We live under a despotic judicial oligarchy. What will we do about it?
We have become a nation ruled by judges and it’s going to take more than Trump to set us free. Congress is complicit in this judicial coup by deferring difficult decisions to the courts and by allowing judges to rule in areas where they have no jurisdiction. We are ruled by judges because we have elected cowards.
Greenfield: America is Not a Nation Ruled by Judges
That so! Then who is making all the decisions these days?
“t trying to solve the abuse of judicial authority with judicial authority is like plugging a leak with water. Conservatives seek judicial saints who will never overstep the boundaries of their power while the left merely needs to find judges who will have no compunction about abusing their authority. “
Frightening stuff ——the Black Robe Rulers.

We are ruled by judges because we have elected LAWYERS who are cowards.
“America is Not a Nation Ruled by Judges”
Actually we are. How many times have the votes of millions of Americans been tossed because a Judge disagreed with a prop vote? Or the number of legislative decisions been canceled because of some punk like the guy in Hawaii? It will take a President to stand up and say no more to Judicial overreach once and for all. I hoped Trump would but he’s using the Judiciary to fight the Judiciary. I don’t blame him really. Trump has had the ruling class standing on his neck since the moment he won. He would need enormous politico capital to put the Judges in their place and let’s face he has very little.
Read Men in Black by Mark Levin and tremble.
Thanks for the reference——will do.

Trump should just suspend ALL immigration and hang it around their necks. Half the country wants that anyway. Why do we NEED 1mm immigrants every year, most of them turd worlders who will never get off welfare? Stop it all. Tell everyone you tried multiple times to draw the line as narrowly as possible and repeated judicial activism forces this.
Congress has abdicated its responsibility for removing lawless judges.
Apparently it is.
Judges. HowTrump can be removed from office by the DC slime
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
"A federal judge today ruled..."
They treat it like a ruling from God (when it favors THEIR goals, of course). And you have to dig to find out the political party of the faceless black-robed clown...
Congressional members are a Prima Donna class interested only in keeping their position of privilege. There are precious few who genuinely represent their constituency. Until we purge their ranks we will not see a return to constitutional representation. They prefer to accept responsibility for noting. They are perfectly happy for the Judiciary to write laws. In so doing they fail to fulfill their responsibility as law makers.
This is why our Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, devised the Separation of Powers, with appropriate checks and balances, to keep things going on an even keel.
If one ever wants to see what disasters may befall a nation that is ruled “By Judges”, just read the Bible Book that bears that name. It’s really pretty grim.
