President Donald Trump made many promises on the campaign trail and, so far, his record of keeping those promises -- or attempting to -- is virtually pristine.
The only force that has caused Trump a problem in moving forward with many of his bold policies has been the federal judiciary. Multiple judges, mostly Democrat-appointed, have worked overtime to stop the president from implementing his agenda.
Luckily, the conservative majority Supreme Court has handed Trump and his administration enough wins to overcome the activist judiciary, and the wins keep coming.
As The Hill noted, the high court has given Trump its blessing to move forward with a number of firings at major agencies, allowing Trump to continue his mission to slash government waste.
The outlet reported that the Trump administratoin has brought more emergency appeals to the Supreme Court in his first six months than President Joe Biden did in six months.
While left-leaning outlets portray that as a negative, it's actually the opposite, as the high court has been Trump's only recourse on a number of major issues, especially when it comes to dismantling or reducing bloated government agencies, and also on immigration.
The Hill noted:
Trump’s Justice Department filed its 21st emergency application on Thursday, surpassing the 19 that the Biden administration filed during his entire four-year term.
Kannon Shanmugam, who leads Paul Weiss’s Supreme Court practice, weighed in on the number of emergency appeals filed by the Trump administration.
“The numbers are startling," Shanmugam said at a recent Federalist Society event.
The Hill added:
Trump’s Justice Department asserts the burst reflects how “activist” federal district judges have improperly blocked the president’s agenda. Trump’s critics say it shows how the president himself is acting lawlessly.
Shanmagum suggested that Congress could be at fault.
"There are a lot of reasons for this growth, but I think the biggest reason, in some sense, is the disappearance of Congress from the scene,” Shannagum said.
Regardless, thank goodness for the Supreme Court's willingness to override the Democrat-appointed activist judges who continue to try and hamstring Trump's agenda.
Without the high court on Trump's side, things would already look a lot different, and not in a good way.
