In a recent interview, Representative Jordan shared his strategy for combatting activist judges, as well as his take on why so many judges are opposing the President in the first place.

From Breitbart. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is the tip of the Congressional spear in fighting weaponized lawfare, and he discussed what a Republican Congress can do to rein in rogue liberal activist judges Thursday on The Alex Marlow Show.

Host Alex Marlow opened the segment with a discussion about U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges, who ordered that the suspect behind the firebombing of a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri, be released from federal custody ahead of his upcoming court date. In their arguments for early release, the suspect’s lawyers cited the needs of their client, who is transgender, to continue receiving treatments for gender dysphoria and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).

Alerting the public to wild actions by activist judges such as Hedges is important not just for media but for Congress, Jordan said.

“There’s three avenues we have in the Congress” to fight back, Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, explained to Marlow. “In a legislative body, we can pass legislation, we can do oversight, and draw attention to all the crazy things like you just highlighted that are going on.” …

“We have done one bill — it’s already passed the House — which says if one of these federal district judges issues an injunction, it only applies to the parties in the case in that respective jurisdiction. It doesn’t apply nationwide,” Jordan told Marlow. …

Marlow noted that notorious Democrat lawyer Marc Elias had been pushing activist judges to hinder Republican administrations through nationwide injunctions since 2008. He asked Jordan how the scheme can be stopped.

“Well, one step at a time,” Jordan said. “I think you’re underscoring this fundamental fight where the left always says we trust the, quote, experts. And the experts, according to the left, are always the individuals who aren’t elected. So, we trust the Faucis and the Boasbergs and this judge in Milwaukee, we trust them.”

The left’s quickness to give power to “the people who never have to put their name on a ballot, never have to get elected, aren’t answerable directly to we the people” is antithetical to “how our constitutional system works, which is the folks who put their name on the ballot and get elected, those are the ones who are supposed to make the decisions,” Jordan said.

That is by design, he explained. “If you don’t like what they do, you get a chance to throw them out every two years,” Jordan noted. “That’s the fundamental fight. And … because the left wants to take your liberty away, the left is always, ‘Oh, let’s trust Dr. Fauci and the Boasbergs even though they’re wrong all the time.” …
