It's only days old, but the Supreme Court ruling that Tennessee is allowed to ban body-mutilating chemical treatments and surgeries on children already is having an impact.
On at least four other states with similar prohibitions.
Just last week, the high court affirmed a state law that bans the infliction of transgender procedures on minors. The 6-3 ruling revealed a pointedly leftist trio on the court demanding the agenda of chemically and surgically altering children to accommodate what almost always is a temporary gender dysphoria.
The majority opinion, supported by the conservative members of the court, was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. The ruling found the Tennessee law does not violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
It was in orders issued on Monday that the court wiped out other lower court rulings that essentially promoted the transgender ideologies, the scientific impossibility that men can become women or vice versa, as being male or female is embedded down to the DNA level and does not change.
The Washington Examiner explained the cases now are being sent back down to lower courts for reconsideration in light of the ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti.
The orders on Monday involved rulings that previously blocked similar state-level bans on transgender treatments in North Carolina, West Virginia, Idaho and Oklahoma.
"The move means each case must now be reheard under the legal standard articulated in the Skrmetti ruling, which found no violation of the Constitution's equal protection clause in a ban on medical treatments for minors who identify as transgender," the report explained.
Further, the justices declined to take up a separate case from Kentucky where families were trying to challenge a similar state law.
The appeals courts now assigned the responsibility of changing the outcomes on those cases include the 4th Circuit, 9th Circuit and 10th Circuit.
"Monday's actions come as the justices continue to weigh whether to take up additional cases, including challenges to school sports participation rules in Arizona, Idaho, and West Virginia that restrict biological boys from competing on girls sports teams," the report said.
WND reported on the Tennessee case that there are up to 20 other states with similar disputes developing.
The case revolved around the fact, according to the court, the "growing number of states restricting sex transition treatments for minors by enacting the Prohibition on Medical Procedures Performed on Minors Related to Sexual Identity."
In Tennessee, SB1 "prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing, administering, or dispensing puberty blockers or hormones to any minor for the purpose of (1) enabling the minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's biological sex, or (2) treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's biological sex and asserted identity."
"At the same time, SB1 permits a healthcare provider to administer puberty blockers or hormones to treat a minor's congenital defect, precocious puberty, disease, or physical injury," the court noted.
Three "transgender minors," their parents, and a doctor challenged the law under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
A trial judge halted the law but the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed it to take effect, as the law "did not trigger heightened scrutiny and satisfied rational basis review."
The ruling said SB1 "is not subject to heightened scrutiny because it does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review."
The law's classifications are based on age and medical condition.
"Classifications based on age or medical use are subject to only rational basis review," the court explained.
The court said, "Tennessee determined that administering puberty blockers or hormones to minors to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence carries risks, including irreversible sterility, increased risk of disease and illness, and adverse psychological consequences. The legislature found that minors lack the maturity to fully understand these consequences, that many individuals have expressed regret for undergoing such treatments as minors, and that the full effects of such treatments may not yet be known. At the same time, the State noted evidence that discordance between sex and gender can be resolved through less invasive approaches. SB1's age- and diagnosis-based classifications are rationally related to these findings and the State's objective of protecting minors' health and welfare."
"In today's historic Supreme Court win, the common sense of Tennessee voters prevailed over judicial activism," said Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. "A bipartisan supermajority of Tennessee's elected representatives carefully considered the evidence and voted to protect kids from irreversible decisions they cannot yet fully understand. I commend the Tennessee legislature and Governor Lee for their courage in passing this legislation and supporting our litigation despite withering opposition from the Biden administration, LGBT special interest groups, social justice activists, the American Medical Association, the American Bar Association, and even Hollywood.

Iran's "Supreme Leader," Ali Khamenei, has insisted that there was nothing significant done to Iran's nuclear weapons production facilities by last week's bombings by Israel and the U.S.
But his own foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has admitted there was.
And President Donald Trump has confirmed that if the rogue Islamic regime tries to build back better, it won't, because if there's such evidence there will be another bombing.
