Synopsis
The federal district courts, increasingly weaponized by activist judges, have become epicenters of lawfare—strategic lawsuits designed to obstruct the policy agenda of President Donald Trump’s second term. These courts issue sweeping rulings, often based on flimsy legal grounds, that delay or derail executive actions on immigration, deregulation, and election integrity.Congress, endowed with clear constitutional authority, must act to narrow the jurisdiction of these courts to curb their abuse. By leveraging Article III, historical precedent, and case law, Congress can rein in judicial overreach, as exemplified by recent rulings like those involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Venezuelan deportations. Such reforms would protect the Trump administration’s mandate from ideologically driven litigation orchestrated by activist law firms and organizations.Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to establish and regulate “inferior Courts,” giving it broad discretion over their jurisdiction
