During an appearance on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures," Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow addressed the phenomenon of Democrat-tied judges blocking President Donald Trump's agenda, calling it a "national disgrace" and saying the rules regarding "judge-shopping" need to change.
Host Maria Bartiromo asked Marlow whether it was a coincidence that Federal Judge James Boasberg has gotten four cases involving the president.
Marlow answered, “Of course not. It’s not a coincidence, Maria, what’s going on is judge shopping. This is a practice that’s been in play since 1988 when Congress changed laws so that you don’t have to have any connection to the jurisdiction where you’re filing cases."
He called the numerous cases against Trump and the administration seeking injunctions to stop their actions an attempted "judicial coup."
"The Democrats have figured this out, their lawfare machine which is very well funded, very well organized, and they’re targeting specific judges to try to have a judicial coup against the President of the United States.”
So far, judges have blocked Trump's executive actions 15 times on a nationwide level, more than during the entire administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Judges have ordered planes carrying imprisoned illegal immigrants to turn around in the sky, prevented Trump from cutting staff or firing people at various government agencies, and stopped various budget cuts suggested by DOGE but implemented by agency heads.
“It is now the point now where Donald Trump, if he wants an executive action, he needs unanimous consent from 700 odd judges essentially," Marlow pointed out.
In other words, all Democrats need to do is find a sympathetic judge on the opposite side of the aisle politically, and they can block whatever Trump is trying to do with an emergency injunction, then tie up the action for months or years while the lawsuit plays out.
"This is tyranny, but unfortunately there’s no quick way to stop it," Marlow said.
He suggested a rules change that would disallow judge-shopping or block injunctions from being effective nation-wide rather than only in the jurisdiction where the case was filed.
"We need to change these rules right away. They’re targeting these judges and it’s blocking just about every element of the agenda from what DOGE is doing to DEI to rolling back some of the trans stuff to deregulation to trying to deport illegally child molesters," he concluded. "They can’t do any of it unless all these judges sign on to it which they’re not."
Instead of ruling fairly, the judges are bending to the will of partisans and using the law to do things it was not intended to do, like thwart the will of the voters by blocking the agenda of the president they elected.
"They’re Democratic-tied. You all know what’s going on. This is truly a national disgrace,” Marlow said.
