Trump should just tell them to fuck off and carry on.

HEMMER: So the way we frame that question where there’s 650 district court judges across the country and what Barr says, a judge in the same court down the hall could disagree with him. That does not give the original judge the authority to go over the executive power. How do you view that?
TURLEY: No, I think there’s a legitimate complaint here. It’s like having a car where every passenger is grabbing the emergency brake. It’s pretty hard to drive that car.
And, you know, what you have here are judges that are imposing national injunctions which the Supreme Court, including liberals like Justice Kagan, have objected to. She said this is madness that you have all of these trial judges who are imposing national injunctions. Congress is looking at legislation to curtail the ability of lower court judges to do precisely that.
So I think there’s merit to that. I think that the Trump administration is likely to win. I also think the Trump administration is likely to prevail in most of these cases.
I think that federal judges have overextended themselves. I think they have intruded into areas of Article II or presidential authority.
……Jonathan Turley: “I think that federal judges have overextended themselves. I think they have intruded into areas of Article II or presidential authority.”
Democrats use the judiciary as a political backstop. Can’t win at the ballot box? Just find an Obama judge in California to declare a Trump policy unconstitutional by lunchtime.
….Democrats cry “checks and balances,” but what they really mean is “lawfare and sabotage.” President Trump’s policies have widespread support—but partisan district judges have become unelected super-legislators.
Leftwing activist judges are trying to usurp the position and authority of the president. They don’t uphold the law and the constitution. They use their bench and personal politics to override lawful, constitutional executive orders, simply because they hate Trump.
They hate the fact that he’s doing exactly what we elected him to do. He’s fulfilling the promises he made to put America first.

Seems to me to be an ideal place and time to emulate President. Andrew Jackson, who said upon being rebuffed by the Supreme Court: “The Chief Justice has rendered his decision. Now, let him enforce it.”
John,
I love the quote. And in this case, it’s certainly applicable.
