Barr complains that courts won't just let Trump do whatever he wants

By Dan Desai Martin -
May 22, 2019

Trump's attorney general has a real problem with federal courts upholding the law.

Attorney General William Barr is apparently very upset that courts are preventing Trump from breaking the law and ignoring the U.S. Constitution.

In a speech to the American Law Institute on Tuesday, Barr whined incessantly about federal courts issuing nationwide injunctions to stop the Trump administration from implementing policies that are likely unconstitutional.

The injunctions "frustrated presidential policy for most of the President's term with no clear end in sight," Barr said, adding that courts have issued a dramatically higher number of injunctions to stop Trump's policies than they have in the past.

Since Trump took office, federal courts have issued 37 nationwide injunctions to stop Trump policies from taking effect until they were reviewed further. During President Obama's first two years in office, that number was two.

OK for them to be above the law. Barr is sick just like shithole. Impeach the motherf***er.

Stop trying to pass legislation that is illegal and violates the Constitutional rights of people who cannot fight back against a hostile state intent on serving Trump's personal vendettas.

This administration is intent upon enacting numerous illegal/unconstitutional laws and mandates. Barr knows this full well but he has resigned himself to acting as the president's personal legal counsel rather than the Attorney General of the United States. The two were made for each other; wanna be despots who crave power and unlimited authority without legal limit or guidance. They have no honor or integrity.
