The leftwing crowd, the usual suspects, the MSM, the "progressives", and the Democrats, all have their panties in a twist, whining that there is a "Constitutional Crisis". The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial today pointed out that this is complete and utter nonsense, and that there is not any Constitutional crisis. It can be read here:
Indeed, the thing that most smacks of a Constitutional Crisis is leftwing Democrats scurrying to activist liberal judges to try to use lawfare to attack the president's Article II powers under the Constitution.
Another good take on the subject:

Stan, not every judge who is a Democrat and/or a Democrat political appointee will abuse their office for political reasons. Many Republican appointees are strict constructionists and that philosophy mitigates against going rogue for political purposes. I don't think there is any way to calculate percentages.
However, one red flag is to look at whether they are Democrat political contributors. Judges who have been Democrat political contributors seem more prone to using the position to advance their political agenda. A good example is the Colorado Supreme Court voting 4 to 3 to kick Trump off the ballot, which the SCOTUS overturned on a unanious vote. The three who voted against kicking Trump off the ballot were Democrats and also Democrat political appointees, but they were not Democrat political contributors. The fours who voted to kick Trump off the ballot all had a history of being Democrat political contributors. In the current Democrat lawfare cases against the Trump agenda, several of the judges who have entered highly questionable orders have had histories of being Democrat political contributors, one who was a mega-donor, giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates. |

Break it down for US Steve: What percentage of Democratic Socialist judges are corrupt or ignorant versus Republican judges, who are corrupt or ignorant, on a per capita basis?
I wonder sometimes if I am too hard on the Democratic Socialist variety versus the Republican variety. Thanks in advance. |

The real Constitutional crisis comes from lower level highly partisan Democrat judges using their offices for political purposes. We have seen the usurpation of legislative power by such judges for years in what is referred to as "legislating from the bench". Now this same category of judges in trying to usurp executive branch powers. Such behavior does nothing but bring the entire judicial system into disrepute with the public. Polling after the outrageous Democrat "lawfare" with trumped up charges against President Trump showed that severely tarnished the image of the entire judicial system. These judges ought to put the image of the judiciary ahead of their own political feelings.