A report at Fox News explains Araghchi admitted on a state TV interview tat there was, in fact, "serious damage" to Tehran's nuclear operations.
The "level of damage is high," he admitted.
"All three countries — Iran, Israel and the U.S. — have reached similar conclusions about the extent of the damage, despite what a leaked intel report indicated," the report explained. "The only leader who seemingly does not agree with the assessments is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said that 'the Americans failed to achieve anything significant in their attack on nuclear facilities.'"
Even officials with the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed inspectors have "seen extensive damage at several nuclear sites in Iran, including its uranium conversion and enrichment facilities."
Trump has expressed optimism in the chances for resumed nuclear talks with Iran, pointing out "They had a war," but, "The only thing we would be asking for is what we're asking for before about, we want no nuclear [program]."
He also confirmed that should the evidence suggest that the nuclear program was being rebuilt, there would be repercussions.
Such as another bombing.
"Sure, without a question. Absolutely," he said.
He said, on social media, "His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH,' Trump wrote.
"They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!."
Actually, according to reports, it was Araghchi who left alive the possibility his country could return to talks.
He did caution that "no time has been set."

The federal government is suing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz because his state has set up programs to subsidize, financially, the lives of illegal aliens.
Walz, a far-leftist who was Kamala Harris' VP pick in the 2024 presidential campaign, contributing to her landslide loss, is known for his extremist positions on transgenderism, on abortion, on guns and on illegals.
A report at Courthousenews explains he and his state are now being sued because of "several" Minnesota laws "allowing immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition rates and financial aid."
The complaint was filed in federal court in Minneapolis, and charges that Minnesota laws "explicitly classify aliens who are not lawfully present in the United States as residents under certain conditions, and thus eligible for reduced tuition and free tuition, respectively, for public state colleges while U.S. citizens from other states must pay higher out-of-state tuition rates and are ineligible for the free tuition."
The charge continues, "This discriminatory treatment in favor of aliens not lawfully present in the United States over U.S. citizens is squarely prohibited and preempted by federal law, which provides that 'an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State … for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit … without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.'"
Minnesota, the complaint charges, is violating the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution with its agenda, so the court should declare Minnesota's laws "preempted and permanently enjoin their enforcement."
Federal law "prohibits States from providing aliens not lawfully present in the United States with any postsecondary education benefit that is denied to U.S. citizens. That prohibition is categorical, yet Minnesota is flagrantly violating it. This Court should put an end to this unequal treatment of Americans that is an unequivocal and ongoing violation of federal law by entering a permanent injunction against the enforcement of Minnesota State laws that mandate the grant of unlawful state benefits to aliens not lawfully present in the United States," the filing states.
The state's financial aid program, to which it gives illegal aliens access, is called the North Star Promise.
The report noted President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders on the subject, "Ending taxpayer subsidization of open borders" and "Ending taxpayer subsidization of open borders," and each of those instructs departments and agencies to see to it that no taxpayer-funded benefits go to "unqualified aliens."
Leftist Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison also is being sued.
Minnesota simply provides recognition and privileges to illegal aliens if they meet several baseline qualifications, such as showing they've filed for lawful immigration status.
Attorney General Pam Bondi explained, "No state can be allowed to treat Americans like second-class citizens in their own country by offering financial benefits to illegal aliens. The Department of Justice just won on this exact issue in Texas, and we look forward to taking this fight to Minnesota in order to protect the rights of American citizens first."
The report noted that instate fees and tuition for one University of Minnesota branch total about $17,000 a year, a scheduled applied to those illegal aliens. Out-of-state U.S. residents are charged more than $38,000.

A new secret investigation has been launched within the Trump administration of hundreds of scientists who are working inside the United States, but actually come from "countries of concern," such as China, according to a new report from Just the News.
The publication reported its sources have confirmed the investigation into scientists that sometimes have accessed the United States by "using visas procured with the help of the National Institutes of Health and other federal research agencies."
The concerns were heightened recently when "three Chinese scientists were arrested … trying to smuggle into America dangerous pathogens like fungi and roundworms capable of destroy crops."
