Activist Judges and the Overreach of Judicial Authority: A Case for Sedition and Treason

The balance of power among the three branches of government is a cornerstone of the United States Constitution. However, liberal judges are constantly encroaching on the Executive branch. Still, Chief Justice John Roberts does not dare to do anything about it or else the Democrats have some serious blackmail to use against him. But, when judges block actions by the executive branch assigned to presidents by the Constitution, those judges have committed sedition or treason and therefore should be removed from the bench.

This essay explores the legal basis for holding such judges accountable, citing relevant laws, cases, and precedents. Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests executive power in the President, granting him authority over the administration of federal agencies and the enforcement of laws. But when judges create new laws and enforce them, they have usurped power given to both the Legislative and Executive Branches.

James Madison, in The Federalist Papers No. 47, emphasized that:

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

From The Gateway Pundit

The term “activist judge” refers to those who decide cases based on personal political or ideological beliefs rather than strict adherence to constitutional principles. Such judges have, in recent history, issued rulings that directly contravene executive orders, often without sound legal justification. For example:

1. Trump v. Hawaii (2018): The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the executive order restricting travel from certain nations, emphasizing the President’s broad discretion in national security matters. However, lower courts had previously attempted to strike down the order based on partisan interpretations, exceeding their constitutional mandate.
2. Texas v. United States (2015): A federal judge blocked the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program, highlighting the principle that executive actions must align with constitutional authority. Yet, numerous judicial interventions against executive policies have been politically motivated rather than legally sound.

The U.S. legal system provides mechanisms to address such overreach, particularly under statutes concerning sedition and treason:

1. 18 U.S.C. § 2384 – Seditious Conspiracy: This law states that “if two or more persons in any State or Territory… conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States… or oppose by force the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned.” If activist judges intentionally obstruct executive functions and conspire to weaken presidential authority, they could be seen as engaging in seditious activities.
2. 18 U.S.C. § 2381 – Treason: This statute defines treason as “levying war against [the United States], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere.” If a judge collaborates with foreign or domestic entities to undermine national security-related executive decisions, they could be guilty of treason.
3. Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: This clause strictly defines treason but also implies that actions severely undermining the federal government’s operations could qualify if they involve aiding enemies or direct rebellion.

While judicial overreach is not new, historical responses to it vary. Some remedies include:

• Impeachment: Federal judges serve for life “during good behavior” under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution. However, Congress has the power to impeach judges who abuse their authority. Samuel Chase, a Supreme Court justice, was impeached in 1804 for allegedly allowing political bias to influence his rulings, demonstrating that judicial overreach can be addressed constitutionally.
• Legislation to Rein in the Courts: Congress has authority under Article III to regulate the jurisdiction of federal courts. Legislation limiting judicial interference in executive matters could serve as a corrective measure against activist rulings.
• Criminal Prosecution: In extreme cases where judicial actions constitute a clear conspiracy against the government, seditious conspiracy or even treason charges could be considered. However, such actions must meet high evidentiary standards.

The Judicial Coup Against Trump: How Activist Judges Are Undermining the Constitution and Aiding the Deep State

From the moment Donald Trump was sworn into office, a network of activist judges has worked tirelessly to obstruct his policies, undermine his authority, and interfere in the democratic process.

These judges, overwhelmingly appointed by Democratic presidents, have systematically weaponized the courts against a sitting president in what can only be described as an unconstitutional coup.

Their rulings go beyond legal interpretation and directly violate the Constitution’s principles of separation of powers, executive authority, and the rule of law.

How These Judges Are Violating the Constitution

I. Undermining the Executive Branch’s Authority

• The U.S. Constitution grants the President broad powers over national security, foreign policy, and immigration under Article II. Yet, activist judges like Jon S. Tigar (Northern District of California) and Theodore D. Chuang (District of Maryland) have repeatedly blocked Trump’s lawful immigration policies, preventing him from securing America’s borders.
• Tigar issued nationwide injunctions against asylum restrictions, while Chuang ruled against Trump’s travel ban despite the Supreme Court ultimately upholding it.

II. Legislating from the Bench

• The role of the judiciary is to interpret the law, not create new policies. Yet, judges like  (D.C. District Court) and James E. Boasberg have handed down politically motivated rulings designed to push a leftist agenda.
• Howell, for example, declared unconstitutional an executive order targeting the Paul, Weiss law firm, effectively protecting legal elites tied to anti-Trump operations.

III. Blocking Trump’s Attempts to Drain the Swamp

• When Trump attempted to fire corrupt government employees entrenched in the bureaucracy, activist judges like William Alsup (Northern District of California) and James Bredar (District of Maryland) stepped in to block the mass layoffs.
• Their rulings forced the federal government to reinstate employees whose terminations were part of Trump’s efforts to cut waste and remove deep state operatives.

IV. Shielding the Deep State from Accountability

• Judge Carl J. Nichols (D.C. District Court) blocked Trump’s attempt to place USAID employees on administrative leave and recall foreign-based workers.
• This move directly protected bureaucrats who had been pushing anti- Trump foreign policy behind the scenes.

V. Interfering in Elections and Political Processes

• Judges have weaponized the legal system to prevent Trump from governing and running for re-election.
• Judge Arthur Engoron (New York) has led a politically driven civil fraud case against Trump’s businesses, clearly designed to cripple his financial and political power.
• Judge Juan Merchan (New York) is overseeing Trump’s so-called “hush money” trial, which was widely seen as a bogus attempt to keep him off the campaign trail.
• Judge not lest ye be judged.
