Infected by Unconstitutional Animus

There are dozens of court cases against Trump administration policies, if not hundreds. Judges have been getting bolder in trying to obstruct.

Here is a typical order, blocking Trump from deporting aliens from Venezuela and Haiti:

Plaintiffs assert, inter alia, that the decision to terminate (like the decision to vacate) was infected by unconstitutional animus.

No, there is nothing in the US Constitution about animus. It is all made up.

You may hear Democrats complaining about Rule of Law. The complaints should be directed at any judge using the word animus.

The argument goes like this. Trump says alien criminal gang members are bad for America, and should be deported if they have no right to stay. That is, they do not qualify as immigrants.

So leftist lawyers rush into court saying that Trump has animus towards alien criminal gang members, and therefore his orders are unconstitutional.

Sounds crazy, I know, but a number of federal judges have accepted this argument. The US Supreme Court accepted a similar argument, when it ruled that couples could claim benefits under federal law as if they were same-sex married. I do not think that it has made any other animus rulings.