The absence of a review by prior administrations of whether scientists were linked to "actors" like the Chinese military or its Community Party triggered the review.
The report explained there could be as many as 1,000 scientists from those nations, mostly from China, who have been identified as working inside NIH alone.
"The Trump administration is committed to safeguarding America's national and economic security. Taxpayer dollars should not and cannot fund foreign espionage against America's industrial base and research apparatus," White House spokesman Kush Desai told Just the News.
Officials told Just the News the urgency of the new effort underscores the lax screening procedures under the NIH leadership of Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, the prominent promoter of dangerous mRNA shots during the COVID pandemic.
The report pointed out that GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, has released a half a dozen reports or more in recent years warning that NIH and other agencies, "and their surrogates inside universities," simply don't have the safeguards to guard American research from foreign influences.
One of those concluded, "China is America's top adversary, and foreign influence remains a key risk for the country's national security. DOD and DHS officials lack specific guidance on how acquisition personnel should collect information, assess, or mitigate potential national security risks when awarding contracts for consulting services."
The report noted, "Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist who defected to the United States in 2020 and alleged the COVID-19 virus was man-made, told Just the News that most scientists in her home country who win a visa to the United States sign contracts with the communist government of China to use their time in America for their home country's benefit."
Yan said, on the Just the News, No Noise television show that, "The scientists getting visas from China to the US, they are visiting scholars, and they have signed the contract with Chinese government to go back to China, serve for China with whatever they can get from the U.S."
And Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, said on the John Solomon Reports podcast, "The Chinese have been infiltrating our intellectual property, both covertly and on the surface for us to see. Yet we have sat back and allowed it to happen."

'The district court judge in Boston has said he's going to defy the ruling. So expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court'
Instances of anarchy in the American judiciary are self-evident. There's Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who is on video diverting federal ICE agents and apparently helping an illegal alien criminal escape.
She is arguing in court now that she has absolute immunity for anything she does in her courtroom, or even her courthouse.
Just like the kings of civilizations past.
Moving to the national level, leftists long have complained that President Donald Trump disagrees with and doesn't follow the rulings of the federal court system.
On the first point, they're right, and Trump never has concealed his disagreements with some of the outlandish rulings – like the order to turn jets deporting illegal alien criminals around while they were in the air to return to America. And other entry level judges who claim to control the executive branch's decisions nationwide.
On the second point, wrong. As Trump does follow even the rulings to which he has legitimate objections.
But now a leftist and "activist" judge in Boston has decided the Supreme Court rulings don't apply to him and his court, and the outrage from leftists would compete with crickets for silence.
But the fireworks soon are expected.
It was in a 6-3 decision on Monday that the high court gave Trump's administration a huge victory: deciding that illegal aliens could be deported via "third countries" without requirements that they be allowed to present their case against that.
The fight is over what Trump's officials have called "the worst of the worst," violent criminals accused of crimes in America but who were refused permission to return to their home countries.
Several leftist organizations in America fought in the courts on their behalf, claiming they could not be moved to third countries. A leftist judge, the Biden-nominated Brian Murphy, agreed, but the Supreme Court stayed that order.
Some of the criminals have been held in a makeshift room in Africa, guarded constantly by federal officers, because the Trump administration is not allowed to finish the deportation process there.
At the Western Journal was a commentary: "Remember how President Donald Trump's administration was supposed to listen to judges when they issued injunctions, even if said judge didn't have jurisdiction over the entire nation? Well, as it turns out, that was all bogus. There is one court that has jurisdiction over the entire nation — the Supreme Court, for all you dullards out there who don't get the point — and it handed down a ruling in a controversial case. A judge appointed by President Joe Biden is deciding he can ignore that ruling — and the crickets from the left are more deafening than anything you'll hear in the late, muggy hours of a countryside summer night."
Tricia McLaughlin of the Department of Homeland Security said the ruling was a victory "for the safety and security of the American people."
Murphy, instead, insisted, his order "remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding today's stay of the Preliminary Injunction."
