If Rogue Judges Keep Thwarting The People’s Will, Congress Should Abolish Judgeships
Mike Davis
Since President Trump returned to the White House, activist judges — mostly from deep-blue strongholds like California, D.C., and Massachusetts — have lined up to sabotage his agenda.
These judges have thrown out wave after wave of temporary restraining orders and nationwide injunctions to block his key initiatives: shutting down toxic DEI programs, deporting dangerous criminal illegal aliens, and slashing wasteful foreign aid.
One example? The Biden administration handed out taxpayer dollars to bankroll a transgender opera in Colombia. That’s the kind of nonsense the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is trying to kill, but leftist judges won’t even let them access the data they need to clean house.
This isn’t just judicial overreach. It’s sabotage. The lower courts have become a shadow government, grinding the gears of executive action to a halt, not because the law demands it, but because the ideology of the judge demands it. Temporary restraining orders can hold up presidential action for weeks. And the worst offenders aren’t even trying to hide their motives. They issue nationwide injunctions to block federal policy with the stroke of a pen. A single judge in Rhode Island now has more power over Trump’s immigration agenda than the people’s elected commander-in-chief. That is not how a constitutional republic is supposed to work.
