Judicial Overreach is Negating our Elections

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Author/commentator Daniel Horowitz has long warned of judicial overreach.  In a new column, he writes: “While our country engages in a political civil war over Trump, the courts have granted Obama a third term, making most policy changes moot….If Congress fails to rein in the judiciary, there is literally no purpose to holding the midterm elections. After all, the judiciary has already largely gutted the 2016 presidential election.” 

The particular concern is the practice of Obama-appointed federal judges to block Trump administration policies, not just in their own districts, but nationwide.  Yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed such a ruling with respect to the so-called “DACA kids” to stand, pending appeal.

Fortunately, Virginia Congressman David Brat has proposed legislation designed to curb this sort of judicial tyranny that, as a practical matter, negates our electoral process and the voters’ choices.  It’s needed, now!
