   Lawless Federal Judges Are Winning Their War against the Trump Administration

Sunday’s injunction against Trump-administration religious-freedom rules is nothing but judicial #Resistance.

It’s déjà vu all over again. A federal judge has blocked a lawful Trump-administration policy, essentially enshrining the Obama administration’s policy choices in social-justice granite. The practical result is a judicial equivalent of a one-way ratchet. The pattern is clear:

Step One: The Obama administration uses its executive power to implement a progressive policy (such as DACA or the contraceptive mandate).

Step Two: The Trump administration uses its executive power to repeal the Obama-administration action and implement a more conservative policy.

Step Three: Progressive plaintiffs file suit in a friendly jurisdiction using dubious legal theories to seek a broad injunction against the Trump-administration action.

Step Four: Progressive judges join the #Resistance, write obviously flawed opinions, and seek to freeze Obama’s policies in legal amber.

There is zero chance that they will have any impact on a Trump decision to implement emergency powers to build a wall.

Only Congress can do something about that.

Set and Match to Trump.
