Judges siding with Trump on border wall, immigration: Dobbs (video)
2018-03-07
[FOX] Congressional leaders have tried to obstruct President Donald Trump over his plans on immigration and border security from the day he took office.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) and Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) often seem more obstructionist than even the Dimms on Capitol Hill. But it appears that President Trump is finally building momentum where it may well count the most, the nation's federal courts. The judicial system is slowly giving the president legal victories.

Yesterday, a federal judge in Maryland ruled that President Trump indeed does have the constitutional authority to end the so-called DACA program. Judge Roger Titus also admonished those of his colleagues who've allowed their personal views to influence their decisions, writing:

"This Court does not like the outcome of this case, but is constrained by its constitutionally limited role to the result that it has reached... it is not the province of the judiciary to provide legislative or executive actions when those entrusted with those responsibilities fail to act."

The decision follows two more legal victories for President Trump from unlikely sources, as well.

#1  Judges injecting their personal opinions into rulings and discarding the law is the entire foundation of judicial activism. What happened to this judge where he felt he had to follow the law as written?.
