal judiciary as a coequal separate branch of government and to heed its rulings.
He told reporters earlier this year the federal courts “have a very valid role and need to be listened to and heard in the process.”….
I will not be surprised if Garcia ends up back before a judge IN a US Court….
