WHOOPS! NY Times Congratulated for Revealing How Often Lefty Judges' Anti-Trump Efforts Get Smacked Down

Ever since Donald Trump took office for his second term almost one year ago, we've seen the Democrats efforts to stop Trump include activist lower court judges basically saying "you can't do that." 

The Democrats will then of course point to those stories as proof that the Trump administration didn't respect the Constitution, but what we don't hear about as much is when higher courts smack down those rulings. 

The New York Times' Peter Baker posted a helpful graph about that: 

The higher the court, the likelier Trump was to win rulings in 2025:

District courts: 25%
Appeals courts: 51%
Supreme Court: 88% pic.twitter.com/y71IMxXxl1

Well, that's interesting and very telling actually...

LOL. I don't think he understands the point he is making here. https://t.co/TftJzyMbo0

Probably not, but it's a good one -- albeit probably unintentional. 

Thanks for pointing out (I’m sure it wasn’t your intent) that the lower courts are packed with leftist ideologues.

This chart literally just shows how Democrats have made a mockery of our judicial system through forum shopping at the District Court level. https://t.co/N5Ek3aziP0

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sarcastically congratulated the Times for doing some "journalism" with a point: 

Great (unintentional, I’m sure) job by the NYT to expose the politicization of “resistance” district court judges! https://t.co/kuVkrm8swS

They are so close to understanding. So close. https://t.co/GzoGWDVk3W

So close but will never allow themselves to actually go all the way there.

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda, domestic lunacy while combatting unelected activist lower court judges.
