SCOTUS Oral Argument In Nationwide Injunction Case Illustrates Courts’ Coup Against Trump

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Thursday in three cases concerning challenges to President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order. The question before the high court was not, however, the constitutionality of the EO, but rather whether the lower courts had authority to issue injunctions on a nationwide basis to bar implementation of an EO. You would be hard pressed to know that, though, from the justices’ questions — the overwhelming number of which focused instead on how to stop Trump.

“So, as far as I see it, this order violates four Supreme Court precedents,” Justice Sotomayor declared early in the argument, referring to the Trump Administration’s EO on birthright citizenship. “And you are claiming that not just the Supreme Court — that both the Supreme Court and no lower court can stop an executive from — universally from violating that holding — those holdings by this Court,” Justice Sotomayor further charged. “[W]hy should we permit those countless others to be subject to what we think is an unlawful executive action,” the justice pushed, when a nationwide injunction could immediately remedy the executive branch’s unlawful action.

Justice Kagan likewise framed the question for the Court as how to promptly halt the implementation of a president’s EO which is “dead wrong” on the law. “[E]very court has ruled against you” on the birthright citizenship question, she intoned to Solicitor General D. John Sauer. 

“If one thinks — and, you know, look, there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions, but I think that the question that this case presents is that if one thinks that it’s quite clear that the EO is illegal, how does one get to that result in what time frame on your set of rules without the possibility of a nationwide injunction?” Justice Kagan further questioned the Trump Administration.

Those excerpts were but a few exchanges during the nearly three-hour hearing, with Justices Sotomayor and Kagan monopolizing much of last week’s oral argument with their questions focused solely on a solution: In effect, how do the courts expeditiously stop Trump, other than with a nationwide injunction? In positing this question, Justice Kagan even acknowledged “there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions . . . ”

From a legal perspective, the two liberal justices have it entirely backwards: The legal question for the justices was not how do courts accomplish their goal of stopping Trump without nationwide injunctions, but rather, do courts have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions?

NIH Could Be Directed To STUDY ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’

Legislation has been introduced to direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the psychological and social roots of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.

Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson has presented the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Research Act of 2025, intended to shed light on what has been a serious cultural affliction. 

Described as an “intense, irrational hysteria” triggered by the mere mention of President Trump, TDS has become a catch-all for the unhinged reactions of his critics— whether it comes in the form of spittle-flecked blue hair rants, protest effigies, or social media meltdowns.

Co-sponsored by Alabama Rep. Barry Moore, the research will look to explain why leftists lose their collective minds at the sight of a red hat.

From Schumer’s ‘Whirlwind’ Threat To Comey’s ‘8647,’ Assassination Prep Is The Left’s MO

Former FBI Director James Comey appeared to call for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday, but his outburst is just one in a long line of far-left lunatics whose extreme rhetoric has laid the groundwork for violence — and assassination attempts — against conservative political figures.

The social media featured a seashell arrangement of the numbers “8647” — a clear reference to the numbers “86” meaning “to get rid of,” and “47,” the presidency number of Trump’s second term in office.

The Trump administration said it was taking the threat seriously, and the dopey former FBI chief then 1) claimed that he stumbled across the message on the beach instead of make the formation himself, which is almost certainly untrue, and 2) that he genuinely had no idea that ’86’ is associated with violence — again, hard to believe.

As Ed Martin, former acting U.S. attorney for D.C., put it: “From Schumer Whirlwind to Comey 86 you get Butler or worse … their plan is killing: they are a clear and present danger.”

In 2020, then-Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, should Roe v. Wade be overturned.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind,
and you will pay the price,” Schumer bleated to a crowd of angry people in 2020.

By May of 2022, more than a month before the official decision came down, someone leaked a draft of the would-be Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that would overturn Roe.

And sure enough, by early June, there was someone apparently willing to heed Schumer’s call. A California man admitted he traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Kavanaugh’s Montgomery County, Maryland, home “with the intent to kill the Supreme Court Justice.” Thankfully, he never had the chance.

GOP seeks to bar James Comey from federal positions

Lawmakers on the House Republican Study Committee (RSC) have proposed a resolution that aims to block former FBI Director James Comey from ever taking a role in the federal government again because of a now-deleted social media post that read “8647.”

Republicans, including President Trump, have interpreted Comey’s post of seashells on a beach on Thursday as a call to assassinate the 47th president.

The proposed House GOP resolution “urges the relevant authorities to take every relevant action to ensure that [Comey] is never again permitted to serve as an employee of the federal government” and requests the Justice Department “conduct a full and comprehensive investigation … and release the findings of that investigation to the relevant House Committees and the public.”

Comey, 64, has denied that the Instagram post was a call for Trump’s death and clarified in a follow-up statement that he “didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.”

“It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind so I took down the post,” he wrote.

The numeral “86” is typically understood as slang for rejecting or throwing out something or someone.

But RSC Chair Rep. August Pfluger (Texas), one of the authors of the House resolution, called Comey’s social media post a “shocking betrayal of the trust once placed in him by the American people” and accused Comey of “the unthinkable: calling for violence against our Commander-in-Chief.”

“That someone who once held one of our nation’s most sacred positions of law enforcement would incite such dangerous rhetoric is not just alarming — it’s disqualifying and un-American,” Pfluger said in a statement. “This resolution demands the accountability and transparency the American people deserve, ensuring Comey never again holds a position of public trust.”

The resolution states that “Congress must take all available action to hold Director Comey accountable, preserve the rule of law, and protect our legal institutions from those that seek to sow discord and promote violence against their political opponents.”

A Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement that the agency will “vigorously investigate anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees.”

The Media Kept Rooting For A Tariff-Driven Recession. The Data Keep Disappointing Them

The propaganda press has spent the last few weeks desperately trying to convince Americans that there was an impending recession due to President Donald Trump’s pro-America agenda that included levying tariffs on countries ripping off the United States.

“Companies buying foreign products pay the tariffs imposed on them — and, as a result, face higher costs that are typically passed on to customers,” one Associated Press article read.

NBC News warned that “Trump’s new tariffs will hit lower-income households the hardest.”

CNN said, “Trump’s tariffs will be bad for you. And you, and you, and you, and you.”

Another CNN headline read: “Trump chaos has already damaged the economy. It may be too late to fix it.”

MSNBC went with an op-ed titled “Trump’s tariffs are incoherent and destructive.”

The examples are endless. But on Thursday, that narrative crumbled.

Axios, citing newly released data, reported that there are not signs “of recessionary or inflationary conditions implied by business and consumer surveys.”

The data, according to Axios, show “steady retail sales and a surprising drop in wholesale prices in April.” Data also reportedly indicate that “spending at restaurants and bars, among the few service-sector categories in the retail sales report, rose by 1.2% in April.”

Dem Rep. Shri Thanedar Faces Backlash, Embarrassment Over Trump Impeachment Push

A Democratic lawmaker’s push to impeach President Donald Trump has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle and sparked questions about his own grasp of basic facts within his district.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI), a first-term member of Congress from Michigan, announced in late April that he would introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump.

The move came without support from Democratic leadership and has quickly become a source of controversy and ridicule, even among his own party.

Thanedar’s announcement followed an earlier statement by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who had also vowed to introduce impeachment articles against President Trump by the end of April. Green, however, failed to follow through on his promise.

With Thanedar now taking the lead, the effort has failed to gain traction and has drawn quiet opposition from fellow House Democrats.

According to multiple reports, some Democratic lawmakers have privately dismissed Thanedar’s actions as unserious and potentially damaging to the party’s broader agenda.

Several Democrats are reportedly prepared to vote against the articles if they are brought to the floor, with some referring to the move as a “stunt.”

SHOCKING CLAIM: Did James Comey Not Only Hint at Trump’s Assassination — But Also Send a Sinister Message Tied to 9/11, Exactly 8,647 Days Later?

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey is under federal investigation for an Instagram post that some interpret as a call to assassinate President Donald Trump.

On Thursday, the deep state operative posted a cryptic Instagram photo of seashells arranged to spell out “86 47,” with a caption that read, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”

But patriots and truth-seekers on social media weren’t fooled, quickly decoding the sinister message: “86” — a known slang term for “to kill” or “get rid of” — paired with “47,” a clear reference to Trump, the 47th President of the United States.

Comey deleted the post after major backlash, and he updated it with an unbelievable comment.

So Comey expects the public to believe that he, a former FBI Director, did not know the meaning of “86.”

The Secret Service, along with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, is now investigating the matter.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t mince words, blasting Comey on X: “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of @POTUS Trump. DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.”

Even Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett demanded action, posting, “Arrest Comey.”

Secret Service Issues Statement on Comey’s Trump Assassination Post

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi issued a weak statement on James Comey’s assassination threat against President Trump.

“We vigorously investigate anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees. We are aware of the social media posts by the former FBI Director & we take rhetoric like this very seriously. Beyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters,” Secret Service spox Anthony Guglielmi said on X.

Protectees? James Comey – THE FORMER FBI DIRECTOR – threatened the sitting President of the United States.

James Comey created a media firestorm after he posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

President Trump Speaks Out on James Comey’s Chilling Message Calling for Trump’s Assassination and On Comey Making Up an Outrageous Lie Afterward

President Trump has now spoken out about wicked former FBI Director James Comey calling for his assassination via a chilling social media post.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Comey created a media firestorm after he posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday that spelled out in seashells: “86 47”

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.

The “86” is, of course, slang for killing someone, while “47” refers to Trump, who is America’s 47th President. Yes, the former director of the FBI actually posted a message calling for someone to KILL President Trump!

And Comey’s subsequent response after finally deleting his disturbing post was also outrageous and insulting.

“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message, Comey wrote. “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down.”

What a horrible and wicked liar. Comey knew EXACTLY what he was doing!

During an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, which will air in full tonight, Trump was asked about Comey’s sick behavior and did not mince words.

Of course, Trump was not fooled by Comey’s excuse for the post. Like most intelligent Americans, he knew what Comey wanted to see happen to him.

“He knew exactly what that meant,” Trump replied. “A child knows what that meant.”

“If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant?” Trump added. “That meant assassination. And it says it loud and clear.”

’86 47′: Ex-FBI Director Comey Posts Cryptic ‘Death Threat’ Towards Trump

A recent social media update by disgraced ex-FBI Director James Comey was widely interpreted as a death threat towards President Donald Trump.

On Thursday, the disgruntled Deep Stater captioned an Instagram post, “Cool shell formation found on my beach walk,” alongside an image of shells on sand organized in the shape of the numbers, “86 47.”

“This is a call for the assassination of President Trump by the former FBI Director!” warned Trump insider Laura Loomer, with many others making the same interpretation.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) alerted FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino that Comey “is calling for President Trump to be eliminated.”

“’86’ is a term used by Antifa militants and street gangs meaning ‘kiII,’” noted journalist Nick Sortor.
