Trump's Economic Era

When Barack Obama openly boasted of his
intentions to bypass Congress, and when he had the
EPA declare that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, and
when he supported Attorney General Loretta Lynch
when she wanted to take civil action against people who
denied global warming, he turned the rule of law on its
head. President Trump is standing in the gap between
the rule of law and the hard left. At Penn State
University there was a seminar on how to silence the
climate deniers.
The judicial system is to make sure that judges
uphold the rule of law—but when judges make laws,
they jeopardize our republic. Under the Clinton and
Obama Administrations, some judges have come to see
themselves, not as interpreters of the law, but makers of
law.

Consider what has happened with Consideration
of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
DACA has no legal basis, Congress never approved it,
but President Obama issued an executive order—the
actual law states that the government must deport
illegal immigrants. The Obama Administration chose to
ignore the law by way of this executive order. President
Trump has taken a stand to uphold the law, but several
judges have ruled that it is lawful to enforce DACA. A
judge in SanFrancisco has ruled that because DACA is
in the public interest, it is illegal to end DACA! An-
other judge in New York ruled that the Administration
cannot eliminate DACA because it has not provided a
valid reason to enforce the actual law. So, here we have
people criticizing Donald Trump for trying to imple-
ment a duly passed and official law!
