Senator Josh Hawley tore into liberal judges and law professors this week for attacking President Trump’s America First agenda. At a fiery Senate hearing, Hawley exposed how activist judges have weaponized the legal system to block Trump’s policies protecting our borders and taxpayers.
Hawley slammed a University of Pennsylvania professor who tried claiming Trump faced more court orders because he’s “lawless.” The senator shot back with facts: Trump got hit with 64 nationwide injunctions his first term, compared to just 12 for Obama and 14 for Biden. These numbers don’t lie – it’s a political hit job by Democrat judges.
The Missouri Republican schooled the professor on history. Nationwide injunctions were barely used until Trump took office. Suddenly, liberal judges started blocking his every move – from stopping illegal immigration to cutting wasteful spending. But when Biden became president, these same judges magically lost interest in restraining executive power.
Hawley didn’t hold back. He called out the double standard where Democrat presidents get free rein while Republicans get tied up in legal knots. Every time Trump tries to secure the border or put America first, some activist judge in California tries playing president. It’s judicial activism at its worst.
The senator’s solution? Ban nationwide injunctions entirely. Let judges rule on specific cases instead of blocking policies for the whole country. This common-sense reform would stop radical judges from sabotaging President Trump’s agenda to protect American workers and families.
Hawley reminded Americans what’s at stake. These injunctions aren’t about law – they’re about politics. Liberal judges want to override the will of the people who elected Trump to clean up the border disaster and revive our economy. They’re using their robes to push a leftist agenda.
The hearing made one thing clear: the Deep State will stop at nothing to destroy President Trump. First it was the Russia hoax. Now it’s activist judges legislating from the bench. But Hawley and Trump’s allies won’t back down from defending our values and sovereignty.
Patriots across America are fed up with unelected judges overruling their votes. Hawley’s fight is about more than legal technicalities – it’s about saving our democracy from left-wing elites who think they know better than hardworking citizens. The silent majority is done being silent.