The Gateway Pundit noted Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller held an opinion on that.
"Yes, this is an incredible victory — the Supreme Court win. It allows President Trump, as the law has long said but the courts have blocked, to send illegal aliens convicted of rape, murder, homicide, assault, battery, and crimes against children to any country around the world that is willing to accept them. Whether that be South Sudan, Somalia, or Ethiopia — any country in the world that is willing to accept these monsters — we can get them out of our country and be free of them forever. The only thing I have to share tonight, Sean — and this is a bit of breaking news — is that the district court judge in Boston has said he's going to defy the Supreme Court's ruling. So expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court."
The fireworks didn't take long to appear.
Solicitor General John Sauer Tuesday morning was at the Supreme Court, asking for a decision.
"The district court's ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive's lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals. For over two months now, the Executive has labored under an injunction that this Court yesterday deemed unenforceable. This Court should immediately make clear that the district court's enforcement order has no effect, and put a swift end to the ongoing irreparable harm to the Executive Branch and its agents, who remain under baseless threat of contempt as they are forced to house dangerous criminal aliens at a military base in the Horn of Africa that now lies on the borders of a regional conflict."

Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a three-month terror alert for the United States based on the rogue Islamic regime in Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and President Donald Trump's decision to blow up a number of the facilities working on that project.
"The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States," she said. "Low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks."
She noted that Iran also has a longstanding commitment to target those officials in the U.S. it views "as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020."
And if the Iranian regime issues a religious proclamation, the threat from "violent extremists" already in the U.S. could increase.
There are an unknown number of those people already inside the U.S., as Joe Biden let in millions of unvetted illegal aliens during his time in the White House.
A report from the Gateway Pundit said Iran "appears to be gearing up for a major retaliatory strike against America after seeing its three major nuclear facilities were bombed two days ago."
President Trump announced over the weekend the U.S. finished a "successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, where nuclear weapons work reportedly was going on.
Iran has responded with rockets launched at U.S. military sites in the Middle East, but reports confirm those mostly have been destroyed before arriving at their tarets.
Noem's statement noted, "Multiple recent Homeland terrorist attacks have been motivated by anti-Semitic or anti-Israel sentiment, and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could contribute to US-based individuals plotting additional attacks."

Somalia native Rep. Ilhan Omar has deleted her own statement about slavery in the United States after being confronted by the fact that her own native soil has thousands in slavery.
Omar, a far-left Democrat from Minnesota whose own political career has been littered with scandals over her marriages, routinely blasts America as a horrible country for its treatment of immigrants, blacks, and more.
She often has confirmed she is in Congress to look out for the interests of Somalia's people.
It was when she posted a Juneteenth comment that she was caught.
She said, "160 years ago on June 19, 1865, slavery ended in this country. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions."
It was commenter Gunther Eagleman who responded, "Somalia still has slaves. Ilhan should go fight to free her own people," and then later followed with, "She deleted her post."
A report at the Gateway Pundit said, "Another Juneteenth post by Omar remains, 'On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom is not always swift but it is always worth the fight. It's a powerful reminder of how long justice can take to reach those who deserve it most. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions.'"
The report cited a 2024 State Department report confirming human trafficking in Somalia: "IDPs, minority populations, people residing in al-Shabaab territory, and Somali children working in informal sectors remain the most vulnerable to sex trafficking and forced labor. Some Somalis willingly surrender custody of their children to people with whom they share familial ties or clan linkages who may subsequently exploit some of these children in forced labor or sex trafficking. Traffickers may exploit children in forced labor in agriculture, domestic work, herding, selling or portering khat, crushing stones, fishing, forced begging, or construction."
And the report noted a 2023 Walk Free estimate of nearly 100,00 enslaved in Somalia.

Late in the evening on Feb. 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern train of 53 cars derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.
The resulting crash caused much of the train to burn, but what has been controversial ever since was the decision to do a controlled burn of the nearly 116,000 gallons of vinyl chloride that the train was carrying.
