President Trump’s executive order to defund “sanctuary cities” has now been blocked by a federal judge who is, once again, evidenced to be a leftist, politicized hack.
The leftist judge. Fox News reported:
What he did. The Obama appointee from the Northern District of California issued an injunction against the order after Santa Clara County and San Francisco sued over potentially losing federal funds should they continue to flout federal law and serve as so-called “sanctuaries” for criminals.Federal Judge William Orrick III, who on Tuesday blocked President Trump’s order to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities, reportedly bundled hundreds of thousands of dollars for President Barack Obama.The same judge issued a restraining order in 2015 against the advocacy group responsible for undercover videos purporting to show Planned Parenthood employees plotting to sell baby organs.At the time, The Federalist found that Orrick raised at least $200,000 for Obama and donated more than $30,000 to groups supporting him.Orrick, 63, also raised money for the failed presidential bid of then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004.
Reuters reported: “The ruling from U.S. District Judge William Orrick III in San Francisco said Trump’s Jan. 25 order targeted broad categories of federal funding for sanctuary governments and that plaintiffs challenging the order were likely to succeed in proving it unconstitutional.”
Orrick’s comments. While the Department of Justice asserted that the suits assumed too broad an interpretation of the executive order, the judge disagreed in a similar fashion to how the politicized judiciary did in regard to Trump’s travel ban.
“And if there was doubt about the scope of the Order, the President and Attorney General have erased it with their public comments,” Orrick wrote.
Orrick went on to claim that Trump’s order served as a “weapon” to be used against jurisdictions that oppose Trump’s immigration policies — better known as the law — and the judge apparently based his assertions on his interpretation of Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ previous comments.
“Federal funding that bears no meaningful relationship to immigration enforcement cannot be threatened merely because a jurisdiction chooses an immigration enforcement strategy of which the President disapproves,” Orrick wrote.
What this means. It means that we are under the rule of a rogue, hyper left-wing politicized judiciary and conservatives — and any Democrats that actually care about the Constitution, if there are any left — need to step up to rein them in.
