The Constitution provides that the federal judiciary determines what is the law in America, after it is passed by Congress and signed by a president.
It is the president who is given the authority to run the Executive Branch, make national policy and determine international policy.
Yet since President Donald Trump look office in January, dozens of judges have assumed the role of the president, determining what should be national and international policy, insisting that they can control events, even jetliners, that are not even in America.
They have decided against removing terrorists from America, against cutting jobs that the bureaucrats added to their legal duties, ordered billions of dollars of tax money handed out to foreigners, and more.
Trump, whose agenda to eliminate waste, fraud and corruption across the American government has been successful so far at eliminating thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in tax spending, now has lost patience.
He's warning that those judges, pursuing their own political ideologies with their court rulings that included nationwide injunctions, purporting to control, from a district judge's gavel, an entire nation, are actually a threat to the existence of the United States.
That would put it just beyond the "constitutional crisis" that many observers have called the rogue activism by judges.
"Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country!" Trump warns on social media.
"These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings."
He continued, "Lawyers endlessly search the United States for these Judges, and file lawsuits as quickly as they find them. It is then the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these 'Orders' overturned. The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks.
"Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE. It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE.
"STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!"
It is the Federalist that confirmed in a report "Rogue judges are turning judicial review into judicial rule."
"President Donald Trump made headlines this week by continuing deportation flights of illegal immigrants, including members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, despite a federal judge's ruling that attempted to halt the practice," the report said. "U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, issued an order barring the administration from carrying out deportations to El Salvador. The White House called the decision 'lawless' and said the order was moot because the flights had already left and crossed into international waters. It has stopped further such flights for now."
Trump repeatedly has been attacked by leftists in the judiciary for doing his Executive Branch responsibilities. "As an attack on the rule of law," the report said.
"But the real assault is coming from the courts themselves. For too long, judges have operated under the assumption that their authority is limitless, that elected officials must bow to their rulings no matter how far they stray from the Constitution. Boasberg's ruling is not judicial review, but judicial rule — a clear case of a court attempting to override a core executive power in the name of politics."
The report warns that courts have become "de facto rulers in black robes. The Constitution and Congress grant courts the authority to review executive actions, but not to dictate governance. When judges take issue with the legitimate exercise of executive power, they don't defend democracy — they undermine it," the report warned.
It explained, "Boasberg's ruling is just the latest example of a judge substituting his own political preferences for executive decision-making. Immigration enforcement is a core constitutional power of the executive branch. The president has the legal and constitutional authority to direct deportations and manage foreign relations. A district court judge does not."
Other subjects on which judges have attacked Trump for doing his duty include birthright citizenship, ending taxpayer money for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, managing the federal workforce and more.
"When a judge blocks a policy because he personally opposes it, rather than because it violates the Constitution, he is no longer functioning as a neutral arbiter. That's exactly what Judge Ana Reyes did when she turned a courtroom into a political spectacle, using a hearing on Trump's military readiness executive order to mock the government's legal arguments and ridicule a Department of Justice attorney's religious beliefs. Instead of engaging in legal analysis, she signaled her disdain for the administration's policy positions in open court. Judges like Boasberg and Reyes aren't interpreting the law — they're rewriting it."
The report noted, too, that the lower courts are so engrossed in their political ideologies that they have ignored a warning from the Supreme Court that they "do not have the authority to micromanage national security decisions made by the executive."
"The real threat to democracy isn't an executive who enforces the law against a judge's wishes. It's a judiciary that believes it alone has the right to decide what the law is," the report found.
