Democrats lost in the 2024 election. In a big way. They lost, of course, the White House, and the power to run all executive branch agencies and departments. They lost the majority in the Senate, where Chuck Schumer now is relegated to holding news conferences, claiming to want to find government "corruption" and such. And they left the GOP majority intact in the U.S. House.
So now they are left to relying on leftist and activist judges installed by Joe Biden or Barack Obama in his first two terms in the White House, to try to hold back President Donald Trump's wave of transparency, cost-cutting and efficiency.
A commentary at the Federalist explains to what level the Democrats have been reduced.
"What's happening right now is that Democrats, having been thrown out of power by American voters in a landslide victory for Trump, have decided they're going to deploy a widely-used tactic from Trump's first term to thwart the president's agenda: use the federal judiciary. Under the false pretext that the lower federal courts are part of a 'coequal branch of government' with the executive, they're aiming to shut down Trump's reform efforts with a fusillade of preliminary injunctions."
A top legal expert says the scheme ultimately will collapse, but the nature of American government means that will take some time.
The Federalist noted the "dozens" of lawsuits from Democrat attorneys general and "various left-wing groups."
They choose their venues, so that the cases are brought before "rabidly anti-Trump activist judges."
In just the past few days eight different judges have created blockades for portions of Trump's work.
"Federal judges in Democrat-majority districts have issued preliminary injunctions blocking Trump's executive actions to end birthright citizenship, reform and downsize the United States Agency for International Development, and offer buyouts to federal bureaucrats. A federal judge this past weekend blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and all other political appointees in the Trump administration — including the Treasury secretary and his deputies — from accessing payment data at the Treasury Department," the report noted.
One even radically insisted that federal inmates had to be housed with other inmates of the sex they claim to be, not the sex they are, a component on Biden's transgender ideologies.
The result is "a kind of judicial coup against the sitting president," the report said.
"It's a simple enough tactic. All Democrats have to do is shop for a venue to find the most activist, rabidly anti-Trump federal judges in the country, file their lawsuits, and wait for the injunctions to come raining down," the report said.
There are problems, in that American voters chose Trump's campaign in the election specifically to clean up government corruption, and federal judges "have no actual authority to do this."
"They can't decide on their own who the president can talk to or what data he can access. They can't bind the president at all. According to the U.S. Constitution they're 'inferior' courts and therefore don't have any authority over the executive branch. Yes, the three branches of the federal government are coequal, but the only part of the federal judiciary that's equal to the presidency is the Supreme Court, not all the federal district courts scattered across the country," the report said.
The Supreme Court, in fact, already has undermine the Democrats' concept that any judge anywhere can issue an order affecting the entire nation.
