I hear people, primarily national Democrats, forcefully telling us we are in a Constitutional crisis. We are, except the country's president does not cause it. The federal district judges have created it through rulings to control the president. Nothing in the Constitution grants them the authority to make national rulings regarding the president's actions. That is the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States.
We are experiencing a tyranny of the judiciary. The Democrats favor that kind of tyranny, but tyranny is tyranny.
Judges cannot be permitted to run the country. To use a favorite Democratic phrase, they are unelected. The Democrats are running their own "January the 6th," using the judiciary to alter the government.
These judges do not have the authority to tell the executive where to spend money, especially if it is not in the country's interest. Nor do they have the authority to control hiring and firing, especially probationary employees.
The judge who ruled that the executive couldn't look for waste and fraud shouldn't be a judge. The chief executive of any organization has the right to conduct internal audits, and surprise audits are the best kind.
The Democratic hatred of Trump is clouding their judgment about how the country should function, especially in foreign affairs.
