The former president of the Newt Gingrich Chamber sentenced the federal judges wave blocking the agenda of President Donald Trump as a “judicial coup” on Tuesday.
Gingrich made the comments while testifying during a legal subcommittee hearing of the Chamber focused on the “overtaking” by the judges of the American district courts across the country. The former legislator stressed that the vast majority of judges fileing injunctions or restrictions against Trump’s executive actions were appointed by the Democrats.
“Mr. Gingrich, I am told that 92% of the judges who issued covered injunctions against the administration were appointed by the Democrats. Representative Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Asked the hearing.
“If you look at the recent reports of various surveys, the majority of Americans clearly believe that no district judge should be able to issue a national injunction,” said Gingrich.
“Look, my judgment is as a historian. It is clearly a judicial coup. You do not have as many different judges, these many different national injunctions – all coming from the same ideological and political experience – and simply assume that they are all random efforts of justice,” he continued.

“This is a clear effort to stop the extent of the change of President Trump,” he added.
“Terribly insufficient”: the American judge takes over Trump administration for days deportation information
Gingrich continued by arguing that it is unacceptable for “random” judges to microchip the President of the United States.
“They put the Americans and the nation in danger when they intervene to become essentially alternative presidents. You now have 677 alternative presidents, none of which won an election,” he said.

The best solution for the injunction wave is that the chief judge of the Supreme Court John Roberts intervenes, said Gingrich. Roberts could ensure that such decisions of the lower federal courts could go directly to the Supreme Court.
In the center of the controversy of the court is the district judge James Boasberg, who tried to block the Trump administration to deport members of the Gang Tren from Aragua to El Salvador. Other judges have placed injunctions on Trump’s efforts to reduce the federal government.
The president of the Chamber, Mike Johnson, R-La., Met with last week of members of the members of the Republican Judicial Committee for which sources called a “brainstorming” session on how to respond to judges like Boasberg.

The ideas raised by legislators included an accelerated call process, exercising the power of expenses of the congress on the judiciary and limiting the capacity to “judge the store”.
And some conservatives are impatient to target specific judges who, according to them, abuse their power via the dismissal process, but the republican leaders of the Chamber are wary of this path and believe that it is less effective than other legislative avenues.
