Okeeffe: The Federal Judiciary’s War on Trump Is Not About Protecting Us from Government Overreach

Connor O'Keeffe

So far, in his second term, Donald Trump’s biggest headaches haven’t come from the Democrats or his fellow Republicans. Nor have they come from the groups that were his biggest enemies in his first term—the media, federal bureaucrats, or the intelligence agencies. This time around, Trump’s biggest difficulties are coming from the courts. “The Resistance” … Read more

Rogue Judges won’t Stop It

Amil Imani

The American people spoke with a roar in 2024, delivering Donald Trump a mandate to unleash his America First agenda. But a cabal of rogue judges, intoxicated by their own power, dares to defy the nation’s will. These unelected, black-robed tyrants, appointed by Democrats and entrenched in their activist fiefdoms, are waging a judicial jihad to sabotage Trump’s … Read more

Democrats Want Judges To Create Laws AND Be Above Them

Ray Cardello

Attorney General Pam Bondi, like her boss, President Trump, believes if you make a promise, you keep a promise. When sworn in as AG, she promised she would treat everyone equally and that you would be held accountable if you broke the law. This week, two judges, one in Wisconsin and the other in New … Read more

The Solution To The Myth of Judicial Supremacy

Russ Payne

The President of the United States takes an oath to the Constitution of the United States; separation of powers demands the Supreme Court and the Congress do the same. The 1803 Marbury v. Madison ruling of SCOTUS , changed that, giving birth to the myth of the “living and breathing” Constitution that established  judicial Supremacy. … Read more

Accidentally PISSING Off Trump Supporters Week…

Steve MacDonald

Last week I set a horde of angry Trump supporters on my tail. I was accused of being some nutty Democrat, left-wing stooge. That’s a first, so thanks for that, box checked, and a lesson in how not to write a sentence. I was enumerating positions held by both sides concerning Trump, his EOs, swamp … Read more

The Activist Judges Who Think They Outrank the President

Amil Imani

The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the … Read more

The Judging of “Judgy” Judges [Updated]

Steve MacDonald

Note: The opening paragraphs have been edited after everyone misunderstood my meaning. It’s my fault. I hope the changes clear things up. There are likely more than two sides to this particular debate, but we’ll stick to these few to keep things in focus. One side (held by the progs, dems, libs, and marxists) is … Read more

This Court System Is Not What Our Forefathers Envisioned

Ray Cardello

When our brilliant forefathers got together nearly 250 years ago, they were a collection of the most brilliant men in the land. They not only created a document that was a blueprint for a new government and country but were able to project how that piece of paper would need to endure men and women … Read more

If You Cannot Impeach Him, Then Enjoin Him

Ray Cardello

In Trump’s first term, the Democrats enjoyed the majority position in the House of Representatives. This advantage made holding up Donald Trump’s initiatives very straightforward. They did not have to sue him in court to slow him down. They just made up reasons to Impeach the 45th President and have him spin his wheels defending … Read more

Does The ACLU Want To Be The ICLU

Ray Cardello

The Left has a problem legislating but excels at litigating. Democrats refuse to cooperate in the Trump administration’s initiatives but have gotten activist judges to impose 64 injunctions against the White House and team. The Judicial Branch of the government is tasked with interpreting the laws and ensuring that they are applied fairly and consistently. … Read more

Overdue Government “Spring Cleaning”

Jim Bowman

The term “spring cleaning” refers to a long overdue responsibility that addresses the need—in the case of our government—for a return to its constitutionally mandated size. Owning up to this duty will uproot everything that has illegally been established. This unhindered growth is a testament to the tenure of public ignorance, which has been force-fed … Read more

Judiciary Run Wild

Charles Bradley

The unparalleled electoral, political, and executive power successes of Donald Trump in eliminating the criminal bureaucracy control of Washington, D.C. has revealed a dark and alarming secret of the American governmental system: Judicial Tyranny – disrespect for the U.S. Constitution and the Rule of Law. Despite the unequivocal language of Section 1, Article II of … Read more

Yes, Virginia, There Is a ‘Constitutional Crisis’

Steve MacDonald

On September 21st, 1897, The Sun – a New York newspaper – published an editorial by Francis Pharcellus Church. In it, he assured 8-year-old Virgina O’Hanlon that there was a Santa Claus. In 1897, Philip O’Hanlon, a surgeon, was asked by his eight-year-old daughter, Virginia O’Hanlon, whether Santa Claus existed. His answer did not convince her, and Virginia … Read more

And the Demcrats have given us…..The MOST Conservative SCOTUS since 1934!

Skip

Law of Unintended Consequence is how the Democrats did it – starting with the passage of Obamacare when they owned the Presidency, the House, and the Senate by majority proof  margins. The TEA Party movement flashed into being and the pushback on the Right hasn’t stopped. With the recent capturing of all three by Republicans because of the Democrat overreach during the Obama years, we got one of its goals:

Saturday’s confirmation marks more than the dramatic conclusion to a political battle that has waged for more than three months, and instead could mark an inflection point in a philosophical war that has raged for decades. The Supreme Court has not had a conservative majority since 1934, when the New Deal took hold and the Court moved to the left, giving the federal government vast new powers over economic issues. The Court massive broadened federal powers over commerce, taxing, and federal spending.

The New Deal did turn from being a court into being a supra-legislative body and the New Deal also started the process of turning the lower part of the Judiciary to the Left as well. it also served as a bulwark for Democrats that when they lost those New Deal majorities, they could always depend on the courts to uphold its agenda (re: the decisions against Trump shutting down immigration from suspect countries).  Now that is at risk:

Do Americans Want Government by Consent of the Governed or by Judicial Tyranny?

Don

Supreme_Court_Building_at_DuskThe kind of Supreme Court Justice someone wants indicates the kind of country he or she wants.  Does one want a government that abides by the consent of the governed, as envisioned by the authors of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and laws passed by Congress, or a government controlled by a Judicial Oligarchy, five or more unelected, unaccountable, and fallible people that impose their will on the American people?

Donning a black robe doesn’t confer wisdom or divinity.  Supreme Court Justices made many bad decisions, e.g., approving slavery, “separate but equal”, and interning Japanese-Americans during WWII.  Recent decisions outrage Conservatives and Progressives, e.g., eminent domain (Kelo), Citizens United, gun control (Heller), and Obamacare.
