Leftist judges (again) went on a rampage today
American Thinker ^ | 24 Apr, 2025 | Andrea Widburg

During Trump’s first term, the Democrats had two major arrows in their quiver: The Russia Hoax and lawfare. When they weren’t falsely accusing him of being a Russian asset, they were using the courts to prevent him from acting. By doing so, they managed to hamstring almost all of his domestic actions. This time around, while the Russia Hoax is gone, we’re seeing lawfare on steroids, so much so that we can reasonably say that we’re living in a “kritarchy” (i.e., rule by judges). This is not what our Constitution intended.

In just the last 24 hours, judges have held that:

- People who arrived in America illegally as unaccompanied minors (meaning they’re still here illegally) cannot be deported as illegal alien gang members with what Stephen Miller calls “infinity due process.”

- Because states have control over their elections, which are limited under the Constitution to legal citizens, the federal government cannot require voters to prove that they are citizens.

- Trump cannot stop funds from going to sanctuary cities that blatantly violate federal immigration laws.

- Trump may not put federal grants and contracts on hold when schools and colleges discriminate against people based on race under the rubric of DEI programs.

- Trump must reinstate the leftist-controlled Voice of America and rehire all the employees.

In the weeks leading up to these last four rulings, the courts have consistently held that Trump may not undo any of the Obama or Biden Executive Orders, despite Trump having the same constitutional powers. Judges are following an unwritten new policy that Adrian Vermuele states succinctly:

Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine A number of judges have seemingly adopted a constitutional meta-principle: what a past President did, President Trump may not undo

FOIA request the case files on the rulings, to include all phone, electronic, written, and email discussions prompting the judges to go so insane.

Maybe it's time to make being a judge a dangerous occupation.

If I were a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE I would be royally pissed off at these Podunk District and Appellate judges.

They are essentially USURPING THE POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT for themselves.

The SCOTUS is the ONLY COURT WITH NATIONWIDE AUTHORITY.

How long before The Honorable Circuit Judge Cornhole in Stumpwater, Oregon decides that he can issue a nationwide injunction on whatever he wants?

This is just like those Imams in various Muslim countries that issue Fatwas on anything and everything and supposed it’s effective all over the world!.........................

The USSC allows it because the majority of them disagree with what Trump is trying to do.

Soon the judges will rule that the president isn’t allowed to sign or veto legislation, appoint ambassadors, or issue orders to the military.

The longer nothing is done about it, the longer the nonsense will continue. Really not interested in spending the next 3.75 years or so like this.

It will have to get significantly worse before a plurality of Americans are willing to do what is necessary to fix this problem, which is to re-establish Federalism and undo what Woodrow Wilson and FDR did to our Government , but not even Trump is willing to eliminate Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid , which is the foundation upon which the Deep State Swamp is built.

I am convinced this is coordinated. The whole whack a mole nature of it says it must be. The contempt these scumbags have for the will of the people is just disgusting.
