in World News President Not Allowed To Solve Problems He Was Elected To Fix, Judges Order
By: Eddie Scarry
There’s no doubt that if President Trump used his executive authority to increase hiring at federal agencies, allow in a million more destitute migrants at the southern border, and fast-track the high-ranking of trans service members, not a single judge would have ordered him to stop.
It would have never happened because in America 2025, the judiciary has made it impossible to ever fix severe problems Americans elect a president to address. The only thing a president can do on his own, according to their orders and rulings, is make the problems worse. To grow the government, flood the country with foreigners, and normalize antisocial behavior is always legal and legitimate. Joe Biden did it with impunity. But to oppose any of it is to get smacked down by some district judge who can’t stop raving about the “Hamilton” musical.
It’s been utterly surreal this week to watch court after court tell the head of the executive branch that he has no control over his own administration’s agencies (including the Defense Department), that he can’t decline to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on his political opposition’s domestic priorities, and that he’s required to halt deportations of alleged foreign terrorists.
D.C. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, on Tuesday prohibited the Defense Department from ending accommodations for trans-identifying service members, an early order from the president for the purpose of military “readiness.” Reyes, who earnestly cited the “Hamilton” musical in her order, effectively made herself commander of the armed forces, a job description that was previously exclusive to the president of the United States.
