Segment Topics:
Jake and the Judge;
Has the Constitution failed miserably as an instrument of limitation on the federal government?
Audio Intro: Courtesy: The Tenth Amendment Center
Judge Andrew Napolitano: “The Constitution has failed miserably as an instrument of limitation on the federal government.”
- The U.S. Constitution was crafted in 1787 both to establish a new central government and to limit it. Some of the limitations are direct, some are subtle, and some are hidden. The chief instrument of limitation is the separation of powers, the brainchild of James Madison.
- The late Justice Antonin Scalia called the separation of powers the most unique and freedom-enhancing aspect of the document. Madison himself would later argue that he intentionally crafted the separation so as to enhance friction and even jealousy among the three branches of government, thereby inducing fidelity to its core values, as well as transparency and accountability in the popular branches.
- Thus, Congress writes the laws, the president enforces the laws, and the judiciary interprets the Constitution and the laws. Congress raises taxes and declares war. The president appoints judges and wages war. The judiciary assures that neither Congress nor the president interferes with personal liberty.
- Congress and the president are answerable to the voters. The life-tenured judiciary is not. The purpose of an independent judiciary is to be the anti-democratic branch of the government. Its duty is not to reflect the popular will, but rather to protect life, liberty and property from the whims of the popular branches.
- In the post-World War II era, Congress has attempted to give away some of its powers to the presidency. For example, even though the Constitution declares that only Congress can spend federal dollars, it has often appropriated funds for the president to spend as he sees fit -- and presidents in turn have often delegated those spending decisions to folks whom they have hired.
-
- As well, modern presidents have started dozens of wars without congressional declarations of war, and Congress has looked the other way. Congress even permits the president to raise taxes -- so long as he calls them tariffs -- and declare an emergency of his own making.
- Can the Congress constitutionally give away some of its powers to the president? The short answer is: NO.

- Trump imposes new tariffs on cheap Chinese goods sold by companies like Temu and Shein. (NY Post)
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday closing a trade loophole on cheap goods from China that were previously exempt from tariffs.
- Trump, 78, argued that the so-called “de minimus” exception allowed shippers from the People’s Republic and Hong Kong to “hide illicit substances” in packaging and products.
- “These shippers often avoid detection due to administration of the de minimis exemption,” the president wrote, claiming that duty-free exports from China “play a significant role in the synthetic opioid crisis in the United States.”
- The new tariff applies to goods valued at less than $800 imported from China and Hong Kong.
- Online Chinese retailers such as Temu and Sheinhave used the loophole to sell ultra-low-cost items to US consumers and could be hit hard by the new tariffs. They undercut Amazon!

- (The Gateway Pundit)

And a few days ago:
- Brown professor deported to Lebanon after allegedly attending Hezbollah funeral, government says
- Rasha Alawieh was detained at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday and sent back to Lebanon despite having a valid visa.
- The leader of pro-Palestine protests on Columbia University’s campus had his legal fight to stay in the country transferred to New Jersey federal court after a federal judge in New York said Wednesday he doesn’t have jurisdiction over the case.
- Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident of the United States who was arrested by federal immigration agents on March 8 in New York City and now faces deportation, had filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus — that’s a challenge to the constitutionality of his detention — in New York federal court. Khalil’s petition was challenged by the federal government, which asked the judge overseeing the case to dismiss it or move the case to Louisiana, where Khalil is currently detained. (New Jersey Monitor)
- Perilous Times for Personal Liberty:
- Judge Andrew Napolitano
The history of human freedom is long, tortuous and not gratifying. It consists essentially in governments trampling the laws enacted to restrain them. It is the profound clash of natural personal freedom and the commands of the state backed by force. The constitutions of totalitarian countries are papered over with restraints on the state, but the restraints are toothless. The state does what it wants. It doesn’t take rights seriously.
In liberal democracies -- with the separation of powers, and checks and balances -- the state is theoretically restrained. Yet often, there, too, the restraints are paper tigers. There, too, HERE, too, the state does not take rights seriously.
Thomas Jefferson argued that in the long march of history, personal liberty shrinks and state power grows. He famously believed that only a revolution can bring about a proper reset. All of this history and theory came into sharp focus in the past two weeks when the feds arrested a Syrian graduate student in his student housing at Columbia University in New York City and shipped him to an immigration jail in Louisiana. He is married to a native-born American, they are expecting a child in April, and he is a permanent resident alien.
Last week, the federal government arrested a Lebanese physician at Logan Airport in Boston. She is a professor of medicine at Brown University, and she, too, is a permanent resident alien. The student was charged with immigration violations. The physician was summarily deported to Paris and then to her native Lebanon. The charging documents filed against the student allege no crime or personal misbehavior, point to no statutory violations, and offer no evidence of the student’s danger to persons or property or the government. The papers claim that Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes that this student’s presence on the Columbia campus -- given his outspoken support for a Palestinian state, the existence of which has been the public policy of the U.S. for generations -- is a material impediment to the execution of American foreign policy.

- Jury Finds Greenpeace Liable for Hundreds of Millions in Damages!
- A lawsuit by pipeline giant Energy Transfer claimed Greenpeace had played a major, costly role in protests nearly a decade ago. Greenpeace has said a loss could put it out of business.
Reporting from Mandan, N.D. (NY Times) March 19, 2025, 3:45 p.m. ET
- A North Dakota jury on Wednesday awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the Texas-based pipeline company Energy Transfer, which had sued Greenpeace over its role in protests nearly a decade ago against its Dakota Access Pipeline.
- The verdict was a major blow to the storied environmental organization. Greenpeace had maintained that it played only a minor part in demonstrations led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. It had portrayed the lawsuit as an attempt to stifle oil-industry critics, but a jury apparently disagreed.
- The nine-person jury in the Morton County courthouse in Mandan, N.D., about 45 minutes north of where the protests took place, returned the verdict after roughly two days of deliberating.
- Energy Transfer’s co-founder and board chairman, Kelcy Warren, an ally and donor to President Trump, had been outspoken in his criticism of the protesters and had the last word during plaintiffs’ closing arguments on Monday, when his lawyers played comments, he made in a video deposition for the jurors.
- “We’ve got to stand up for ourselves,” Mr. Warren said, arguing that protesters had created “a total false narrative” about his company. “It was time to fight back.”
- Energy Transfer is one of the largest pipeline companies in the country. The protests over its construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline drew national attention and thousands of people to months long encampments in 2016 and 2017.
- BREAKING: Corrupt Obama Judge Chutkan Temporarily Blocks Lee Zeldin from Clawing Back $20 Billion From Biden EPA Slush Fund!
