John Daniel Davidson: The Judicial Insurrection is Worse Than You think

Ok, I don't know which side is righter about this.

But I share Davidson's concerns.

I mean, I share the Dems' concerns, too.

I think we tend to jump to quickly to choosing sides to some degree because we see that one side has good points that aren't being generally acknowledged. The people in my world generally just line up with the blue team and often never even hear the red team's case articulated clearly. Even when they honestly try to understand, they think they're going to get the straight dope from the NYT. If they check that version of the story, it might be by listening to NPR...so...hey, confirmation!

Anyway.

I certainly understand that the courts are supposed to restrain the President if he seems to be breaking the law. But it's obvious that much of what's going on there is partisan monkey-wrenching--the President can't do anything--and if he tries to, some leftist judge somewhere in the country is willing to grant some leftist NGO (or whatever) an injunction (or whatever).

I (sort of) get the two positions.

I have come to expect that the blue team is up to more no good than the red team.

But honestly, I simply don't know in this case.

But this seems significant:

More nationwide injunctions and restraining orders have been issued against Trump in the past month that were issued against the Biden administration in four years.

Of course you could say: well, Trump has broken more laws in one month than Biden broke in four years.

But I think there's virtually no chance that's true.
