in World News Here’s How the Republicans Are Fighting Back Against Activist Judges
by Matt Margolis
President Trump’s agenda to get America back on track is being thwarted not just by obstructionist Democrats in Congress but also by activist judges who think they can override the constitutional authority of the Executive Branch. These unelected partisans in black robes seem to think they can dictate everything from immigration policy to personnel decisions within the administration.
But Republicans aren’t taking this judicial overreach lying down. They’re launching a counteroffensive that’s long overdue, with hearings planned for next week to address this blatant abuse of judicial power.
Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) told Fox News Digital that House Republicans are preparing to tackle this issue head-on. “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-FL) concurred.
“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,” she said. “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.”
“Those judges are not elected to office to interpret or set foreign policy perspective. That is the entire job of the administration,” Luna added.
