The Left’s constitutional hypocrisy is on full display in its war on Trump
The article critiques perceived constitutional hypocrisy among progressives who criticize President Trump for challenging judicial rulings, citing matters like birthright citizenship or trade policy. It argues that these critics ignore popular constitutionalism and departmentalism, which assert that elected branches have an independent duty to interpret the Constitution without accepting judicial supremacy. Historically, multiple presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Richard Nixon, have demonstrated presidential resistance to binding court interpretations.
