During a recent episode of "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News, Alex Marlow, the Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart, expressed strong criticism of what he described as a coordinated effort by Democratic-aligned judges to obstruct former President Donald Trump’s agenda. Marlow referred to this situation as a “national disgrace,” highlighting concerns about judicial bias and the implications for governance.
The discussion, hosted by Maria Bartiromo, centered around Federal Judge James Boasberg, who has presided over several cases involving the Trump administration. Bartiromo questioned whether it was mere coincidence that Boasberg had taken on four cases against the White House. Marlow quickly dismissed the idea of coincidence, suggesting instead that it pointed to a practice known as "judge shopping."
Marlow explained that this practice has been allowed since 1988, when Congress modified laws to enable plaintiffs to file cases in jurisdictions without needing a direct connection. He argued that Democrats have exploited this loophole, effectively targeting specific judges to undermine the President’s initiatives. According to Marlow, this strategy is part of a larger, well-funded effort by the Democratic Party to disrupt Trump’s policies.
He went on to say that the current judicial climate has made it so that Trump would require near-unanimous approval from hundreds of judges for his executive actions. Marlow characterized this situation as a form of tyranny, calling for immediate reforms to address what he sees as a significant barrier to the President’s agenda. He claimed that the judges in question are largely Democratic-affiliated and are blocking various key policies, from immigration enforcement to deregulation efforts.
Marlow’s comments reflect ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary, as well as broader debates about the role of judges in the political landscape. His remarks underscore the challenges faced by the former President in pushing forward his agenda amid what he views as judicial opposition.
