In the ever-rolling drama of Washington D.C., it’s perfectly predictable: President Trump finds himself embroiled in yet another struggle against those pesky opposition forces. This time, his efforts to maintain law and order by cracking down on the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang are hitting a familiar snag—the daunting brick wall of activist judges. One can almost hear the collective groan of incredulity echoing across red states from Florida to Texas. Activist judges appear to be the new standard, ready to outmaneuver and frustrate any real effort to make America safe again.
Congresswoman, a stalwart supporter of the president, unabashedly champions Trump’s efforts. She argues that a zero-tolerance policy against illegal, violent criminals is what this country desperately needs. She insists that the president and his border czar are only doing what must be done to clear American streets of gang members. Yet here we are, watching as these very crucial moves are being thwarted by judges who seem to thrive on keeping American communities at risk. It’s almost as if maintaining chaos has become a twisted badge of honor for some.
Taking a page from historical archives, it’s noted that Congress possesses the magical power to rein in these unruly, partisan courts. Senator Josh Hawley, echoing the concerns shared by many Republicans, contends these court decisions are not just wrong—they’re unconstitutional. Thanks to the wisdom of good old Hamilton, we know that Congress has the duty and authority to oversee these judges lest we forget the lessons of the past. Highlighting judicial activism isn’t merely a pastime; it’s a constitutional responsibility.
Amidst the hubbub of polls and pundits, there remains a notable chunk of the population that flinches at the idea of executive action. A large portion of Americans, according to one Fox Poll, seem uncomfortable with the idea of President Trump wielding executive power like an expert swordsman at a medieval faire. Yet, it’s curious that those same voices were eerily silent during previous administrations when it came to overreach. Whether it was executive actions from Obama or questionable strategies from Biden, the volume seemed to be turned way down. Uncertain of what to make of such selective attention, one is left pondering the inconsistency.
In light of this, the congresswoman calls for a return to a functional Congress, one ready to reinforce the president’s rightful executive action with legislative backing. It’s a strategy of necessity given the current time constraints and a political landscape cluttered with opposition for the sake of opposition. The constant flip-flopping and selective outrage have grown tiresome. As the congresswoman astutely notes, when all is said and done, Congress has a duty to back up the executive’s actions and to get the job done, returning the country to some semblance of sanity and safety. That, after all, is the American way—or at least it should be.
