ADAM JOHNSON: What that means is that we're robbing other countries, emerging countries, 3rd world countries of their best and their brightest. And that is a terrible thing to do because you will keep them impoverished. the right thing to do would be to stop doing that.

If you need people to work in tech, things like that, they can do that in their own country.  They don't have to do that here.  Use the internet.  We all use that. There's no reason for them to be here.  --Adam Johnson

There's a reason the judicial branch is the third branch of government.  it's supposed to be the least powerful.  Now the only reason we don't require them to run for election is because they're supposed to be the least powerful, apolitical, dealing only with cases and controversies in front of them, not making public policy calls, but, of course, that's exactly what they're doing.  And we have to get rid of them.  I mean just like that we have on the immigration front, of course, we have to . . . all the illegal migrants have to go, but we've allowed a lot of legal migrants into the country who are not really culturally American.  They're not interested in actually assimilating.  They're just here to treat America as an economic zone.  But somehow they secured an H-1B, and then a green card, and they became a naturalized citizen, but they're not cultural Americans, however technical their American citizenship is.  We have to denaturalize those people and send them all home and we have to do the same with many of these judges. They're not acting as good faith legitimate judges and they should be impeached or removed for not serving during good behavior.

1:03.  I completely agree.  Even from the, from an empathy standpoint, right, when we talk about the denaturalizing people, when we talk about sending people back, if the argument exists, let's just take it at face value that we're bringing over the best and brightest.  What that means is that we're robbing other countries, you know, emerging countries, third world countries of their best and their brightest.  And that is a terrible thing to do because you will keep them impoverished.  You'll keep them.  So if you believe that we are bringing over the best and brightest at its face value, the right thing to do would be to stop doing that. If you need people to work in tech, things like that, they can do that in their own country.  They don't have to do that here.  Use the internet.  We all use that. There's no reason for them to be here.

1:42.  The way I like to put it is when we import these people, we're actually making both countries dumber.  So, I mean the average IQ in America is about 100, right?  The average IQ in India is about 75, which is prethity grim.  I mean mentally retarded is 75.  And you take an Indian person with a 90 IQ and you bring him to America, well you've made America dumber because you're lowering our average below 100, and you've made India dumber because you've actually taken one of their brighter citizens.  And no one needs bright Indians more than India.  I mean if you've ever been there, it's a train wreck.

2:14.  Absolutely.  I mean that is the message that I really do think that sending people back is a good cause. I think it is a good cause for those countries if you truly are someone who is altruistic, you should consider that.  Like you are keeping these countries impoverished by keeping them here.  And, you know, I don't think that what they're adding is a net benefit to our country.  I've heard arguments where, you know, we need people who can work in data centers who understand these things.  We need people to fill up our colleges. But again the . . . it's kind of like Florida schools, right?  Would we have to do things like having, you know, students that come into our migrant worker have to learn a second language, they bringing their kids with them.  Their kids also have to learn a second language. You are putting the rest of the classes, the ESL classes, like at a slower rate of education, which means that our kids are . . . our actual citizens, children, are not getting an education they deserve because they're being slowed by the influx of migrants that are here as well.  It is completely altruistic to say that we need to just cut off the faucet.  We need to get our country under control.  Send them all back and maybe we can redress the issue in 50 years when we've passed through two more generations that speak out against communism and get our school education back where it's supposed to be. 

ANDREW BRANCA: Justice Brett Kavanaugh — joined by Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — argued that the plain meaning of “regulate importation” absolutely includes tariffs. And Trump immediately pivoted to Section 232, Section 301, and Section 122 authority — imposing a new 10% global tariff.

The Supreme Court (6–3) just ruled that President Trump lacks authority under the IEEPA to impose certain tariffs. Chief Justice John Roberts joined by Gorsuch and Barrett invoked the “Major Questions Doctrine.” But here’s what the headlines won’t tell you: Justice Brett Kavanaugh — joined by Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — argued that the plain meaning of “regulate importation” absolutely includes tariffs. And Trump immediately pivoted to Section 232, Section 301, and Section 122 authority — imposing a new 10% global tariff. This isn’t the end of the tariff fight. It may be the beginning of a stronger one.

Separation of powers showdown incoming.
