When Democrats’ lawfare failed to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, the party of “democracy” turned to the last available lever of power they possessed to stop Orange Man Bad: the lower judiciary.
Through the art of judge-shopping, left-wing activists and groups have spent the past year strategically filing lawsuits in districts dominated by Democrat and liberal Republican appointees to challenge virtually every aspect of Trump’s agenda. And with little convincing rationale, many of these rogue judges have eagerly issued overreaching orders blocking the president from enacting it.
The latest example of this phenomenon came on Friday, when a three-judge panel comprised mostly of Democrat appointees rejected (2-1) a request by the Trump administration to pause a ruling by D.C. District Judge Ana Reyes. In her order, the Biden-appointed Reyes blocked the government from revoking Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 350,000 Haitian nationals residing in the United States under the program.
