Hemingway Presses White House: What Are You Actually Doing To Stop Ongoing Judicial Coup?
By: Jordan Boyd
Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway used her opportunity as the new media journalist in Thursday’s White House press briefing to question whether the Trump administration plans to take any action to stop an ongoing effort by lower courts to impede President Donald Trump’s agenda.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt greeted Hemingway by describing The Federalist as providing “fearless journalism and coverage of politics and culture to millions of readers all over the world.” Her response to Hemingway’s question about whether the White House planned to rein in the “rogue lower court judges” keeping President Donald Trump from executing his presidential goals, however, was evasive.
Hemingway kicked off the first question of the briefing by noting that the corporate media and Democrats attempted to stifle the first Trump administration with the Russia collusion hoax.
“The second Trump administration, to reference what you said at the beginning, seems to be subject to an effort to stymie the agenda using rogue lower court judges. You mentioned that the Supreme Court could and should do something to rein in these lower court judges. Also, Congress could do something about it, but they don’t seem terribly interested in it,” Hemingway continued. “It also seems there’s not much of an actual coordinated effort from this White House to take and tackle this effort from judges, Democrats, and other people using these judges to stymie the agenda. Is there an actual effort by this White House to tackle this issue in a comprehensive way, and if so, what is it?”
