D.C. Judge Confused Why America Doesn’t Bow to His Decree"
My oral orders don’t seem to carry much weight." frontpagemag.com

March 18, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield

Yesterday I noted that an Obama judge in D.C. had developed the novel legal theory that he was King of America.

Judge James Boasberg responded to a plea from four alleged Venezuelan gang members in Texas (who denied that they were gang members) afraid that Trump was going to deport them under the Alien Enemies Act (he didn’t) and issued an oral order commanding that planes deporting other gang members out of the country turn around (they didn’t)

The media reported this as Trump deporting gang members despite a federal judge’s order which only lacked minor things such as standing, the correct venue, and some tentative connection with the actual law.

Boasberg is back in the courtroom and threw a tantrum accusing the White House of ignoring his oral order and of scheduling the flights to get ahead of his oral order. The White House responded that it doesn’t have to follow oral orders. Kings give oral orders. In this strange American republican system, officials have to issue written documents instead of commanding, “off with his head”. Boasberg then complained that, “my oral orders don’t seem to carry much weight.”

This is understandably confusing for a D.C. judge under the impression that he runs America, and yet the waves won’t part at his word and planes don’t turn around. What’s a tyrant in black robes to do?
