When District Judges create out of thin air the right to impose nationwide injunctions against presidential decisions, or start making policies that are clearly outside their remit, they are destroying the Constitutional order. — David Strom, columnist, Hot Air
Judges wear robes, not capes. If judges take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena and throw political punches, they should expect to receive a political knockout. — Mike Davis, founder, Article III Project
I think some of these judges believe they are beyond and above the law — and they are not. — Pam Bondi, attorney general
It’s time to put a stop to these Liberal district judges with their treasonous ways! — The American Patriot FB post
If these lower court judges continue their rampage, the administration is going to start ignoring their orders, and once that happens, the cat can never be put back in the bag. — Bonchie, columnist, RedState
We have suffered the biggest invasion in the history of the United States. It’s an attack on democracy and a constitutional crisis. It is the DUTY of the President to decide how to repel such an incursion on our sovereignty, not a random district court judge. — Scott Jennings, CNN commentator
Democrats and leftist groups like the ACLU have sued the Trump administration for virtually everything he and his team have tried to do in his second stint in the office, and lower-court judges have frequently been jumping in and making sweeping decisions that many critics think are far out of their purview. — Bob Hoge, columnist, RedState
Trump is fighting a cartel of vile, corrupt and far-left judges trying to kill his campaign promises. — Miranda Devine
Where are the guardrails on the judicial branch where activist judges think they’re justified in completely controlling the executive branch? — Jack Hellner, contributor, American Thinker
A left-wing legal group with the misleading name Democracy Forward is proving to be the biggest obstacle to translating President Donald Trump’s massive election victory into real change. … It sues the Trump administration repeatedly, venue shopping for sympathetic district court judges — the lowest on the totem pole — who will act as stooges, issuing national injunctions to halt Trump’s agenda, never mind how flimsy or outright false the legal claims are. — Betsy McCaughey, columnist, Townhall
