Judge is one of my favorite words in the English language.
It has history. It has meaning. It has significance.
It means someone is accountable to ensure that right wins over wrong.
We should love a good judge. I know I do.
Why?
Because they are the embodied representatives of justice — the unbiased enforcement of law that exists to provide fairness to the innocent and order to chaos.
They are the pillars of any functioning society and flourishing civilization.
Which is why we need them to, you know, do their job and not decide to become rogue political agents who behave as activists rather than arbiters of justice.
Ah, justice.
Depicted as a blindfolded Lady, Justice holds a scale in one hand with a shining sword in the other. This image, which has stood the test of time since Western Civilization began, is about as far as you can get from the idea of an activist.
She weighs testimony, examines facts, and doesn’t care who appointed her to the bench or how much personal animosity she feels toward any sitting politician or issue.
She is fairness and wisdom.
And she certainly isn’t going to tell you to keep child rapists and murderers in your country when they don’t even belong there in the first place.
She’s going to protect her people and uphold what is right.
The term “judicial activism” was coined in a 1947 article for Fortune magazine by historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. He used it to describe certain Supreme Court justices during the Roosevelt and Truman administrations who he saw using their seats on the bench as a means for advancing for social justice and all that comes with it. Schlesinger noted that the difference between these activist judges and the other judges on the court was that the non-activists were “champions of self-restraint.”
What does the word “judge” even mean, though?
While both the words “justice” and “judge” are derived from the same Latin term — jus, which is defined as “right” and “law”— they do not mean the same thing. Not only are both words constructed from the addition of different Latin suffixes to jus which have different meanings, but the words themselves also began being used at completely different times in the history of the English language.
A judge means “one who speaks the law.”
The law being considered immovable and solid, like truth — not malleable and easily reshaped by the weather or fleeting opinion.
Last time I checked, “speaking the law” does not mean twisting and reinterpreting it to fit your own personal political bias like we’ve poignantly witnessed with liberal activist Judge James Boasberg.
That would be judicial activism.
According to Cornell Law, Judicial activism “refers to the practice of judges making rulings based on their policy views rather than their honest interpretation of the current law . Judicial activism is usually contrasted with the concept of judicial restraint, which is characterized by a focus on stare decisis and a reluctance to reinterpret the law.”
As we have all learned by now, if there’s anything Judge Boasberg and his cronies lack, it would be judicial restraint.
Appointed by President Obama, Boasberg clearly favors Democrat policies over America first principles.
Which would explain why he keeps specifically getting assigned cases against President Trump.
According to the GOP House Judiciary Committee, as of May 2025, the Trump Administration has been hit with “over 30 nationwide injunctions, with the term having started just over 100 days ago… Many of these nationwide injunctions have raised concerns that Article III judges are exceeding their constitutional authority by replacing the policy decisions of the duly elected President with their own preferences, eroding public trust in the integrity and fairness of our judicial system. Many high-profile cases challenging policy decisions of the Trump Administration have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (District Court).”
Sadly, none of this is surprising, as the D.C. District Court is notoriously liberal, Article III judges are appointed for life, and, while a President can appoint one, he can never fire them.
They have become the politicians no one never elected and they are fighting against everything Americans voted for in November 2024.
They essentially have free reign to lower the blindfold on Lady Justice just enough to point her in a biased direction.
This is called lawfare.
It’s lawfare that was used to disbar and disgrace innocent, virtuous men like attorney Dr. John Eastman, who was twice indicted and suspended from the practice of law all because Trump hired him in 2020 before January 6.
Regardless of the law, Democrat and Obama appointed Judge Howell ruled against Eastman because she could and because it best served the interests of the Democratic Party.
What Judge Boasberg does is also lawfare.
And, before anyone says that Boasberg isn’t projecting his own personal beliefs and values on to his rulings, the proof is in the pudding.
Boasberg’s daughter even works for a nonprofit whose founder not only agreed with Boasberg’s decision to block deportations of illegals, but who also publicly opposed the Laken Riley Act — a law named after Georgia nursing student Laken Riley who was killed by an illegal that “mandates the federal detention of illegal immigrants who are accused of theft, burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer, and any crime that causes death or serious bodily injury.”
The lack of reason and moral decency someone would have to have in order to oppose something as common sense as the Laken Riley Act is deeply concerning.
These people don’t care about Americans — men, women, or children.
They care about winning. They care about power.
They care about fighting whoever they disagree with while hiding behind the title of “judge” and opposing everything they can purely out of political motivation.
These judges and individuals would rather another American girl be raped and killed than speak the law and serve justice to illegal criminals in our country because that doesn’t tow the Democrat Party line.
