Since President Trump’s emphatic election triumph and swearing-in, a wave of leftist U.S. District Court Judges has sought to undermine his presidency with a series of injunctions and orders.
These judges were selected by liberal presidents, ready to flout their oaths and claim judicial supremacy, thus defying the U.S. Constitution.
They have overstepped their judicial powers, which should only cover “Law and Equity” cases under the Constitution, infringing upon the President’s Executive authority.
By halting President Trump’s executive actions, such as dismantling USAID, deportations in accordance with the Alien Enemies Act, and reviewing Social Security records, these judges aim to undermine both his and America’s electoral victory.
The perceived constitutional authority for these orders dates back to the 1803 Marbury v. Madison case.
Law students learn that this case supposedly grants courts the power to judge the constitutionality of laws and issue remedies, claiming court “Supremacy” as final.
This erroneous belief places the Judicial Branch above the Executive and Legislative Branches. Similar to the Left’s “accepted science of global warming,” popularity does not equate to accuracy.
Courts lack the constitutional power to command the Executive Branch, an independent government arm, to comply with unconstitutional orders.
The Judicial Branch’s true role mirrors a baseball umpire, lacking the authority to enforce its rulings. It depends on the Executive Branch even to implement judgments.
Constitutionally, the Judicial Branch’s duty is to settle disputes based on legality and the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. Constitution, created by “We the People,” governs all branches, including the Legislature, the President, and state governors.
James Madison warned in the Federalist No. 47, “The accumulation of all powers, Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” This reflects our current state of judicial tyranny.
Congress possesses the constitutional power to counteract judicial overreach but has been negligent. To curb this overreach, Congress must exercise its authority or risk violating their oaths.
There’s no room for indecision. The Executive and Legislative Branches must fulfill their constitutional obligations or risk aiding the erosion of our Republic.
Both the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions restrict the judiciary from lawmaking and enforcing decisions.
Lawmaking is the domain of elected representatives, while enforcement lies with the Executive Branch. Without this balance, America would devolve into judicial rule, not a republic.
Thankfully, our Republic functions through distinct branches operating within their constitutional boundaries.
The Constitution for the United States of America, Article 1, establishes Congress, granting it the power to create lower courts.
Article 2 establishes the Executive Branch, permitting the removal of civil officers via impeachment and defining its grounds.
Article 3 establishes the Judicial Branch, allowing judges to serve during “good Behavior,” offering another impeachment basis.
Article 6 declares the Constitution as the supreme law, binding government officers to uphold it through oath or affirmation.
The Constitution details the powers of each branch: Congress makes laws (Article 1); the President administers laws (Article 2); courts interpret laws (Article 3). Congress alone holds the impeachment power.
This power is restrained by the requirement that the House impeach and a 2/3 Senate majority vote is needed to convict.
The President plays no role in impeachment proceedings unless being impeached, and cannot pardon impeachment cases.
Although judicial review was acknowledged at the Constitution’s inception, it lacks authority to direct the Executive Branch.
Courts cannot constitutionally compel Presidential action. As Thomas Jefferson stated, “to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions: a very dangerous doctrine indeed.”
Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution states, “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
The judiciary is not co-authorized to override Presidential executive powers.
In present circumstances, President Trump should simply dismiss unconstitutional court orders. The judiciary relies on the President to enforce its orders.
Should these orders breach the Constitution, the President, fulfilling his duty to uphold the Constitution, must disregard them.
All Americans must grasp these constitutional truths to comprehend current events. President Trump is honoring his commitments to the American people.
He must reject judicial overreach and unconstitutional orders. Our congressmen and women must also uphold their vows to protect and defend the Constitution from all threats, both foreign and domestic.
