CNN political contributor Scott Jennings is in agreement with many on the right that we are facing a “constitutional crisis” as a result of activist judges intervening to hamstring President Donald J. Trump as he attempts to enact an agenda the American people overwhelmingly voted in favor of.
Jennings weighed in after U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked Trump’s efforts to require proof of citizenship to vote in U.S. elections — the Clinton appointee said that Trump’s alleged effort to “regulate federal elections” exceeds his own authority and that the administration is attempting to “short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”
“I think there’s a difference between saying whether you’re complying with the law and then you have these individual district court judges setting effectively broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the president of the United States,” Jennings said on Thursday.

“I think we do have a constitutional crisis and it’s being caused by these judges,” he continued. “They’re not here to tell us how to spend the money. They’re not here to set broad federal policy. That is the president’s job as elected by the people. These judges are supposed to be settling discrete specific matters, not policy setting.”
Jennings argued that the left wants “individual federal judges who hate Donald Trump to tie him up for four years.
“If you want big policy questions decided, let the Supreme Court do it. But in the interim, the executive has to be allowed to govern,” he concluded.
As seen in the clip shared above, Jennings posted on X: “The objective is clear: nullify the election results and stall Trump until 2028. This is the REAL constitutional crisis.”
Here’s a sampling of responses to the story, beginning with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who characterized the actions of activist judges as “devious.”
This is so devious

Why won’t your colleagues even consider your argument?
They’re all in on it.
Fcking traitors.

Gee, why wouldn’t Democrats want to require non-citizens to prove they can legally vote?

The damage these judges are doing to this country is immeasurable.

I am just blown away that people don’t believe you need an ID to vote. What is happening to this country is getting so wimpy. I don’t know what federal judge has an authority to do this.
