Another Belligerent Judge on Track for a SCOTUS Slapdown
Kevin McCullough
Once again, a bench-warmer in a black robe thinks he runs the country.
This week, federal judge Jamal Whitehead ordered the Trump administration to immediately begin resettling over 12,000 migrants whose admission was paused due to executive decisions tied to national interest. Let’s pause here. A judge—not elected, not accountable to voters, and certainly not the Commander-in-Chief—thinks he can dictate immigration policy from the comfort of his climate-controlled courtroom.
This isn’t judicial review. This is judicial mutiny.
According to the Constitution (you know, the document federal judges pretend to uphold), Article II vests executive power in the president—not in the whims of D.C. or Seattle-based activist judges. Immigration, in particular, has long been understood to fall within the purview of the executive branch. Why? Because immigration isn't just a humanitarian question—it’s a national security issue. It’s about who enters, who stays, and who potentially harms American citizens. That is not a question for the courts to micromanage.
But here we are again.
