A recent memo obtained by The Federalist shows that federal judge James Boasberg, as well as other D.C. judges, were biased against President Trump, fearing he would create a “constitutional crisis.”

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

From The Federalist:

During the week of March 11, 2025, members of the Judicial Conference met in Washington, D.C., for the first of its two regular meetings. As the U.S. Court’s webpage explains, “[t]he Judicial Conference of the United States is the national policymaking body for the federal courts.”

…

In a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist, a member of the Judicial Conference summarized the March meeting, including a “working breakfast” at which Justice Roberts spoke. According to the memorandum, “District of the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg next raised his colleagues’ concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis.”

…

Judge Boasberg’s comments reveal he and his colleagues hold an anti-Trump bias, for the Trump Administration had complied with every court order to date (and since for that matter). The D.C. District Court judges’ “concern” also went counter to the normal presumption courts hold — one that presumes public officials properly discharged their official duties. Apparently, that presumption does not apply to the current president, at least if you are litigating in D.C. [Emphasis added]

It is important to remember that just days after Boasberg expressed these concerns, he ordered the Trump administration (unlawfully, according to the Supreme Court) to stop deporting illegal migrants. He then ruled the Trump administration had committed criminal contempt of court by failing to fly home migrants who were already on their way to El Salvador.

It would see that the President and his administration never had a fair trial. According to this memorandum, Boasberg, as The Federalist put it, “prejudged Trump as a scofflaw.” From the very beginning, he and his colleagues wanted to find the Trump administration had committed criminal contempt of court.

Of course, us intercessors hardly expected the President would receive a fair trial. We watched in 2024 as judges and attorneys across the nation brought flimsy, half-baked charges against him. Even though he won the presidency, the Left’s lawfare tactics haven’t changed. President Trump is still being forced to go up against judges who, simply put, want to find him guilty.

As intercessors, this fact should inform our prayers for the President. Let’s pray that he receives true, godly justice, and that all lawfare attacks will be thwarted!
