West Wing Reads ‘Supreme Court Decision is Victory for All’

‘Supreme Court Decision is Victory for All’  “The Supreme Court’s decision late Wednesday allowing the Trump administration to implement its policy making it harder for migrants to qualify for asylum in the U.S. is a victory not just for President Trump, but more importantly for the American people and for the rule of law,” National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd writes. “The high court ruling is a matter of common sense. Asylum is meant for relief for persecution – not for the purpose of picking a country solely because it is more desirable and can provide migrants with better-paying jobs and a higher standard of living.” The ruling will allow President Trump to reduce illegal immigration drastically—“something the vast majority of U.S. citizens want,” Judd says.

Even The Washington Post’s liberal editorial board agrees that Democrats—mainly House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)—need to approve President Trump’s trade deal with Canada and Mexico, the USMCA. “It’s better not to gamble with people’s jobs and income, even for an understandable political reason, unless overriding substantive policy concerns justify it. They don’t.” “The U.S. Senate confirmed President Trump’s 150th judicial nominee Wednesday, helping to fulfill the president’s campaign promise to remake the federal bench with a conservative bent,” Alex Swoyer reports for The Washington Times. The count: 105 lower federal court judges, 43 circuit court nominees, and two Supreme Court Justices. “Economic security is national security. There may be no better symbol of this key guiding principle of the Trump administration than the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle now in full production by Oshkosh Defense in Wisconsin,” White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro writes in Madison.com. President Trump’s economic nationalism “is now paying off for working families across the country.” “Here’s some advice for the media covering President Trump: If you don’t want to be accused of reporting fake news, don’t report fake news,” Marc Thiessen writes in The Washington Post. This week, CNN falsely reported that a highly placed U.S. intelligence source inside Russia was pulled out, partly based on concerns that President Trump mishandled classified information. Turns out, “the decision to extract the source was first made before Trump took office, and the reason was mishandling of classified intelligence not by Trump but by the Obama administration.” Oops.
