On Sunday February 23, 2025 Silvio Canto, Jr. posted this article, Time to deactivate the activist judges, saying:
The Democrats are down to one card: activist judges. In other words, shop for a judge who will write an opinion, put the Trump plan on hold, and hope 2026 gives you back the House. It’s the only plan that will work, or so they think. So it’s up to the Supreme Court to stop this nonsense......It’s insane for one federal judge — say, in Seattle or Minneapolis — to stop the work of a president who won 80% of the counties. It’s crazy, and it stains the Judiciary.
He goes on to say it's time
for SCOTUS to set up and bring all this to an end, and while I don't
disagree, I don't think that's the real answer to all this.
If you'll notice no one in the Trump administration seems to be panicking. No hysterics and emotionally ineffective hyperventilating, so, I’m of the opinion Trump and Co. knew this was going to happen, perhaps hoping it would happen, setting the judiciary up for a Constitutional confrontation.
The federal judiciary has been a loose cannon since the 1803 Marbury v Adams decision, and now it’s almost completely out of control, and to the point even the general public is seeing them for who and what they are, and the public doesn’t like it, many fearing the courts threaten the existence of the Republic.
The Constitution says the Congress determines the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, not the judiciary.
This is the opportunity to push Congress to exercise their Constitutional authority to start restricting the federal judiciary’s activist judges, many of whom are nothing more than ideological not so bright political hacks, such as Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, all three halfwits at best, and I'm not all that impressed with Kavanaugh, Barret, Gorsuch, and Roberts either as they've all too often demonstrated a tendency to be dimwits.
The Trump administration is taking steps to confront these misfits. Pam Bondi's DOJ strips Administrative Judges of legal shield sending a letter "to President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, ....that the Justice Department has concluded that the multiple layers of removal restrictions for administrative law judges ultimately violate the Constitution."
In short, they want to be able to get rid of them if they're out of control, Administrative Judges are appointed by the heads of the executive agencies, making them members of the Executive branch, not the judicial branch. Which means they serve at the pleasure of the Chief Executive, the President of the United States.
Will all this give impetus to the real answer to all this? That answer being a Constitutional Amendment that does two things. Ends lifetime appointments, and do what the founders failed to do; define the role of the judiciary, and with consequences for failing to stay within the boundaries of those definitions.
In fact, it's high time the nation took a look at our justice system nationwide. In Connecticut there is a man who killed a fellow homeless person, ate his "brain and eyeball, and washed it down with some sake", who was found not guilty by reason of insanity. But he's okay now, so Connecticut has released him. Why? Because "he’s medicated and ready to be released." How can any person agree with such insanity? This man needs to be locked away forever, he's not ever going to be sane again, and it won't be long before he stops taking the medication, and who knows what insane thing he will do next.
The Constitution wasn't meant to be a suicide pact.
