Congress is back in session after hanging out at Bohemian Grove or whatever they do during “summer vacation” when they’re not serving the people. While slacking off is built into their schedule, the rogue courts never rest. The past month has seen an avalanche of judicial rulings that are difficult to even keep up with. If Republicans in Congress don’t take swift and decisive action, the momentum of Donald Trump’s historic second term will be stalled before the year is up.
Let’s consider the laundry list of anti-Trump rulings we’ve seen in just the past few weeks.
The Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals has ruled that President Trump cannot invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the foreign terrorist group Tren de Aragua from Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Alien Enemies Act is one of our nation’s oldest laws. No court has ever had a problem with this law until Donald Trump tried to enforce it.
In another case, the Trump administration has located 76 of the Guatemalan children who were allegedly kidnapped and trafficked into the United States by Save the Children. For those who don’t remember, Jill Biden served as the board chair of Save the Children from 2017 to 2021. When the Attorney General of Guatemala launched an investigation into child trafficking allegations against Save the Children, the Biden administration threatened sanctions unless the investigation was shut down.
The parents of these 76 children are eagerly awaiting their return to Guatemala. But DC District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan (actual name) has blocked the Trump administration from sending them home. Sooknanan is a foreign national who is somehow on the DC Circuit Court, interpreting US laws and the Constitution. She’s ruled that kidnapped children transported across multiple international borders cannot be returned to their families when Donald Trump wants to do it.
Just this week, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that President Trump cannot fire a commissioner from the Federal Trade Commission. The chief executive is somehow not allowed to carry out executive actions.
The US District Court in San Francisco this week ruled that the president cannot use National Guard troops in a support role for deportation operations in California. In a 2-1 decision, the court ruled that President Trump had “willfully” violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military in law enforcement actions.
The troops are in Los Angeles in an administrative support role. When an illegal alien is arrested, the ICE agents who captured him are tied up in mountains of paperwork for the rest of the day, instead of out making more arrests. The National Guard members are relieving this burden by filling out paperwork, fingerprinting the illegals, and handling the HR drudgery of the process.
So, President Trump has “willfully” violated Posse Comitatus by sending in… administrative clerks?
Worst. Tyrant. Ever.
At last count, the courts have now issued 91 injunctions against the Trump administration. In the entire 20th century, there were only 27 court injunctions imposed against the actions of 17 presidents. Our system of checks and balances is currently broken.
That can be restored by Congress. The US Supreme Court is a creation of the Constitution. All the lower federal courts are creations of Congress. It’s time for Republicans in Congress to reassert their authority over these rogue courts. Start by abolishing the courts that are issuing some of the most obnoxious rulings against the president’s popular initiatives. Impeaching a few of these judges and making public spectacles of them would also go a long way toward restoring sanity.
The Democrat Party has kidnapped our judicial system. They control the colleges, the law schools, the state bars issuing law licenses, and the entire pipeline to judgeships. How else could you explain a foreign national like Sparkle Sooknanan becoming a judge in the United States?
Donald Trump won the popular vote last year and swept all seven swing states. He ran on a promise to fulfill a laundry list of 80-20 issues that the American people support. If unelected judges from foreign countries can thwart his efforts, which are strongly backed by the will of the people, we no longer have a democracy, a president, or a country.
We elected Donald Trump, not Judge Sparkle. The top priority of Congress now that they’re back in session should be to exert their authority over the out-of-control court system.
