[Note: Sean Davis is the CEO and co-founder of The Federalist. Last night, he posted this excellent commentary about the attempt by Obama Federal Judge James Boasberg’s attempt over the weekend to set himself up as de facto president. Boasberg failed, as I detail elsewhere this morning, but deserves to be punished for this detestable abuse of his office.]
Lest anyone think judicial insurrectionists like Russiagate co-conspirator James Boasberg are plowing new ground with regard to deportation of hostile foreign enemies, they are not. In fact, Boasberg is maliciously violating the law as part of a corrupt conspiracy to seize the powers of the presidency for himself.
We know this because the Supreme Court ruled in 1948—long after World War II was over—that the Alien Enemies Act gave the U.S. president absolute authority to detain and deport a German who had been in the U.S. legally since the 1930s.
In the case of Ludecke v. Watkins, the Supreme Court ruled explicitly that not only could the president deport legal foreign residents even if they weren’t members of a foreign army, but that the courts had no authority to even review the president’s decision to do so.
