Judicial activist's are at war with the Constitution's separation of powers, and it's time to bring this to an end. Finally after all this insanity by rogue judges, Trump has told them to shove it. We'll come back to that.
Federal judges have claimed that the White House can’t mange the bureaucracy, can't offer buyouts to federal employees, can’t fire political appointees from the previous administrations, can’t pause funding, can’t cut funds to government programs, can’t change formulas allocating government grants and also can’t remove transgender ideology from government websites or the military installed by its predecessors, and cannot under any circumstances end the vast corruption that defines the Administrative State.
The only court the Constitution creates is the Supreme Court, the rest are all creations of Congress, and they can get rid of those if they choose. When you read about how this came about it almost seems like it was an after thought to most of them. Clearly lacking insight and vision.
As a result the other huge mistake the Founder made was not defining the duties, responsibilities, and boundaries for the Supreme Court, and then by giving them lifetime appointments that allowed them to determine what they were, and if there were any on their own. I doubt most of the Founders ever dreamed it would all get so big, and so fast.

Judge Rules Against DOGE Access to Personal Data -A federal judge temporarily barred the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to sensitive employee information held by the Office of Personnel Management and the Education Department, reports Reuters. OPM is essentially the HR department of the government, notes Politico, which calls the ruling by US District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland "the most wide-ranging block on DOGE's activities to date."

HIRING AND FIRING
I've tried to save articles dealing with all the issues the defines the problems between the Judicial and the Executive branches of government. One of the arguments from the courts is these people he's firing had terms of office, and they're right. But they didn't have immunity to firing. If the President of the United States feels they need fired, they're fired, irrespective if their term in office hasn't finished yet.
The President of the United States is the Executive, and those decisions are his alone. The courts have no jurisdiction, and even if Congress were to pass a law that tried to make those appointments permanent and a President signed off on that, none of that changes the Constitution which declares that the "executive power is vested in the President."
Any law passed by Congress does not obviate what's laid out in the Constitution, and they've been trying to do that for decades, the right to bear arms is just one of many examples.

IMMIGRATION
In
spite of the nation's laws governing immigration, which falls in the
domain of the legislature and the executive, the courts have decided the
Constitution is all wrong, they know better, and it's time for the
nation to finally understand it's up to them to make the nation's laws,
because they don't like the laws that Congress passed.

SPENDING
Article I of the Constitution states:
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.” The Constitution first vests all federal legislative powers in a representative bicameral Congress.
Nowhere does it give the Judiciary legislative power. The
budget process belongs to the Congress, with confirmation by the
President. Nowhere in the Constitution does the Judiciary have a say in
that matter, although they've usurped that on a regular basis.

Dirty Judge Jack McConnell, who believes he was recently elected US president, halted President Trump’s current spending freeze. But Judge McConnell is not some innocent bystander. Judge McConnell’s organization has received $117.6 million in government funding in total (ending in 2023). Maybe that’s why he wanted the money to keep flowing. He’s expecting several more million this year!..........
Even the Supreme Court has fallen victim to the insanity on spending, Supreme Court Says Trump Admin. Must Pay $2 Billion in USAID Funds, here, here, here, here, and it didn't set well with four of the justices. You may find this article interesting, How powerful is the Supreme Court?
Well, none of this is sitting well with a lot of people. Articles of Impeachment are being filed, but that's a hard row to hoe but I think it's worth the time in order to publicly expose what they're doing is illegal. This idea has been floated but it would still be an exposure solution, not a final solution. It might be worthwhile for the Congress to hold hearings calling all these misfits before them and making them explain their decisions. This article asks an amazingly pertinent question. If the Supreme Court Is Going to Ignore the Constitution, Trump Should Ignore the Supreme Court.
Finally, and as we've watched this playing out you knew it had to come, President
Trump Signs an Order That He Will Ignore All Lower Court Rulings Until
SCOTUS Rules on the Constitutionality of Activist Judges. Now the ball is in SCOTUS' court.
- Trump throws down the gauntlet to the out-of-control federal district court judges *UPDATED* -During his first administration, federal district court judges—that is, people whom the American people did not elect—used preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders, to grind the Trump administration’s domestic policies to a halt. They’re doing the same thing in his second administration, but Trump has a new plan, and it’s a darn good one. He’s relying on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to insist that courts must comply with the requirement that a court may issue a preliminary or temporary injunction only if the plaintiff provides security first........... With the judges’ help, the activists have been ” functionally inserting themselves into the executive policy making process and therefore undermining the democratic process.”
If you 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. Madison ruling, and now it’s almost completely out of control, and to the point 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, and more importantly pass 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. And any Constitutional Amendment that fixes this should include a provision that all federal judges must be natural born citizens.
As I stated, the only court the Constitution creates is the Supreme Court, and when you read about how this came about it almost seems like it was an after thought to most of them. Clearly lacking insight and vision.
The idea behind lifetime appointments was to ensure their independence and not be impacted by politics. That has been an abject failure almost from the beginning, and in the last 100 years it’s been a dismal failure, one that’s been tolerated by the Congress.
When the founders put this in the Constitution those who opposed it warned the very things we’re seeing right now was going to happen, and they were right, as people will always be people, and people need boundaries to hold them in check.
The federal judiciary after the Supreme Courts Marbury v. Madison decision in 1803 has morphed into an almost entirely political institution that just occasionally rules harmoniously with the Constitution.
The federal judiciary is filled with political hacks, and if you ever watched some of the judiciary hearings for those who are nominated, especially when Senator John Kennedy is questioning them, you can easily conclude most of them are not the brightest pebbles in the brook, and they're dishonest.
There's a nautical phrase, "may you have follows seas", which means may the waves move in the same direction as the ship, and I'm of the opinion that's what will be happening in the federal judiciary. Not for all, because some are blatantly corrupt and incompetent ideologues, and we can't replace them without their consent. That needs to be changed.Everyone on the left is relying on the courts to ignore the Constitution to stop Trump’s “restoration to normality”, and this is the hill conservatives need to die on by challenging the myth of judicial supremacy, and better yet....again pass a Constitutional Amendment to fix the founder’s greatest Constitutional error; lifetime appointments for the federal judiciary.
The Constitution says the supreme commander of America's military is the President of the United States. The judiciary thinks they are!
If the President of the United States appoints someone to undertake some task, that's his right and responsibility under Article II of the Constitution, and this argument these DOGE employees don't have the proper security clearances is horsepucky. The intimate authority on security clearances is the President of the United states. If says their cleared, they're cleared, and he doesn't need confirmation or permission from the FBI or anyone else. Most assuredly he doesn't need permission from the federal judiciary.
DOGE has exposed amazing levels of waste, and the corruption by the Administrative State is so bad,it makes the 19th century’s patronage system look good. In spite of that the federal judiciary says none of that matters.
