Dems Turn To Activist Judges To Defy Trump

7–8 minutes

What’s happening right now is that Democrats, having been thrown out of power by American voters in a landslide victory for Trump, have decided they’re going to deploy a widely-used tactic from Trump’s first term to thwart the president’s agenda: use the federal judiciary. Under the false pretext that the lower federal courts are part of a “coequal branch of government” with the executive, they’re aiming to shut down Trump’s reform efforts with a fusillade of preliminary injunctions.

In recent days dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration by Democrat attorneys general and various left-wing groups. These groups have carefully selected their venues, ensuring the lawsuits come before rabidly anti-Trump activist judges. So far, the tactic seems to be working. As of this past weekend, eight different rulings from the federal bench have temporarily halted the president’s executive orders.

Federal judges in Democrat-majority districts have issued preliminary injunctions blocking Trump’s executive actions to end birthright citizenship, reform and downsize the United States Agency for International Development, and offer buyouts to federal bureaucrats. A federal judge this past weekend blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and all other political appointees in the Trump administration — including the Treasury secretary and his deputies — from accessing payment data at the Treasury Department.

The President of the United States has ALL federal executive power under Article II of the Constitution.

Courts can stop him if he tries to steal power from other branches, like Biden did with student-loan forgiveness.

But activist judges stopping the President from exercising executive power—like auditing Treasury payments or recalling foreign-service officers—is a radical, dangerous, and unacceptable assault on the Constitution.

The appellate courts must immediately stay these lawless, ex parte TROs.

The Supreme Court must prepare itself to use the emergency docket to avert a constitutional crisis.

Congress must use its power of oversight and the purse to stop these lawless politicians in robes from subverting the will of American voters.

When courts lose their legitimacy, they lose their funding.
