Trump Is Not Destroying the Constitution, but Restoring It​

By Susan Quinn

The skirmishes between the judiciary and the executive branch, particularly since Trump’s election, have escalated into a full-scale war with unelected partisan judges refusing to let President Trump govern. Although this looks like a war between the President and the Courts, it’s really about the Left vs. the Right. And the Constitution is caught in the middle.

Destroying the Constitution
The Progressives, especially since President Woodrow Wilson, have a long history of undermining the Constitution to meet their own agendas:

Progressives demanded that Congress delegate its lawmaking authority to supposedly ‘neutral’ and ‘apolitical’ experts. They then sought to shelter these professionals and technicians from the play of raw democratic forces by providing them with robust protections against presidential removal. Progressives take not as a flaw but as a positive design feature the ability of these independent agencies to subvert a presidential agenda and frustrate the majoritarian preferences that lie behind it.

When we study the actions of the judiciary carefully, the political left claims that Trump is creating a constitutional crisis; in fact, the crisis is an ideological one. The term “constitutional crisis” is meant to cause alarm, not define the facts of what is occurring. From John Yoo, former U.S. Assistant Attorney General:
‘I confess that I have no clear definition of a constitutional crisis,’ he said, adding that he does have clear ideas about what is not a constitutional crisis:

‘It cannot just be a disagreement over the meaning of the constitution. It cannot be just a fight between the branches of government. … Not only do we have these conflicts all the time, but the Framers designed the separation of powers — according to James Madison — to encourage the three branches to fight.’

Yoo, currently a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, sees it differently, and told me claims of a constitutional crisis today ‘are examples of the hyper-partisan policies of our time than any real assault on the Constitution.’

What is actually going on? The judges are ruling in ways that deliberately hamstring the president:
Whether it’s U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg attempting to block the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, or U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Social Security Administration data, federal judges have repeatedly stepped in to undermine executive authority.

America increasingly lives under a Judicial Oligarchy, where the district court system that functions below the Supreme Court has assumed power far beyond its intended limited role, subverting the executive and legislative branches to impose a policy agenda dictated not by elected representatives but by unelected judges.

Can we expect the Republicans in the Senate to stand behind Trump, or will they back the activist judges? Chuck Schumer expects cowardice from our “representatives”:

Could we see pitchforks, tar and feathering sometime in the future? R or D, doesn't matter. These bought and paid for talking head do nothings need to go.

'We don’t trust you!' Two-hour shouting match erupts at red state Republican's town hall​

Facing down a sea of her own seething constituents in Westfield on Friday, U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz’s town hall descended into a two-hour shouting match just minutes after it began.

Screams from the crowd were nearly constant, often drowning out the Republican representative as she took questions on a range of issues.

A bus going 70 MPH runs into her?? Seems like it was a hit to be honest but no way to know for sure. I also read today that she made a mistake and isn't dying in 4 days. No idea what's going on there.

Doctors probably told her she would die if she didn't go on dialysis until her kidney either recovers from the accident or is transplanted.
 
Senator Kennedy exposes what most already know. The real question is who is Trumps legal team and why are they giving him bad advice to obey illegal DC orders?
