Here's How the GOP Is Planning to Fight Back Against Activist Judges

President Donald Trump is not only having to face Democrats who want to stand in the way of his agenda but activist judges who are stepping on his ability to exercise the power of the presidency over the Executive Branch.

It's had some on the right calling for answers as to how to deal with the judges who want to tell the administration who they are allowed to deport and who even they can fire when it's the president who controls the Executive Branch. Trump may win some of these issues on appeal, but in the meantime, Democrats are trying to slow things down by this delaying tactic.

Republicans are now fighting back. They're planning a hearing next week on the issue.

Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital that in addition to the hearing, House GOP members are also considering a bill to address the issue.
"I think the administration's doing the right thing by fighting it legally," he said. "There's a good bill that we're considering. So, we'll be looking at that next week."
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., confirmed the GOP plans to take action, saying, "We'll do everything that we can with our legislative toolkit to ensure that they are doing what's right by the American people and then also following through on our constitutional obligations."
"Right before President Trump took office, the Democrats actually knowingly made admissions that they were appointing obstructionist justices in order to undermine what the president's agenda was," Luna told Fox News Digital.

Luna said it was up to the administration to set foreign policy, for example, not judges.

Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, called the use of activist judges to override foreign policy "really scary."
"As far as the low-lying judges, it's a little bit scary to think that they could actually stop the progression of a federal movement where you have the executive branch which should be the final say as far as that," he said.
"My party needs to be very methodical about how we fix it, and we have to codify law to make sure that we can prevent this from happening again," he went on.

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) and Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) put it more succinctly. "Who the hell do they think they are?" Nehls said. Van Orden put it simply, "We're coequal branches of government," adding, "That guy [presumably Judge James Boasberg] is not king."

The White House is going to keep fighting back to get Trump's agenda done and has already had some successes. But it's good that Congress will also be stepping in to push the point as well. I'm not sure what they have in mind, so I'll withhold judgment until I see it. But the Republicans do need to figure out how to break the log jam, and it may involve them being more proactive on legislation as well to help get Trump's actions through.

Then, as I said above, there are the appeals. Trump just won one battle in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.

As my colleague, Susie Moore, pointed out, in granting the Trump administration's requisition to stay the preliminary injunction blocking DOGE's activities as to USAID, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals said the following:

However, the public also has an interest in judges wielding power only when so authorized. That authorization limits us to deciding cases and controversies, not political disputes. Cases and controversies involve actual injuries to actual parties, not injuries that are speculative and extend beyond the parties in this case. Courts must be wary of stretching to find harm at the preliminary injunction stage when the record does not support it.

Editor's Note: Radical leftist judges are doing everything they can to hamstring President Trump's agenda to make America great again.