The result released hydrogen chloride and phosgene gases in the air of the small community.
Ever since, residents have noted headaches, respiratory issues, skin irritations and even eye irritations.
Now the federal government is going to study, in detail, the health impact of that disaster during Joe Biden's presidency.
"The announcement today of the funding for long-term health studies for the people of East Palestine is great news for the community," Gov. Mike DeWine said. "This funding will enable the people of East Palestine to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that any potential for long-term health effects will be studied by the scientists at the National Institutes of Health."
Jennifer Homendyj, of the National Transportation and Safety Board, charged a year ago that the vent and burn after the crash was not needed, and even the crash itself could have been avoided.
The federal agency concluded the disaster that forced the evacuation of several thousand residents was caused by a wheel bearing that caught fire and broke an axle.
A report at the Center Square said the $10 million will be for a five-year study on the health impact of the derailment.
"The money and the study came at the urging of Vice President J.D. Vance, who worked with former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown on train safety and other East Palestine legislation in the months and years following the derailment and subsequent toxic chemical release," the report said.
Vance noted, "As a senator, it was incredibly frustrating watching the Biden administration refuse to examine the potentially dangerous health impacts on the people of East Palestine following the train derailment. I'm proud that we finally have a new president that takes the concerns of everyday, working-class people seriously. This historic research initiative will finally result in answers that this community deserves."
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. said the National Institutes of Health will conduct the study. And he thanked Vance for his work on the issue.

The transgender ideology has been around for years but it took Joe Biden pushing it from the Oval Office desk in the White House to really give it traction.
While he was in office, Biden tried to install the agenda in schools, the military, social programs, education programs, benefits programs, entertainment and much more, even around the globe through America's aid efforts for needy nations.
But now he's out, and his campaign is losing traction.
That's according to a new polling from Gallup that was documented by the Washington Stand.
In fact, the polling shows fewer Americans now believe trying to change one's gender is "morally acceptable" than when Biden took office in 2021.
Actually, following the science, transgenderism doesn't happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level, and no chemicals or even surgical intervention changes that.
"The current 40% of U.S. adults who believe that changing genders is morally acceptable is down six points from 2021, while the latest 54% who think it is morally wrong is similar to prior readings," Gallup explained.
"Partisans' opinions differ significantly, with 71% of Democrats, 45% of independents and 9% of Republicans saying that changing one's gender is morally acceptable. Republicans' opinions have changed the most since 2021, falling by 13 points."
Democrats still are on Biden's bandwagon, with support there rising, but independents align with Republicans in dropping their support, by three percentage points.
"Gallup similarly found Republican support for same-sex marriage crumbling," the Washington Stand said.
"The poll is one of many showing the LGBT agenda losing support in recent years. The percentage of Americans who believe same-sexual relationships are 'morally acceptable' fell by 7% last year, the largest decrease of any of the moral issues posed by Gallup pollsters in their annual Values and Beliefs poll, released last June. A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released last Friday found that 82% of parents favor 'legislation that would strengthen parental rights over their children'; 77% oppose transgender injections or surgeries for minors (including 67% of Democrats and 77% of Independents); and 70% say schools should not teach children their gender is a choice (including 54% of Democrats)," the report explained.
Other findings included that since 2022 Americans are:
Joseph Backholm, of the Family Research Council, told the publication, "First, the mood of the country has changed, so people probably feel more free to say what they actually believe. Cancel culture has lost much of its power so people don't perceive the same risk from saying there are only two sexes and they can't be changed. Second, people understand it's not just a matter of personal choice. There are consequences for what we believe, and pretending we can be anything we want is creating cultural chaos."

"Show me the man, I'll find you the crime!" So said Lavrenty Beria, the notorious chief of the secret police under the Soviet Union's long-time and epically ruthless leader, Josef Stalin.
What that meant, of course, was that any person regarded as a genuine threat to the communist dictatorship would be tried in a kangaroo court on serious but totally made-up crimes. As the Encyclopedia Britannica puts it: "In high-profile, carefully scripted purge trials, perceived political opponents of the government were convicted of heinous offenses that they had not committed."
