Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has offered a simple solution that would allow Congress to fix the problem of leftist and activist judges blocking President Donald Trump’s agenda to cut fraud and waste from government spending, secure the border and more.
Some of the judges hearing the more than 100 lawsuits leftists have filed against Trump already have documented leftist leanings. One even ordered jets carrying deportees to El Salvador be turned around in the air and the terror suspects returned to the U.S.
Members of Congress have talked about impeachment, or removing the funding for those judges.
DeSantis’ plan is something else: Just have Congress withdraw the courts’ jurisdiction over those issues.
A report from Fox News explains Congress actually can do just that.
“Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place,” he explained on social media. “The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?”

He said the instructions simply could be added to a “must-pass” bill.”
DeSantis was responding to earlier suggestions from Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, that Congress defund the activist judges.
