Last week, U.S. District Judge George O’Toole delayed the deadline for federal workers to accept President Trump’s generous buyout offer --- which about 65,000 employees have already accepted --- until he could hear arguments from both sides. On Wednesday, he reinstated the President’s offer, ruling the government unions who had filed a lawsuit to block the program lacked legal standing and that his court lacks the jurisdiction to even rule on the matter.

Of course, most of the federal judges rushing to block Trump’s agenda also lack legal standing to do so, but they’re doing it anyway. That’s why it’s important to get these cases to the Supreme Court or to have the GOP Congress clarify the laws they’re twisting as soon as possible. Ann Coulter, who is an attorney, has a good column on this judicial overreach in which, as she puts it, judges who represent an unelected 1/2000^th of one of three branches of government are trying to seize the powers of the only nationally-elected official in Washington.

She also offers some reminders of the Democrats’ extremely situational principles, which allows them to switch on a dime from “the Constitution is outdated trash that should be shredded if it holds back progress” to “Trump is violating the Constitution, it’s the end of the world, impeach him!”
