Why pro-life Americans can’t trust the courts any more
Americans love to blame politicians — and often with good reason. But the real power in this country doesn’t rest with the people we elect. It rests with the ones we don’t. Unelected judges now govern America. They don’t interpret laws. They rewrite them.
Activist judges have become the unelected elite now running our country, handing down rulings that override the will of voters, defy elected legislatures, and erase laws they don’t like.
One state is trying to protect life; the other is trying to shield those who end it. And a single judge gets to pick which law counts.
They employ manipulative language to justify their overreach. If you don’t comply, blood is on your hands. Whether it’s the environment, vaccine mandates, border control, or abortion access, the refrain is always the same: Submit to the ruling, or people will die.
The irony couldn’t be more blatant.
In many cases involving abortion policy, it is in fact judges’ rulings that cost lives — lives of the unborn babies impacted by their rogue, dangerous decisions.
Take the recent case in Tennessee, where a federal judge blocked a law that protected minors from being trafficked across state lines for secret abortions. The law didn’t punish women. It didn’t outlaw abortion. It simply required parental involvement, something the majority of Americans support. But for activist judges, parental rights are optional if abortion is the end goal.
In New York, another judge defied federal authority and openly refused to cooperate with Texas law enforcement to hold a doctor accountable for illegally prescribing abortion pills. One state is trying to protect life; the other is trying to shield those who end it. And a single judge gets to pick which law counts.
Meanwhile, a federal judge overturned efforts to defund Planned Parenthood nationwide, even after Congress passed clear budget restrictions. The elected branches — chosen by the people — made a decision. But it didn’t matter. The judge didn’t like it, so the ruling class overruled the people and prioritized its holy grail: abortion.
Judicial activism has turned the courts into abortion war rooms. Judges now see themselves not as interpreters of law but as defenders of an ideology that elevates abortion above the democratic process. Their rulings don’t reflect any laws. They reflect a commitment to abortion at any cost.
It’s not just dangerous. It’s undemocratic.
Thankfully, the Supreme Court is beginning to push back. In a recent ruling, the court clarified that district judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions and block federal policies. It’s a necessary and overdue correction. But it’s only the beginning.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and gave power back to the people. In many states across the country, Americans responded by electing leaders and passing laws to protect the unborn. But today, activist judges are overriding those efforts, blocking pro-life laws and shielding abortionists from accountability.
We need judges who apply the law, not rewrite it. Until that happens, every unborn child, every woman in danger of being exploited by the abortion industry, and every citizen fighting for life will remain at the mercy of unelected rulers.
The Dobbs decision was only the beginning. Now we must press forward to ensure that the will of the people is honored and the most vulnerable among us are finally protected.
Georgia Secretary Of State’s Office Hooks Up With Democrats To Disparage Election Integrity Grassroots
Despite repeated calls for tolerance of differing opinions, the speakers seemed to be 'singing from the same hymnal' in support of the status quo.Polling reveals: Whatever Democrats are doing, it ain't working
A Marquette Law School poll published in May revealed that 63% of Americans hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party. Polling by the Economist and YouGov indicated that the disapproval rating for the party as a whole was 58.3% as of May 25.
It's clear that whatever Democrats tried last month didn't improve their public image.
An NBC News Decision Desk Poll released in mid-June revealed that 57% of voters held an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party. The party's radical messaging on illegal aliens and deportations certainly didn't help its cause, given the majority of Americans support President Donald Trump's handling of immigration and border security.
According to a new poll conducted by the Democratic super PAC Unite the Country and obtained by The Hill, enthusiasm within the party continues to fade — and disenchantment is spreading.
The poll, conducted in 21 battleground counties across 10 battleground states, found that Democrats' emphasis on fighting for democracy — empty signaling that clearly did not help them in November — is not doing the trick, and their ruinous immigration policies are further alienating voters.
Voters reportedly regard the Democratic Party as "out of touch," "woke," and "weak."

"This is the reality of the perception of us as a party, and until we accept that, it’s going to be hard to move forward," Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau, senior adviser at the PAC, told The Hill. "There's a perception out there, outside of Democratic elites, and it's taken hold in not just the MAGA crowd but people that should be with us."
Mollineau added, "It's not about abandoning who we are. It's not about leaving people behind. We are a big tent party. But it is about prioritizing the messages and starting where the majority of the people are."
'The majority of Americans believe that the Republican Party best represents the interests of the working class and the poor.'
Rather than defending anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement rioters, flying to foreign nations to sip cocktails with MS-13 associates, and championing genital mutilations for children, Democrats may want to focus on matters that Americans actually care about.
“We do better when we first meet voters where they are and then bring them along on other issues," said Mollineau. "And nine times out of 10, what they really care about is whether or not they're going to be able to afford health care, whether or not their kids are going to be able to go to a good school … housing, living paycheck to paycheck."
Mollineau suggested that the party should start with "good economic appeal."
Months before he became the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin acknowledged in a New York Times interview last year that "the majority of Americans believe that the Republican Party best represents the interests of the working class and the poor. And that the Democratic Party represents the interests of the wealthy and the elite."
The party's continued focus on pet progressive issues that only the wealthy can afford to care about does not appear to have moved the needle on this perception.

