Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said while discussing the ongoing issue of lawfare against the Trump administration that the left always wants to elevate rogue judges, and the reason is obvious. Democratic judges are not beholden to the U.S. Constitution. Democrats cannot thrive when the Constitution is followed, therefore, they need judges who do not make rulings based on the law but rather write new laws from the bench. It doesn’t hurt when the chief justice of the Supreme Court shares their ideology or is an easy target of blackmail.
Jordan says these activist judges somehow believe they were elected president.
Jordan said:
“That is not what their job is to do. And we’ve actually passed legislation, passed in the committee, I guess, six weeks ago, passed the House floor three weeks ago, which said when they issue these injunctions, it should be limited to the parties in that case in that respective jurisdiction — it shouldn’t apply nationwide,” he continued, noting that even Justice Kagan has indicated concern about nationwide application of some of the orders.
“The Constitution is pretty darn clear … ‘executive power shall be vested in a president,’ not in some district judge in Timbuctoo, California. We will use “avenue we can, every lever we have, I should say, to limit what these individuals can do.”
“So that’s the appropriations process. That’s oversight.”

“The left always wants to empower those [unelected] individuals versus the ones who are directly accountable to we the people, i.e. the person who puts their name on the ballot, runs for office, gets elected. They’re the ones under our system who make the calls, who determine the policies, who make the laws, because they’re the ones who you can throw out of office.”
“That’s how our system works — not Fauci and Boasberg and these judges and these other judges who think they are so much smarter than us hillbillies in flyover country.”
Blah, blah, blah Mr. Jordan – ” We will use “avenue we can, every lever we have, I should say, to limit what these individuals can do.” When are you going to do it?
