Obama Judge Extends Order Blocking Trump Administration’s Ban on Foreign Students at Harvard

If the judicial branch won’t adhere to the Constitution, then Trump must. the left is shredding our Constitution.

Boston Herald: U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs extended the block she imposed last week with a temporary restraining order on the government action. Harvard sued the Department of Homeland Security on Friday after Secretary Kristi Noem revoked its ability to host foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The dispute over international enrollment at Harvard is the latest escalation in a battle between the White House and the nation’s oldest and wealthiest college (Boston Herald).

In an utterly predictable development, Harvard got the relief it sought from the home-town federal judge … for now. Even the New York Times suggests this won’t last long: “A federal judge in Boston said on Thursday morning that she would issue an order blocking the Trump administration’s efforts to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students. The ruling was a win, at least temporarily, for the university in its ongoing confrontation with the White House, which has waged an all-out battle to undermine Harvard’s finances and global influence.” Or, y’know, to force Harvard to comply with the law and to protect Jewish students from assault and intimidation. Six of one, half-dozen of another, amirite? (Hot Air).

Stephen Miller: “We are living under a judicial tyranny”

The White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor is understandably frustrated (X).

Mollie Hemmingway pressed Karoline Leavitt on the issue in yesterday’s White House briefing: “It also seems there’s not much of an actual coordinated effort from this White House to take and tackle this effort from judges, Democrats, and other people using these judges to stymie the agenda. Is there an actual effort by this White House to tackle this issue in a comprehensive way, and if so, what is it?” Leavitt claimed that there “is an effort by this administration to tackle these rogue judges and the injunctions and the blockades that we have faced in our broken judicial system,” but she did not specify what that effort is. Hemingway, undeterred by Leavitt’s list, pressed the press secretary again over what “some people are calling … a judicial coup…. is there going to be anything more than that, or is it just going to let this operation continue even though it could delay everything for years until the presidency is over?” Hemingway asked. “The administration is operating under the directive given … from the president that we need to comply with the court’s orders. He’s made that very clear, but we’re going to fight them in court, and we’re going to win on the merits of these cases, because we know we are acting within a president’s legal and executive authorities,” Leavitt concluded, before moving on to another question (Federalist).

The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood writes:

The leftist-backed effort to effectively nullify the results of the 2024 presidential election via a judicial coup is destroying the country’s constitutional order. But according to the White House, President Trump doesn’t have any actual plans to stop it.

Trump and his administration have no current plans to end the judicial coup at all. They’re going to continue abiding by these rogue lower court judges’ overreaching edicts, thereby giving legitimacy to the unconstitutional effort crippling Trump’s presidency and America’s separation of powers.

….. Trump is lawfully executing his responsibilities as delineated to him under Article II of the Constitution. Where the administration is completely wrong is their willingness to participate in the three-ring circus these out-of-control judges are putting on.

The judicial branch’s abuse of nationwide injunctions to kneecap the executive’s ability to enforce the law is not only egregious; it’s a complete overstep of the restraints placed upon it by the Constitution. In no way, shape, or form did the framers believe the judiciary should wield such untamed power. (If anything, some of them viewed the judiciary as the weakest of the three branches).

The Trump White House’s response to the ongoing judicial sabotage is no different than the feckless caterwauling the GOP establishment has engaged in for years. In typical fashion, leftists undertake overreaching and destructive actions that undermine America’s constitutional framework, all the while Republicans do nothing but rush to the nearest camera to tell everyone how bad it is.

It’s weak and pathetic.

The judiciary has every bit as much of an obligation to adhere to the Constitution as the executive does. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said as much in a recent opinion.

If the judicial branch won’t adhere to the Constitution, then Trump must. Further appeasement of rogue judges’ lawless actions will only continue to undermine America’s system of governance and subvert the will of 77 million voters in the process. (continued)
