Federal Judges Are Becoming A Form Of Tyranny
By Andrea Widburg
“The judge who always likes the results he reaches is a bad judge.” – Antonin Scalia
As a litigator in the uber-left San Francisco Bay Area for three decades, I routinely witnessed left-leaning judges make up the law as they went along. One went so far as to say, “I know what the law is, but I think...” What constrained them a little was the fact that it was considered humiliating to be reversed by a higher court. Today’s leftist judges no longer operate under that constraint. Their goal isn’t justice; it’s to interfere in the political process, precisely as Judge Robert Yates predicted in 1787.
Eleven months into the second Trump presidency, it’s become old news that leftist federal judges at the district court level (that is, judges appointed under Article III of the Constitution) are blocking every single administrative initiative. My guesstimate is that roughly 80% of them have been reversed at the appellate or Supreme Court level. Significantly, these reversals haven’t been over subtle legal points. They’ve come about for gross errors that first-year law students wouldn’t make.