In today's America, the parallels are both eerie and inescapable.
Remember, after all, that the Democratic Party has embraced not only socialism and the bizarre neo-Marxist religion of "wokeism," but straight-up pathological delusion – everything from championing "transgender" men destroying women's athletics and invading their locker rooms, to intentionally engineering a full-scale invasion of America by foreign gangbangers, sex traffickers and criminals, including thousands of convicted murderers and rapists.
So corrupt and delusional has today's Democratic Party become that, for the first time in history, a major political party pushed a man with obvious dementia (who also happened to be head of a de facto crime family) into the White House as a puppet president, all the while secretly controlling him – and therefore the country – via a hidden "politburo" of puppet-string pullers.
It is this deranged and shockingly corrupt political party that in recent times has been using the judiciary to advance an unholy and catastrophic agenda – first, by following Beria's example of "finding the crime" to fit "the man," in this case President Donald J. Trump.
However, despite the absurdly political wall-to-wall prosecutions of Trump throughout the Biden presidency – after all, in just a short period of time he was suddenly indicted for nearly 100 different crimes! – the "purge trials" ultimately came to naught, with the judges and prosecutors, one by one, being exposed as ridiculously partisan, and sometimes flat-out corrupt, pawns in the Deep State's war against Donald Trump, whom they delight in mocking as "a convicted felon!"
But then, after Trump's stunning electoral-landslide reelection victory in November 2024 and the breathtakingly rapid rollout of his promised and much-needed reforms starting on Inauguration Day, the judicial attacks on Trump assumed a new and different form: Now left-leaning judges across the land would ignore their oaths of office, the clear intent of the law and the constitutional separation of powers, and instead fixate on undermining and blocking at every turn the pro-America agenda of the democratically elected president of the United States.
Indeed, many top legal analysts say what is happening in America right now constitutes nothing short of an attempted judicial coup d'etat.
But why, one might ask, would judges be the new warriors dedicated to stopping Trump?
Consider that when Trump won the 2024 election, the Republican Party also captured both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Finally, most voters assumed, Team Trump had the power, authority and congressional backing to implement much-needed changes and "make America great again." After all, that's how the nation's system has always worked.
But wait.
What if the judiciary, the remaining constitutional branch of America's unique tripartite government, took on a new role – of undermining and overruling the president?
As it turned out, the same judiciary that disgraced itself with all the idiotically corrupt, wall-to-wall lawfare attacks against Donald Trump throughout the Biden administration has been only too willing to do its part to stop Trump at any cost now, be it legal or illegal, moral or immoral, sane or – as the reader will discover in this issue of Whistleblower – insane.
To describe the game plan simply: If you don't like something President Trump is doing, just file a lawsuit with any one of thousands of judges, making sure to pick one who dislikes Trump and his policies. And then suddenly, one local judge – deliberating in his or her little jurisdiction in one of 50 sovereign states – writes something on a piece of paper and magically overrules the overwhelmingly elected and constitutionally empowered president of the United States.
Hundreds of such lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration in the last few months, attempting to reverse multiple common-sense policies overwhelmingly supported by Americans – most notably, Trump's efforts to deport illegal-alien criminals, gang members and terrorists.
The drama has sometimes reached almost comical heights, with one jurist – James Boasberg, the chief judge of the United States District Court in Washington, D.C. – actually ordering planes carrying Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador to turn around mid-flight and bring back those criminals to the U.S.! Fortunately, the Trump administration did not comply, and Judge Boasberg is now facing a motion for impeachment from the House of Representatives. But then there's Judge Hannah Dugan in Wisconsin, as well as Judge Joel Cano in New Mexico, both arrested by the FBI in late April for allegedly harboring illegal-alien gang members!
There is an unmistakably surreal element to the current judicial insurrection: Who are these people? The executive and legislative branches of government are very public, their representatives profiled and interviewed daily online, on television and in print. In stark contrast, the judicial branch of government – both its members and its workings – remain largely invisible.
