Elitists rarely have the temperament to understand real problems, and judges who lead with hubris are dangerous to our system.
Speaker Mike Johnson
If John Roberts doesn’t solve the national injunction crises, then he’s part of the problem. I’m, of course, referring to lone district court judges issuing universal injunctions to block the President’s Article II powers; thereby undermining key mandates from the 2024 election. Yes, a chief justice must honor constitutional constructs, but not at expense of the will of the electorate.
No question, Roberts understands the 2024 election left Democrats powerless in Washington, resulting in their constituents’ lawyers forum-shopping to find like-minded judges, who are willing to bring President Trump’s agenda to a nationwide halt. Thus, if Roberts doesn’t check this new Resistance, then he’s no less a “threat to our democracy” than Trump.
Roberts said the judiciary is no substitute for the executive: “Judges are like umpires; make sure everybody plays by the rules. It is a limited role; nobody ever went to a ballgame to see the umpire.” That “ballgame” was the 2024 election, and “everybody” includes 677 district-court judges, who must accept election consequences just like legislators and presidents do.
The problem isn’t Roberts supporting antisemitism, defiance of deportation orders, or reverse discrimination. The problem is Roberts NOT seeing the need to “work at Trump Speed” if it means limiting judicial review. If he saw the illegal alien “emergency” and government debt “crisis” from the Oval Office, then he’d know time is not on our side. America is in the middle of a national turnaround, and the Chief Justice needs to get up to speed – or be replaced!
Are you listening, John?
You don’t have to like Donald Trump to dislike how Joe Biden left our country. Look at the election results, current polls, and how Democrats are behaving. Your fellow Americans are responsible for Biden’s and the Democrat Party’s record-low approval numbers. Fact: only 19% of voters say Biden left office with the country headed in the right direction (source: Real Clear Politics).
Ask yourself why Biden’s approval hit 37% on Election Day, and Trump’s hit 54% this week (source: TCG polling average). Why did Biden leave office with record-low Democrat registrations and record-low approval on key issues. That’s 30% on immigration and 28% on the economy (source: Gallup). And admit this: Trump is aligned with voters on those issues. 66% want ALL illegal immigrants deported, and 64% want to cut federal spending (source: The Hill).
You know that America First has a mandate and momentum, because Trump-Vance won 31 states, 312 electoral votes, and 77,303,000 popular votes. Plus, from 2020 to 2024, 9.3 million votes swung from Biden-Harris to Trump-Vance, and 8.4 million votes swung from House Dems to the GOP. That was “too big to rig” (and meant the MAGA movement had added 14,400,000 voters since 2016).
You know Abrego Garcia v. Noem is not Brown v. the Board of Education, bull-rushing prisons is not peaceful assembly, and fire-bombing Teslas is not free speech. You’ve heard media “experts” pooh-pooh Trump’s economic policies and be wrong. To wit, April’s expectation-beating numbers included 177,000 new jobs, 0.8% rise in personal income, 2.1% inflation rate, and 19.8% drop in imports. It’s called intellectual dishonesty, and it should make you sick.
Like Hamas sympathizers evoking Dr. King by singing, “Whose Side Are You On?” That should anger you, because King never screamed Death To Whitey, and 84% of Americans hold unfavorable views of Hamas. You’ve read Federalist 10, in which Madison warned of “a number of citizens, who are actuated by some common passion, adversed to the aggregate interests of the community.” That’s called the tyranny of the mob, and that should make you sick too.
Put the “aggregate interests” of America first and call out the Resistance for its perversion of judicial review. Liberal Justice Kagan did as much in 2022: “It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks.” Your proclamation will be fact-based; of 64 injunctions in Trump’s first term, 59 were issued by Democrat judges, and all 14 injunctions against Biden were issued by Republican judges.
Yale Law’s Jeb Rubenfeld offers this solution; the Supreme Court can “hold that district courts can issue nationwide injunctions only if the government is violating established law. This would knock out the lion’s share of nationwide injunctions coming out of the lower courts.” Example: because there is no clearly established law regarding transgenders in the military, district judges could not rule against Trump’s so-called military trans ban (source: Wall Street Journal).
On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 against 500,000 “Biden refugees” that Trump tried to deport in March. If Roberts had a sense of emergency, 250,000 so-called refugees would already be gone. But no, Abrego Garcia’s lawyer has stalled and will stall with the aid of unelected judges whose names we should have never known.
Elsewhere, CNN reports that less than half of registered Democrats think theirs is “the party that can get things done.” C’mon, Justice Roberts, what are you waiting for – – perfection?
