3. Good point. This is a matter of WHAT vs. HOW

The Republicans are arguing that Trump (not the POTUS but Trump personally) should get to do WHAT he wants while the courts are correctly deciding on HOW it’s done.

Johnson, the little twerp that he is, floated the idea of getting rid of the level of district courts or specific ones. That would throw the already over loaded courts into more of a mess.

Also, his twerpness:

Johnson maintained that the Trump administration is facing what he called an "unusual" response from the courts and he endorsed Issa's bill. "It is a dangerous trend and it violates equal justice under law. That critical principle, it violates our system itself. It violates separation of powers. When a judge thinks that they can enjoin something that a president is doing, that the American people voted for, that is not what the founders intended."


This literally IS the separation of powers 🙄
