On Tuesday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about the federal judges who seem to think it is their job to run the country.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

On March 7, I argued<\/a> in The Federalist that President Donald Trump should ignore a Supreme Court that would allow lower courts to refuse to uphold the Constitution and instead encroach on executive authority. Recent new encroachments prove my point. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has blocked<\/a> the EPA from terminating $14 billion in climate grants awarded by the Biden administration, funds now sitting in a Citibank account. Judge Ana Reyes has ordered<\/a> the military not to enforce Trump\u2019s ban on trans-identifying service members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These rulings are not mere disagreements, as Chief Justice John Roberts claimed<\/a> last week when he rejected Trump\u2019s call to impeach a judge who ruled against his deportation policy. They are direct assaults on the president\u2019s constitutional power. I urged Trump to defy such orders then, and I stand by that now \u2014 Trump must confront the courts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Jan. 20, a pattern of politically motivated judicial overreach has emerged. Chutkan\u2019s decision overrides Trump\u2019s executive authority to redirect the EPA, preserving Biden-era spending. Reyes\u2019 ruling interferes with his control over military policy, a domain the Constitution assigns to the president and the president alone. In February, a Rhode Island judge forced<\/a> the release of frozen federal funds, and multiple courts blocked<\/a> Trump\u2019s efforts to end funding for so-called \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d for minors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These single district judges, often appointed by past Democrat administrations, issue nationwide injunctions that halt the president\u2019s agenda. This is not judicial review \u2014 it is judicial governance. Roberts\u2019 call for \u201cnormal appellate review\u201d ignores the reality: Unelected judges are hijacking executive policies in the name of judicial review, and while appeals wind through the courts, executive action stalls, sometimes for years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is simply a continuation of the lawfare that has been directed at President Trump since he declared that he was running for President. It is amazing that the judge who is complaining about flying criminals who are here illegally out of the country never said a word when President Biden was flying illegal immigrants into cities around the country. The courts need to go back to being courts–not try to be governing bodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
