'It Needs to Stop - It's Gone Too Far': Elon's Pointed, Powerful Message on Judicial Overreach

Although Elon Musk is formally exiting his role as a special government employee, both he and President Donald Trump made it clear that his work and that of DOGE are not over. He and the president remain close, and he will continue to serve in an advisory capacity when called upon. Moreover, the work of DOGE will continue even without Musk directly in the mix.

Jennifer Oliver O'Connell gave us a thorough recap of the press conference Trump and Musk held in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon.

Following their remarks, the president and Musk fielded questions from the press on a wide range of topics. One issue raised by Fox News' Peter Doocy was the multitude of recent court rulings aimed at thwarting the administration's agenda.

Trump responded first, rightly laying out the way things are supposed to work among the three separate branches of government and how that's been twisted.

"If the courts are going to have so much influence over US policy, do you wish you would have just become a judge?"

DOOCY: So many of the things that you're trying to do are held up in court right now. If the courts are going to have so much influence over U.S. policy, do you wish you would’ve just become a judge?
(Laughter)
TRUMP: Yeah, well, look, it wasn’t meant to be that way — if you look at the Founders, the president had certain powers, and you have your...three groups and they all have — supposed to be equal powers. But you can’t have a judge in Boston running foreign policy in places all over the country because...he’s got a liberal bent or he’s a radical left person. That’s what the executive branch is for, and you have checks and balances. But we had millions of people pour into our country — many, many criminals poured into our country, murderers, murderers, mental institutions from all over the world being emptied out into our country — and if we don’t get them out and get them out quickly, we’re gonna — you could lose your country very easily.

After that, Musk added some pointed and powerful observations of his own:

I think the fundamental moral flaw of the left is empathy for the criminals and not empathy for the victims — empathy for the criminals but not empathy for the victims. And there's been way too much of that; that needs to stop. To the president's point, there's been immense judicial overreach that is unconstitutional — that was never intended — and it's undermining the people's faith in the legal system. It needs to stop. It's gone too far.

Musk is exactly right on this. There's a subset of the judiciary that appears to have mistaken its robes for capes and taken it upon itself to vanquish the Trump agenda at all costs. Certainly, there is room for some correction — not every single policy or method employed may square properly with the Constitution or governing statutes, and in those instances, the courts should rightly delineate where the administration may have it wrong. But in their apparent zeal to protect "democracy" from the Bad Orange Man, too many jurists have tossed the Constitution aside, and their doing so doesn't just harm Trump or his agenda — it harms the credibility of their own revered institution. And it harms the millions of Americans who voted exactly for this.

It needs to stop.

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