One of the biggest threats currently facing our nation is judicial despotism, says Mark Levin.
Every time one of these district court judges issues a temporary restraining order or an injunction against the president of the United States, they spit on the Constitution.
“These lower-court judges, who are created by Congress, who are not in the Constitution … are supposed to operate within their district,” but instead they’re “operating nationally,” says Levin.
Our founders were concerned that this kind of judicial overreach would happen. They debated ferociously over liberty and rights and how to frame government around them, and they eventually came up with our brilliant republic — three equal branches of government held accountable by checks and balances.
But what we’re seeing today with these rogue district judges — all of whom are “ambulance-chasing Democrat lawyer[s]” — is a complete disregard for our Constitution.
Take the District of Columbia’s James Boasberg, who back in March had the audacity to verbally order Trump to turn around two planes carrying dangerous deportees.
Because the incident didn’t take place in D.C. where his jurisdiction lies, he had zero right to order anything, says Levin.
Not only did Boasberg violate separation of powers, but he also assumed a role that belongs to the president. President Trump has the constitutional authority under Article II to protect the United States as its commander in chief. It is his role alone to execute laws like the Alien Enemies Act, which Congress gave him to handle foreign threats.
If something isn’t done to stop these rogue district judges, that means “at the initial phase of litigation, a single federal judge has more power than a majority of the Supreme Court,” says Levin. “Everything's upside down and inside out.”

This is how unserious our government leaders are about immigration: A judge in Tennessee is about to release self-professed illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia from jail, even though she knows he’s in the country unlawfully — meaning, he’s a criminal — and knows that when she orders the release he’ll be immediately apprehended by immigration […]
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, who recently blocked the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) effort to stop Harvard University’s enrollment of foreign students, is the same judge who was overturned by the Supreme Court for siding with the school’s racist affirmative action policies. Burroughs, an Obama appointee serving in Massachusetts, has litigated several cases involving […]
Last week, unelected District Court Judge Brian Murphy told the Trump administration that it must bring back an illegal alien who was deported because, according to Murphy, the alien needs due process — and the Trump administration buckled. In court filings on Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it would bring back the illegal […]
Nationwide injunctions essentially undo the results of the last election by keeping in place Biden's policies that more than 77 million voters rejected in 2024.
These judges appear to believe they serve as some entrenched panel of oligarchs who really have the final say on what the president is and is not allowed to do.
The courts have an important constitutional role to fulfill. But it’s not to play president.
Democrats are trying everything they can to hold onto judicial power in case Trump wins in November.
