“Activist judges are blocking everything Trump does! Let the president govern!”

What You Say

Courts aren't activists for ruling on the law — that's their job. When judges block birthright citizenship orders or Schedule F expansions, they're citing the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act. CRS documents that every modern president faces judicial review; the difference is how many policies this administration pushes beyond statutory authority. Checks and balances aren't obstruction — they're the design.
