Lawfare vs. the Law: How Activists Undermine Trump’s Authority
Commentary
July 28, 2025

By Chris Hajec

As soon as President Trump swept into power a second time, riding a wave of popular support for border security and deportation of illegal aliens, a legion of activists was deployed across the country.

Organized into innumerable groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the ominous-sounding Make the Road New York, the anti-borders mission was urgent: Mr. Trump must be stopped through all-out lawfare in the courts.

The lawsuits came as fast as the executive orders.

How Activists Undermine Trump’s Authority
 

Two comments:

1.  If they are undermining Trump's authority, it means the courts are undermining the Constitution.

2.  Why do we need an elected congress when the courts are actually running the country?
