Radio host and Convention of States Project endorser Mark Levin unleashed on the judicial system on his radio show last night after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to keep Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order in place and to expand it by accepting new DACA applications.
“This is judicial tyranny. You’re viewing it now,” Levin said.
“I could not be more disgusted. I could not hold a federal judge in more contempt! The judiciary in this country is completely and utterly out of control, where federal district judges, who are responsible to no one and responsible for nothing, can sit there and impose their personal policy views on this nation, on the president of the United States.”
Listen:
“Let me ask you something, ladies and gentlemen,” Levin said. “If we have federal judges in this country that don’t follow the Constitution, if the rule of the law and the law of the land mean nothing to them, then why do their opinions mean anything to us? If they’re going to be lawless and refuse to faithfully carry out their duties, then why should anybody listen to what they have to say, if lawlessness is the name of the game?”
Levin goes on to explain that the only solution lies in Article V of the Constitution. An Article V Convention of States has the power to propose constitutional amendments that limit the power of the federal judiciary. These amendments can both clarify the limited role of the courts and reverse 100 years of judicial activistm.
