Do Democrats understand that Lawfare 2.0 - Low-level Federal Judges "Ruling Against" Executive Actions - can and WILL Backfire on Them?

Since Trump returned to power in January, at least 60 judges or appeals courts have slowed or blocked some of his administration’s initiatives.


Sixty, out of nearly 900.

Here is a breakdown of federal judges and by whom they were appointed:

Following are the number of Article III federal judges serving in the federal judiciary as of May 24, 2025, organized by the president who appointed them.

Appointed by Democrat presidents:

Appointed by Republican presidents:

So a little more than twice as many Biden and Obama appointees as Trump appointees. But that "score" is not that relevant. If there were only a dozen federal judges appointed by Biden, the Democrat activists would have simply judge shopped to their courts and get the actions they have gotten from the sixty.

I get that Democrats are giddy that they have a chance to stop Trump's agenda after losing the election. But, what will they say when Trump appointed judges do the same if Democrats win the White House in 2028? What will they say if those Trump appointees also stop congressional actions when Dems have the majority?

Will they be satisfied with the answer: "Marbury v Madison, bitches!"

The Beauty of these "rulings" is that most of them do not "rule" on anything. Nearly all of them are judicial orders, not rulings. No one can run the executive and try to respond to nine hundred judges issuing orders and the opposition party claiming those orders are now "the law."

Not a typical Republican judge, no.

Trump would have to carefully select judges willing to use rulings from the bench to reverse policy decisions of the next president. Just as Obama did, and just as whoever controled Biden's Autopen did.

It's not "lawfare" when crimes are being prosecuted.

Grow the fuck up and stop letting them brainwash you with cute little catch-phrases.

To delay is to deny....That's the outcome.

They don’t care if it backfires. They have no choice.

They need their un-American agenda pushed at all cost.

The problem as I see it is that there are far more rogue partisan democrat judges than repubs

Dems have more outs to play with than we do

They use the government to destroy their political opponent.
Then they got away with it.

And now the same will be done to Democrats. Whether it's called "lawfare" or not.

You're fine with that?

You have to have actual crimes, not nebulous, whacky, made up accusations.

Like being federally investigated and charged for making a political speech while being an elected official?

Or calling payments to a lawyer, "Legal Fees?"

Those kind of "actual crimes?"

Or will Democrats actually have to assault federal agents?



Or obstruct federal law enforcement?

 
The fact is that Trump has the authority to make policy and these judges are just a temporary distraction.

Dude, no one was charged by Democrats for political speech.

The lawyer himself admitted those were not legal fees.

Stop letting RWNJ "media" brainwash you.
