This editor learned a new word today. The United States isn't run by an oligarchy, it's run by a kritarchy — that's rule by judges. It seems we have two problems, and this judge is the source of both of them. The first is the idea that a single district judge can block the agenda of the president whom the people elected. The second is that federal employees are special and can never be fired.
President Donald Trump put an end to DEI in the federal government, but U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga has blocked the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence from firing any employees who worked on useless DEI initiatives.

Why can't they be fired at the president's discretion? What law protects them from being fired?
We have activist liberal judges telling the CIA what it can and cannot do...

These activist judges belong in jail.

He’s the president now.

The CIA can overthrow governments...but heaven forbid they cut a DEI consultant. Liberalism is a disease.

These leftist activists need to stop cosplaying as judges.

Reassign them to janitorial.

Separation of powers is now irrelevant. The judiciary runs the executive.

It's only Tuesday, and already we've had judges block the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Venezuelans in the U.S., block President Trump from discharging transgender troops even after they’ve been medically disqualified, and now this.
This is getting pretty obvious.

Just ignore his orders and force it to the Supreme Court. This has to stop.
We have a crisis in the judiciary.

You want a constitutional crisis? How about district judges blocking the president from advancing his agenda, which the people voted for?
