Judge Boasberg’s contempt orders against Trump officials reversed
An appeals court panel consisting of three judges reversed Judge Boasberg’s contempt order against Trump administration officials. This contempt order was issued despite the US Supreme Court’s lifting the restrictions on deporting Venezuelans utilizing the Alien Enemies Act. Judge Boasberg insisted that despite the Supreme Court’s decision, the fact that the former’s order was “disobeyed” still had to be addressed. The majority ruled that Boasberg’s order forced an equal branch to capitulate to an unlawful judicial order. The minority described Boasberg as having “skill and wisdom” for handling the case.
From ABC 8 News:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled the administration was entitled to an intervention because U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s efforts to punish administration officials raised immediate concerns.
“The order forces a coequal branch to choose between capitulating to an unlawful judicial order and subjecting its officials to a dubious prosecution,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, who was in the majority.
Rao was joined by U.S. Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, both Trump appointees.
U.S. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard, an appointee of former President Obama, dissented. She complimented Boasberg for his “skill and wisdom” handling the case, which has sparked impeachment threats from Trump and a barrage of public criticism from his supporters.
“Even when faced with what reasonably appeared to him to be foot dragging, evasion, and outright disregard for his jurisdiction and his orders, he responded with unfailing composure,” Pillard wrote.
“The majority does an exemplary judge a grave disservice by overstepping its bounds to upend his effort to vindicate the judicial authority that is our shared trust,” she continued.
Boasberg entered the national limelight for being assigned the first lawsuit when Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act in March to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members to a notorious Salvadoran megaprison.
At a hastily convened Saturday hearing that weekend, Boasberg ordered the administration turn around any airborne planes deporting migrants under the rarely invoked statute. The order was later wiped by the Supreme Court, but the judge has accused the administration of willfully disregarding it and still sought to hold officials responsible.
Boasberg is an Obama appointee.

What an ASS-HOLE that wannabee judge is
These District Court “Judges” have no desire to be Judges. Their ambition is to be sovereign over the Executive and Legislative branches.
Fuck Bilgeberg. Fuck Bilgeberg Hard. Dry. Sideways, with an angry, rabid, aids infested, meth intoxicated, starving porcupuine fucking a wild bobcat in a phone booth, and then plug his ass closed with am entire Saguaro Cactus.
Agreed. Don’t sugar coat it.
Worms gotta eat.
Hey ChipNASA, just take a deep breath, let it out and genuinely let us know how you REALLY feel about that pisspants asswipe piece-o’-shit dicklicking dirty spandex-sniffing fuckputz of a so-called Judge!
Now hold the judge in contempt in a Federal prison…
I’ve got no problem here. Everything functioned as it was supposed to and I can put another check mark in my book that the system can work, despite the best efforts of certain politicians to undermine it and cause it to fail.
Except, the only reason that corrupt bastard was reversed is because two honest judges appointed by Trump, and not by The D-rat presidents of recent history, decided the appeal. The 0bama bitch dissented.
Its almost as if every judge Obama appointed is an ideologically driven moron with no understanding of the law..
And that’s the point. To usher in the communist utopia they’ve been wetting themselves over. And it’ll work this time. Promise.
Had Trump not won this time, I don’t even want to imagine what they would have accomplished these last few months.
For real.
Had Trump won in 20, we would never have seen what the dims and rinos were doing to us, or had planned to do. They felt emboldened, so sure they were of Trump rotting in a jail cell, they picked up and accelerated their plans that were interrupted in 16.
Boasberg is one of the corrupt District of Criminals circuit court judges. He covered for the abuse of the FISA warrant system by the 0bama and Biden DOJ/FBI. He also voted to try to imprison Gen. Flynn when that corrupt Judge Sullivan wanted to have his pal retired judge prosecute and try him even though the DOJ was trying to have the bogus charges dismissed. Boasberg and Sullivan are both infected with incurable TDS, just like our resident commie cuttlefish.
Honestly, I can’t blame Trump for having anything but contempt for these people!
