Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday responded to Democrats’ efforts to block President Donald Trump’s agenda by relying on leftist activist judges to gum up the works by asserting that such efforts would ultimately fail.
On Saturday, after 19 Democratic attorneys general asked him to act, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ordered that efforts by DOGE to examine the Department of the Treasury’s payment systems be blocked.
LAWFARE: In an egregious and unconstitutional assault on executive authority, Judge Paul Engelmayer has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data.

“I disagree with it 100 percent; I think it’s crazy. We have to solve the efficiency problem; we have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse,” Trump told Fox News.
“A corrupt judge protecting corruption. He needs to be impeached NOW!” Elon Musk, head of DOGE, wrote on X.

The leftist media attacked Trump: “Not only has the Trump administration seized for itself extraconstitutional powers, but yesterday, it raised the specter that, should the courts apply the text of the Constitution and negate its plans, it will simply ignore them,” The Atlantic carped.
The New York Times railed that Trump had broken the law, saying, “Mr. Trump has openly violated numerous statutes, like limits on summarily firing officials and effectively dismantling U.S.A.I.D. and folding it into the State Department. … the escalating pace of courtroom clashes has raised the question of what would happen if Mr. Trump simply started ignoring decisions he did not like, rather than appealing them. The result would be a constitutional crisis.”
“Latest left/media spasm is about ignoring rogue district court rulings — never heard the same carping when Biden big leagued the Supreme Court to pursue his illegal student loan program…” DeSantis noted on X Monday morning.

“The left will forum shop to find leftist judges eager to throw sand in the gears of all Trump administration policies, including @DOGE,” he explained. “ … and will utilize constitutionally-dubious, so-called ‘nationwide injunctions’ in which one district judge will impose liberal policy on the entire country. The bad news is that Biden appointed a lot of very radical liberal judges so the left will have an easy time finding a favorable forum. The good news is the Supreme Court may very well put a stop to nationwide injunctions and very likely has a majority to overturn leftist ‘resistance’ court rulings.”