In addition to desiring a fresh perspective and different priorities, the Democratic super PAC found that voters simply want to see different leaders running the party.
A national Cygnal poll revealed last month that only 30% of voters held a favorable view of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.). While abysmal, that's still better than Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), whose favorability rating was 26%, according to a June 11-12 Harvard-Harris poll.
A Quinnipiac University survey released in June indicated that just 21% of all voters approved of the way Democrats in Congress were handling their jobs, and 70% signaled disapproval. When it came to Democratic voters in particular, 53% gave their party's congressional members a bad review.
An NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released last week similarly indicated Democrats' congressional approval ratings were under water with 27% approving and 58% disapproving of the jobs they are doing.
Steve Schale, CEO of Unite the Country, told The Hill, "They want us to have different leaders."

Stop pretending the Democrats are imploding
Democratic leaders aren’t inciting attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers out of pure hatred for Donald Trump and his administration. Their motives are strategic. Practical. By undermining immigration enforcement, they protect a pipeline of future Democratic voters — including violent criminals like the “family man from Maryland.”
Once these illegal aliens receive driver’s licenses, they’ll land on voter rolls. They already count in the census, inflating congressional representation in blue states teeming with illegal immigrants. Democrats didn’t bring these “newcomers” here just to deport them.
Republicans imagine that all or at least most Americans are on the same wavelength with them. But that may not be the case.
If activists now ambush and shoot ICE agents, Democratic leaders seem to treat that as a price worth paying to preserve their long-term electoral advantage. And they can count on the corporate left-wing media to help them.
The press operates as an extension of the Democratic Party, not just in the United States but across the Western world. CNN, NBC, and MSNBC broadcast the same spin you’ll hear on CBC, BBC, Deutsche Welle, and France 4. With this media backing, Democrats face little scrutiny — even when they tacitly abet violence against federal agents.
Right now, public support for deportations hovers around 50%, and it might be higher if the media didn’t stage-manage the narrative. Watch a few minutes of network television or skim the New York Times, and you’ll come away thinking border czar Tom Homan’s raids target preschoolers and migrant field hands.
Fox News insists the anti-Trump mobs are just fringe radicals. They’re not. A massive leftist electorate just nominated Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York City, and if the polls mean anything, he just might win in the fall. Other major cities are led by mayors only slightly less radical — Karen Bass in Los Angeles, Brandon Johnson in Chicago, Michelle Wu in Boston. When it comes to immigration, they’re just as hostile to ICE and just as gushingly sympathetic to illegal aliens as Mamdani.
The “people” voted for these multicultural, America-be-damned leftists. The fantasy that Democratic voters are victims of a hijacked party is infantile nonsense. A growing share of the American electorate has radicalized — including black voters, government employees, and especially college-educated white women, who dominate the culturally leftist bloc in my own Pennsylvania borough.
Despite years of street violence, riots, and inflammatory rhetoric, the Democrats haven’t collapsed. They still hold a slight edge in the generic congressional ballot. RealClearPolitics polling shows the GOP ahead by only seven points. The Democrats may have lost ground — but they’re far from finished.

Let’s not forget: In the last presidential election, Democrats lost the popular vote by just two million votes, running a hapless candidate against an incumbent with enormous political energy. That’s how effective the Democratic machine remains — even in a lopsided matchup.
No one should mistake this for incompetence or insanity. Yes, the party boasts plenty of scatterbrained motor mouths such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.). But don’t confuse theatrics with disarray. Democratic leaders push grotesque policies — mutilating children with “gender-affirming” surgeries, putting men in women’s sports, promoting race-based discrimination — but voters haven’t punished them for it.
Republican observers tend to judge the other side by their own standards. They also imagine that all or at least most Americans are on the same wavelength with them. But that may not be the case. Democrats don’t even pretend to feel regret when ICE officers take a bullet or when anarchists torch city blocks. They know their base relishes in the havoc.
This is calculated politics. Democrats want to expand their base through mass migration and lawfare, not persuasion. That’s cold strategy, not insanity.
If Republicans want to win, they need to stop imagining their opponents are self-destructing lunatics. They aren’t. Democrats play to win. The GOP must prepare for a real fight — not fantasyland.
