This editor should just program a keyboard shortcut that types out "judge blocks." We still wonder what the point of electing a president was if his agenda would be scuttled at every turn by activist judges who think they have authority over the executive branch. Congress is missing in action. The people elected Donald Trump in part to keep the millions of illegal immigrants welcomed in by the Biden administration from registering to vote, but one judge thinks differently.

Excuse us?

ABC News reports:

Donald Trump’s unilateral effort to reshape election processes is an attempt to “short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order,” a federal judge in Washington, D.C. wrote Thursday afternoon.

In a 120-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ordering that election officials “assess” the citizenship of anyone who receives public assistance before allowing them to register. She also barred the Election Assistance Commission from withholding federal funding from states that did not comply with the order.

"Reshape election processes"?

After Trump issued an executive order last month “preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections,” three separate lawsuits were filed in the D.C. federal court to challenge the policy, including lawsuits filed by the Democratic National Committee (with New York Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries), the League of United Latin American Citizens and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Huh, the DNC and the NAACP. You don't say.

Exactly.

Congress really needs to stop sitting these issues out and codify Trump's executive orders into law. Until then, judges are running the country, and it's all in the same direction.
