Justice Hijacked: Rogue Judges vs. the Will of the American People
Justice Hijacked: Rogue Judges vs. the Will of the American People

By Stephen Zogopoulos, Argotimes News

I. Introduction: A Nation Overruled

When President Trump took office, he pledged to return power to the American people. Congress responded with historic legislation — culminating in the overwhelmingly bipartisan Big Beautiful Bill in late 2023.

But that victory never reached the people. Instead, federal judges — most unelected, some deeply partisan — blocked the law. Behind them: a machine of dark money, ideological grooming, and systemic judicial capture.

This article documents it all: the judges, their rulings, who appointed them, and the shadow networks funding the resistance.


II. The Big Beautiful Bill: What It Was

This transformative legislation represented a return to American sovereignty and constitutional order.

Core Provisions:

  • Finish the Border Wall and Reinstate Remain in Mexico
  • National Voter ID Requirement
  • Ban Ballot Harvesting Nationwide
  • Deport Criminal Illegal Aliens Immediately
  • Energy Independence & Keystone XL Restart
  • Online Free Speech Protections
  • Parental Rights in Education
  • Ban CRT/DEI in Federal Programs
  • Ban Medical Mandates Without Exemptions

Polls showed over 70% national support for every key provision.


III. Judges Who Blocked the Will of the People

Immediately after the bill was signed, dozens of lawsuits were filed by NGOs, legal clinics, and activist organizations tied to George Soros, Arabella Advisors, and the ACLU. They found sympathetic judges — many appointed by Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

Many of these rulings came through coordinated legal warfare — cases filed in liberal jurisdictions to manufacture federal precedent.


IV. Supreme Court: Last Line of Defense — or New Threat?

Major SCOTUS Decisions (2017–2025)

CaseDecisionEffect
Trump v. CASA (2025)6-3 for TrumpOverturned universal injunctions; allowed EO on birthright citizenship to proceed
Trump v. SEIU (2025)5-4 for TrumpUpheld mass federal workforce reductions
Biden v. Texas (Remain in Mexico)5-4 against TrumpOverturned immigration policy
Department of Commerce v. New York (2019)5-4 against TrumpBlocked citizenship question on census
NFIB v. OSHA (2022)6-3 for TrumpStruck down vaccine mandates
Moore v. Harper (2023)6-3 against state legislature independenceLimited state control over elections

Although several SCOTUS rulings sided with Trump’s constitutional vision, the Court often split, leaving major policies vulnerable.

Justices Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, and occasionally Barrett and Kavanaugh defended constitutionalism. Justice Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan often issued ideologically charged dissents — warning against democracy itself.


V. Dark Money: Who Pays for Judicial Overreach?

Behind every ruling is a web of billionaires and pass-through foundations that influence courts, fund lawsuits, and lobby media narratives.

Major Players:

1. Open Society Foundations (George Soros)

  • Funds ACLU, Brennan Center, Human Rights Watch, Media Matters
  • Supported prosecutor elections and lawsuits against Trump immigration policy

2. Arabella Advisors

  • Controls over $1.6 billion in pass-through donations
  • Created legal war rooms: Demand Justice, Fix the Court

3. Demand Justice

  • Ran campaigns to block Trump judicial nominees
  • Funded media pressure to retire Justice Breyer early
  • Promoted Ketanji Brown Jackson and other activists

4. Sixteen Thirty Fund

  • Shell group to funnel anonymous money to litigation firms
  • Linked to climate lawsuits, abortion travel challenges, CRT education defense

5. New Venture Fund / Tides Foundation

  • Bankrolled hundreds of suits opposing The Big Beautiful Bill
  • Connected to foreign environmental and ESG interests

These networks don’t just fund legal action. They train clerks, influence law school curriculum, and craft pre-written judicial opinions.


VI. Consequences of Judicial Tyranny

  • Border insecurity continues due to blocked enforcement
  • Elections remain vulnerable without national Voter ID
  • Free speech is under attack as judges redefine “disinformation”
  • Parental rights eroded, with schools allowed to hide gender transitions
  • Energy costs rise, as federal projects remain frozen

Congress passed the laws. The people supported them. Judges killed them.


VII. How to Fix It

Reform must be immediate, bold, and transparent.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Judicial Term Limits — End lifetime appointments
  • National Judicial Transparency Act — Mandatory disclosure of all donors, events, and third-party affiliations
  • Ban Foreign Donations to legal/litigation nonprofits
  • Create Judicial Oversight Commission under Congress
  • Strip Jurisdiction from activist courts over federal legislation
  • Require Public Hearings for all nationwide injunctions

America cannot function under judicial anarchy.


VIII. Final Word: A Republic, If We Can Keep It

Our Founders feared tyranny from kings. What they never predicted was tyranny from judges in black robes — unaccountable, unelected, and increasingly un-American.

The courts have blocked the border. They’ve erased voter ID. They’ve censored speech. They’ve sided with foreign interests over American parents.

The Big Beautiful Bill showed us what’s possible.

Now we must reclaim what’s right.
