that he cannot fire federal judges. I'm equally sure he was shocked by that information, as he will be when he realizes that the Judiciary Branch is equal in power to the other two branches, including the Executive Branch. He'll also be surprised that the White House is subject to court orders from the Judiciary branch.

There are many surprises awaiting Trump as he attempts to govern by Executive Order. He'll no doubt be surprised that the Republicans who have a majority in both houses of Congress place a high value on the power of the Legislative Branch, too.

Some people learn civics in school. Others have civics thrust upon them by reality.

Poor Trump. All those judges and no authority over them. Whatever will he do with those uppity judges?

The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!
