HAMMER: It Is Past Time For Trump To Openly Defy A Federal Court

Josh Hammer

Across the nation, the so-called “judicial resistance” is very, very real. And, contra Teri Hatcher opining in an infamous Seinfeld scene on a certain bodily asset, it is not at all spectacular.

In the age of Trump, it is legitimately imposssible to keep up with the never-ending deluge of black-robed malfeasance. From finding an affirmative right to immigrate in contravention of the political branches’ plenary power doctrine, to mandating the continuance of President Obama’s lawless DACA amnesty edict, to commencing full-frontal assault on legislative prayer, to inducing abortion chain migration for illegal aliens, to countermanding the Commander-in-Chief’s unambiguous military preparedness prerogative vis-à-vis precluding actively serving transgenders, the lower federal courts in the Trump era have more often than not been engaged in systemic, politically motivated defiance of the president’s sundry priorities. What Alexander Hamilton assured his compatriots in Federalist No. 78 would be the “least dangerous” branch has instead transmogrified into something much, much more insidious.