Because he’s an activist, Boasberg has also been assigned pending lawsuit American Oversight v. Hegseth in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia — the lawsuit brought against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for what was called “Signal-gate” earlier this year.
I think we can all guess how he’ll rule on that one, too.
We should probably start taking bets.
We can add the money we win to the scholarship funds we’ve created in the names of the innocent Americans who have been murdered by illegal immigrants.
Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan is an activist as well.
Dugan helped illegal immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was charged with three misdemeanor battery charges, “evade plainclothes ICE agents who were allegedly attempting to serve him a warrant.”
Dugan protected a violent man instead of helping law enforcement protect Americans.
That’s not justice.
That’s evil.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts is yet another activist judge.
Murphy paused the deportation of an illegal immigrant from Burma named Nyo Myint who sexually assaulted a disabled 26 year old American woman with the mental capacity of a 3-year-old.
According to DHS, Myint had a final order of removal issued against him Aug. 17, 2023.
Yet he was still here, in America, lurking as a sexual predator to innocent women.
Murphy also issued the ruling ordering President Donald Trump’s administration to maintain custody of 7 other illegal immigrants who were being deported along with Myint.
The other illegals in question?
- Enrique Arias-Hierro, a Cuban national convicted of homicide.
- Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, another Cuban convicted of first-degree murder, battery and larceny, cocaine possession, and drug trafficking. He was ordered to be deported by a federal immigration judge in December 2012.
- Thongxay Nilakout, a citizen of Laos, convicted of first-degree murder and robbery, for which he was sentenced to life in prison and was ordered deported by a federal immigration judge in July 2023.
- Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, a Mexican national convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life. He was ordered deported by a federal immigration judge 20 years ago, in June 2005.
- Dian Peter Domach, a citizen of South Sudan convicted of robbery and possession of a firearm, possession of burglars’ tools, possession of a defaced firearm, and drunk driving.
- Kyaw Mya, a citizen of Burma convicted of lascivious acts with a child victim less than 12 years of age, for which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison and four years of parole. He was ordered deported by a federal immigration judge in March 2022.
- Tuan Thanh Phan, a Vietnamese national convicted of first-degree murder who has had deportation orders by a federal immigration judge since June 2009.
Would you want any of these men in your neighborhood?
At your grocery store or in the parking lot of your children’s schools?
Yeah. I didn’t think so.
So why do these men and women hiding behind judicial robes and benches want them here in our country?
The White House issued a statement in response to Murphy, saying the ruling is “another attempt by a far-left activist judge to dictate the foreign policy of the United States — and protect the violent criminal illegal immigrants President Donald J. Trump and his administration have removed from our streets.”
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons added that “…having to see repeated murders, sex offenders, violent criminals re-released back into the United States because their home countries would not take them back,” was something he had been dealing with for years as a law enforcement office.
Lyons added that “Under President Trump and under the leadership of Secretary Noem, we are now able to remove these public safety threats so they won’t prey on the community anymore.”
You know, unless an activist judge decides they are worth more than innocent American lives and tries to stop us from deporting them.
This problem, I’m sad to report, is widespread, like a plague upon our country.
Even Florida has to deal with it.
Judge Kathleen M. Williams, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and serves on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida recently held Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in “civil contempt of court after she found out that police continued to enforce state immigration law and cooperated with President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
Uthmeier responded, “Here’s the thing. There’s not a single law enforcement agency as a party in front of the court in this case… as a lawyer, the first day of law school, they tell you about separation of powers. They tell you that a judge can’t order people around who are not under the jurisdiction of the court. So I’m not going to do that….I’m not going to bow down and withhold my oath,” he said. “I gave an oath to the Constitution and that’s where my loyalty lies…. She wants the law enforcement officers to stop committing arrests.”
And it doesn’t stop at immigration — it’s infected every possible corner of policy making.
Trump advisor Jason Miller recently reminded us of this, saying ”the global deep state is real — this legal deep state. This is their last line of defense. You have unelected judges trying to force their own will on tax policy, trade policy, and all matters of the economy.”
Thankfully, Lady Justice isn’t so easily dismissed.
Just this week, the Supreme Court ruled against Judge Murphy’s preliminary injunction protecting murderers and child rapists, allowing the removal of those 8 illegal criminals from American soil.
The Supremes also said the Trump Administration can “resume deportation of migrants to third countries without additional due process requirements imposed by a district court judge.”
This is a huge victory — but it shouldn’t be.
It should not be a judicial battle to do what is right and good and true.
It should be the baseline, not something you win on appeal.
Justice isn’t about empathy.
It’s about truth.
That’s what it means to be a judge — you tell the truth, you speak the law, and you never forget, should anyone try to influence your neutrality or forcibly remove your blindfold, Lady Justice holds more than a scale in her hands.
