Time to deactivate the activist judges
Time to deactivate the activist judges: The Democrats are down to one card: activist judges. In other words, shop for a judge who will write an opinion, put the Trump plan on hold, and hope 2026 gives you back the House. It’s the only plan that will work, or so ...

Time to deactivate the activist judges - American Thinker https://t.co/k0t3XyqEtp

The Democrats are down to one card: activist judges. In other words, shop for a judge who will write an opinion, put the Trump plan on hold, and hope 2026 gives you back the House. It’s the only plan that will work, or so they think.
So it’s up to the Supreme Court to stop this nonsense. I agree with Mike Davis that they owe it to the country. This is his opinion:
The executive power, according to Article II of the Constitution, is vested in the president, who is also commanded to “take care” that laws are faithfully executed. Trump has already begun his work at agencies like USAID and the Treasury Department, uncovering appalling levels of waste, fraud, and abuse. Activist federal judges, however, have halted these efforts, basing their decisions on politics and policy disagreements rather than law.
Furthermore:
If appellate courts do not intervene, the Supreme Court must address these activist judges through its emergency docket. When activist judges issue baseless rulings like preventing the Secretary of the Treasury from accessing departmental records, it erodes the legitimacy of the courts. Such rulings would be as absurd as preventing senators or representatives from reviewing records within their respective chambers—or the Supreme Court reviewing lower courts.
It’s insane for one federal judge — say, in Seattle or Minneapolis — to stop the work of a president who won 80% of the counties. It’s crazy, and it stains the Judiciary.
If a judge disagrees with the Trump administration, then he should run for office and win an election. Otherwise, get out of the way, and let the voters have their way.
I understand that once in a while, the Judiciary has to stop an unconstitutional order, such as when the Biden administration decided to buy votes paying off college loans or redefine Title IX. But there are no such issues here — rather, petty judges who should know better but don’t.
So let the Roberts Court stop this nonsense.

Happy # 84 Ron Hunt
We remember Ronald Kenneth Hunt who was born in St. Louis on this day in 1941.
Ron Hunt broke in with the Mets in 1963. He hit .272 with 10 HR and was # 2 in the Rookie of the Year vote behind Pete Rose. He also hit .303 in 1965 and .288 in 1966. However, nobody remembers him for that or his .273 average or 1,479 hits over 12 seasons.
We remember Ron Hunt because he got hit by a pitch 243 times. in 1971, he got hit 50 times with Montreal. The next two guys on that list are Don Baylor (35) and Craig Biggio (34).
As a consequence, Hunt retired with a .368 on-base-pct.
How did he do it? I don't know but he was very effective when you really needed a runner on base.

1945: The Marines at Mt Suribachi
Back in 1945 or many years ago, the battle of Iwo Jima was in full force.
Taking the island of Iwo Jima was essential to the Pacific strategy.
The island became an important post for future B-29 bombing missions against the Japanese mainland.

We remember Joe Rosenthal (1911-2006)
Is there a better war photo than this?
Joe Rosenthal, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his immortal image of six World War II servicemen raising an American flag over battle-scarred Iwo Jima, died in 2006. He was 94.
On February 23, 1945, Joe was 33 and took this famous photo of five battle-weary Marines and a Navy corpsman struggling to raise a flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima.
Iwo Jima was intense: a 36-day battle that left 6,621 American dead and 19,217 wounded.
Great photo!

1861: President elect Lincoln arrived in Washington DC
The United States was an angry country when President-elect Lincoln took a train from Illinois to Washington DC to assume the presidency.
There were threats of secession and war. It was not a happy time.
On this day in 1861, President elect Lincoln arrived in Washington DC rather than Baltimore. He was warned about an assassination attempt in Baltimore and reluctantly changed plans.
Two weeks later, he became the 16th president of the US.
