Senator Ted Cruz stood up for democracy at a heated Senate hearing this week. He called out Democrats for backing federal judges who he says are unfairly targeting President Trump. Cruz said these judges are trying to block Trump’s policies and punish him for no good reason.
Cruz got into a fiery debate with a law professor, Samuel Bray. Bray argued against letting judges stop Trump’s actions nationwide. But Cruz fired back, saying Democrats love these judges when they attack Trump but hate them when they defend freedom. He accused the left of wanting power more than following the law.
Things got even hotter when Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar tried to interrupt Cruz. He shot back, saying she was being disrespectful and avoiding the truth. Cruz said Democrats are scared because Trump is fighting for the American people, and they can’t stop him fairly.
The hearing was about “nationwide injunctions,” where a single judge can block policies across the whole country. Cruz said activists judges are abusing this power to sabotage Trump’s agenda. He called it a “twisted game” that undermines voters who elected Trump to fix the country.
Cruz warned that Democrats are turning courts into weapons against their political rivals. He said this isn’t about justice—it’s about stopping Trump at all costs. Cruz vowed to keep fighting so the president can do his job without radical judges getting in the way.
President Trump’s team has faced over 30 lawsuits from Democrat-led states and groups since taking office. Cruz said this is a coordinated attack to smear Trump and distract from his success. He praised Trump for putting America first, even as judges try to tie his hands.
Some Republicans worry these legal battles could drag on for years. But Cruz said Trump won’t back down, and neither will the voters who support him. He urged Congress to rein in out-of-control judges and restore balance to the system.
The clash shows how high the stakes are in 2025. Cruz said the left will keep using every dirty trick to take down Trump. But he promised conservatives will defend democracy and keep fighting for the people’s voice to be heard.
