<\/p>\nRUSH: Don in Brownstown, Michigan. Great to have you, sir. What are you thinking about today? What\u2019s happening? What\u2019s up? What\u2019s shaking?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, thank you for taking my call. It\u2019s really an honor. I\u2019ve been listening since about 1995. My point today is the national emergency declared by Donald Trump, I think it\u2019s very important that it go all the way to the Supreme Court. The left has graciously pointed out that no other president has made a declaration quite like this. And I agree. No other president has been faced with an emergency that is a direct result of actions and inactions by the Congress in a select minority of states and local governments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me play devil\u2019s advocate with you, \u2019cause you sound eager for the president to declare a national emergency. You just said that he\u2019s doing it as a result of Congress and state governments not following through and recognizing that we\u2019ve got an emergency and helping him deal with it. Are you worried at all that he doesn\u2019t have the constitutional authority to do this? I mean, he\u2019s basically telling Congress, “Screw you. I\u2019m gonna do this anyway.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, that\u2019s one of the reasons I think it should go to the Supreme Court. But also I think that Donald Trump has a preponderance of evidence on his side. If at any point in the last 25 years any of the Congresses had gotten serious about securing the border and protecting its citizens, we wouldn\u2019t be where we are right now, declaring an emergency. If the state and local governments had cooperated with ICE in deporting illegals, we wouldn\u2019t be at this point right now. But they have defied federal laws, and even the former president of the United States put out a directive to defy federal laws.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That I agree with. That I think is something Trump could use. “Look. I\u2019m being forced into this because we have cities and we have states who are refusing, not just refusing to enforce federal law, they are sabotaging and undermining the efforts of federal law enforcement to enforce the law.” That would be ICE and Border Patrol. We have got mayors in places like Oakland and San Francisco who are advising illegals when an ICE raid is coming and where to go to avoid them. We have sanctuary cities. We are in open, wanton violation of federal law. It is destroying the country, and drastic action is necessary. And much of this exists because Congress and other agencies will not enforce the laws on the books. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying \u2013” that\u2019s what the president could say.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I would agree. I think there is a preponderance of evidence on the side of the American people and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s the thing, though. You say you want it to go to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I don\u2019t know how many people have noticed this. I, of course, have, because I have the time to get intimately involved. But do you know who the latest reliably leftist judge is on the Supreme Court?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019ve noticed Kavanaugh is sort of looking a little liberal.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That would be the Chief Justice John Roberts who is voting with the libs every case he can. He\u2019s voting with the four liberal justices on that court every opportunity he can. Now, let\u2019s go back and remember something that the chief justice decided to go public with. It\u2019s been in the last couple of months. When Trump was talking about all the left-wing judges, the Clinton judges and the Obama judges that would stand up and try to stop either his travel ban or any other legal executive action or order, Justice Roberts went public, issued a statement, said he was righteously indignant and offended by that, that there aren\u2019t Obama judges and that there aren\u2019t Clinton judges and that aren\u2019t Bush judges, that we have wonderful and great judges, and that\u2019s the only kind of judges we\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There aren\u2019t any of this Bush judge, Clinton judge, Obama judge. Well, clearly there are. One of the great problems the American judicial system is that the left has also corrupted it by putting left wing ideologues on the bench, and they\u2019ve been confirmed there by Democrat Senates, in some cases Republican Senates. I think the chief, I don\u2019t know him. I\u2019ve never met him. But I have intel, okay? I think he is a Never Trumper of the first order. I think he is — the popular parlance today is “of the swamp.”<\/p>\n
I think he is one of the establishmentarians standing in good stead. He\u2019s clearly an establishment guy, ruling class guy. I think he\u2019s one of these people that just shudders in disbelief every time Trump\u2019s name is mentioned, every time Trump is on TV. And going public to dispute Trump\u2019s assertion of Clinton judges, Obama judges, and Bush judges, is a pretty good indication.<\/p>\n
So you say you wish for it to go to the Supreme Court. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Well, and then you mentioned Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh has been, ah, been a couple of cases where it looks like he may be trying to signal to Feinstein and some of the others, hey, look, see, you were wrong about me. That stuff, those kinds of attacks, people\u2019s reputations, it scares the hell out of \u2019em, folks, in that town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
