President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time this week calling out Senate Republicans, urging them to block President Joe Biden’s last-ditch attempt to stack the federal judiciary with left-wing judges. Trump’s message was clear: “Hold the line.” And really, why should they roll over for Democrats who are desperately trying to ram through radical nominees in their final days of control?
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” Trump declared on Truth Social. “Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line—No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!”
Trump’s demand couldn’t come at a better time. Senate Democrats, clearly panicked by the impending Republican majority, have been pulling late-night votes to confirm as many of Biden’s judicial nominees as possible. It’s almost comical—like watching someone try to clean their house five minutes before guests arrive. By Monday afternoon, the Democrat-controlled Senate had confirmed 216 of Biden’s Article III nominees. For context, during Trump’s first term, Republicans confirmed 234 judges, reshaping the judiciary with a legacy of constitutional originalists.
This frantic, last-minute push by Democrats is more than just unseemly—it’s a transparent attempt to stack the courts with ideologues who would rubber-stamp their radical agenda. These aren’t impartial judges dedicated to the Constitution. These are activist jurists who think the law is whatever aligns with their woke agenda. Whether it’s twisting the Second Amendment, greenlighting unconstitutional regulations, or giving the Biden administration a pass on open borders, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
But let’s not forget, this is par for the course for Democrats. When it’s their turn, they don’t just play the game; they rewrite the rules. Meanwhile, when Republicans want to take a stand, the media cries obstructionism. It’s classic Democrat hypocrisy.
Here’s the bottom line: the judiciary is one of the most important battles of this generation. It’s not just about politics; it’s about preserving the Constitution itself. Trump’s call to “hold the line” isn’t just good strategy—it’s a moral imperative. Republicans need to stand firm and stop the Democrat steamroller. The American people spoke loud and clear in this election, and it’s time for their voices to be heard in the halls of justice.
