In a bold and necessary move, House Speaker Mike Johnson has issued a stark warning to the far-left activist judges waging lawfare against President Donald J. Trump. Since his triumphant return to the White House on January 20, 2025, President Trump has faced an unprecedented wave of politically motivated legal attacks—137 cases in less than two months, with only two closed. This is not justice; this is a judicial insurrection, as Senior Counsel Josh Hammer of the Article III Project rightly called it on The War Room with Steve Bannon.
The radical left, unable to defeat Trump at the ballot box, has weaponized the courts to sabotage his presidency. During his first term, Trump faced 65 nationwide injunctions—already an outrageous number. But now, the lawfare has escalated to staggering levels, with activist judges—many appointed by Biden and Obama—issuing reckless rulings designed to obstruct the will of the American people.
Speaker Johnson, finally recognizing the existential threat posed by these rogue judges, declared that Congress has the authority to defund and even disband these lawless courts. In a statement that sent shockwaves through the liberal media, Johnson said:
“We do have authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power over funding for the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. So stay tuned for that.”
This is a long-overdue response to the left’s judicial tyranny. The Supreme Court, sadly, has failed to rein in these activist judges, leaving Congress as the last line of defense. The liberal media, of course, is in full panic mode, framing Johnson’s warning as an “attack on democracy.” But what about the real attack on democracy—unelected judges legislating from the bench to undermine a duly elected president?
THIS IS THE WAY

ABC News, like the rest of the leftist press, is spinning this as “ugly” and extreme. But where was their outrage when Biden’s DOJ and deep-state allies weaponized the legal system against Trump for years? The hypocrisy is staggering.
President Trump, the most persecuted leader in modern history, continues to fight for the American people despite this lawless assault. Speaker Johnson’s pledge to take action is a crucial step in restoring balance and ensuring that the judiciary serves justice—not left-wing agendas.
