Dear @realDonaldTrump
Article III Section 1 reads in part -
"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, AND IN SUCH INFERIOR COURTS ...."
Meaning, not only does the U.S. Supreme Court have the power to preside and rule in legal cases, so do all inferior courts.
According to the Federal Judicial Center, INFERIOR COURTS (known as Article III Courts) are comprised of:
- the Supreme Court of the United States
- the U.S. courts of appeals
- the U.S. DISTRICT COURTS
- the U.S. Court of International Trade
Article III Section 2 reads in part:
"The judicial Power shall extend TO ALL CASES, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States .... —to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party...."
Meaning, the judicial branch of government has the Constitutionally given right to make decisions and/or rulings involving ALL CASES and controversies that have the United States government as its plaintiff or defendant.
Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison (1803) set precedent giving the Court power to interpret laws and determine their constitutionality, effectively making it a co-equal branch of government.
Marbury v. Madison gave the Courts the power to declare laws passed by Congress - or as has been understood since it's ruling, the president - as invalid if it can be determined that such a law has violated the U.S. Constitution.
Chief justice John Marshall wrote that:
".... a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
Thereby, Marbury v. Madison, reaffirmed Article III Section 2 of the United States Constitution.
PLUS, @realDonaldTrump
Federal district courts, according to uscourts. gov - "are the primary trial courts of the federal court system. Federal district courts have jurisdiction to hear nearly all categories of federal civil and criminal cases."
According to the U.S. Department of Justice Offices of the United States Attorneys:
"The district courts are the general trial courts of the federal court system."
"Some [federal district] courts have nationwide jurisdiction for issues such as tax (United States Tax Court), claims against the federal government (United States Court of Federal Claims), and international trade (United States Court of International Trade)."
"The federal district court is the starting point for any case arising under federal statutes, the Constitution, or treaties. This type of jurisdiction is called 'original jurisdiction.'"
Under 28 USC §1331:
"The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States."
So, for all the MAGA cultists, the JUDICIAL BRANCH - ie, the Courts - has every legal right to block and/or rule against the President of the United States as long as it can be proven and/or determined that a presidential act violates our Constitution.
Problem is, since @realDonaldTrump nor Republicans DO NOT control the judicial branch of government, they will say ANYTHING to discredit it, to raise doubts in it, and to invalidate it just to make it SEEM as if the judicial branch is operating outside their Constitutionally given powers.
The Judicial branch is well within their Constitutional rights.
These people will fabricate lies, spread conspiracy theories, and call into question all these Judges and their rulings. But, mark my words, they will NOT have proof, evidence, nor facts of any wrong doing nor bias.
Three co-equal branches of government means that not one branch controls the other two, nor does one branch have more power than the other two. This is called separation of powers.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!
