Steve Cortes: Idea Trump Can’t Push Back Against the Court Is ‘Absurd’

EXCERPT:

CORTES: "Well, no, he’s not trying to. The courts have done that themselves. They have inserted themselves into partisan politics through judicial activism and I would argue even judicial tyranny, quite frankly, where they’re legislating from the bench. Again, this is one of the reasons Trump was elected. I think if the late Antonin Scalia hadn’t died in such an untimely manner, I’m not sure the President would have won. But that crystallized that issue for the American voters of how activist and unfair our courts have been. By the way, the idea he can’t push back against the courts is really quite absurd. Just because they put on black robes does not make them saints. Does not turn them suddenly into impartial angels. There are a lot of terrible judges and there have been awful decisions in the past. We only need to look at things line Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, there are many cases where courts are enormously wrong. And in my opinion, and certainly in the President's, the Ninth Circuit is enormously wrong right now trying to intervene in his very lawful protection of America at the southern border."
