A government of the judges, by the judges and for the judges.
Federal district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions are a constitutional abomination that allows the opposing party to ‘judge shop’ and empowers federal judges to overrule the president not just in local cases, but on a national level, forcing the president to run to the Supreme Court for relief.
That is not remotely the system that the Framers had in mind.
The idea of the Supreme Court overruling the president was controversial back then when applied not just to an individual case but to setting a national precedent, but the idea of a D.C. judge being able to issue a nationwide injunction was inconceivable.
The second term of the Trump administration showed us what happens when a massive activist leftist lawfare campaign coordinates with federal judges to effectively function as a shadow government.
And that means the country is no longer run by a government of elected officials with some appointed officials wielding limited powers, but that it’s the elected officials who have very limited powers, while the appointed officials, whether federal judges or bureaucrats, have virtually unlimited powers. --->READ MORE HERE
Democrats are now committed to cherry-picking judges who will thwart the will not just of Donald Trump but of the American people
It is often said that a good baseball umpire goes all but unnoticed while a bad one becomes the center of attention and anger at the ballpark. These days, this is a saying that can apply with equal accuracy to the federal judges handling the avalanche of legal challenges against the Trump administration.
What rankles Americans, and not just supporters of President Donald Trump, is how obviously the Democrats and their allies are judge shopping for exactly the umpires who will make the calls they want, seemingly, no matter what happens on the field.
The star of the game among the judges handling Trump-aligned cases this season is James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in which capacity, among other things, he ordered the administration to turn around a plane full of gang members going to El Salvador and return mid-flight.
The Trump administration declined to do so, but Boasberg did manage to delay many further deportations.
Much like Judge Juan Marchan who presided over Trump’s hush money case in New York City, Boasberg has emerged as a liberal darling, to them, a true man of the law speaking truth to power and defending the guardrails against autocracy or fascism, or whatever.
Much like Merchan, Boasberg also has an adult daughter who works for left-wing causes, in this case a pro-illegal immigration organization called Partners in Justice, which opposes both the removal of gangbangers and the congressionally approved, the anti-illegal immigrant violence Laken Riley Act.
Put bluntly, James Boasberg could have been assembled in the laboratory of a neoliberal think tank to ensure the will of voters is subject to the approval of the ideological elite. You might elect Donald Trump president, but judges will decide what he actually does.
Let’s not kid ourselves, the litigants trying to sue the Trump administration into oblivion, or at least delay its actions indefinitely, know that Boasberg is on their team.
The problem is that this is our judicial system. It's not the desert merry-go-round under a glass dome at a Jersey diner, nobody should be able to just point and say, "I’ll take that one." --->READ MORE HERE
