President Trump is fulfilling one of his central campaign promises to appoint originalists to the federal judiciary. Indeed, it was so significant that it drove many of his voters to support him in the first place. Had Trump not been elected, we would have had loose constructionists stocking the judiciary for the next four or even eight years. This would have given the Left near total control of the third branch of government, as most of the federal appeals courts are currently controlled by Democratic appointees.

Ever since the upheaval of the 1960s, the courts have entertained many of the cultural ideas of the Left, from abortion and illegitimacy to changes in criminal procedure and federalism. Indeed, it was the Baby Boomers who launched the counter-culture when they themselves were young. Nowadays, social issues and identity politics have driven left-wing millennials to protest and get civically engaged.

While young conservatives often care about life, limited government, national defense, and have a “leave me alone” attitude, young leftists have a collective attitude laced with putridity that says “you can’t always follow the Constitution.” This Wilsonian attitude that the Constitution is so replete with problems has festered for more than a century and continues to manifest itself in how the Left believes that public policy should be shaped.

With Trump appointing and Republicans confirming phenomenal jurists, it makes you wonder how young leftists who demand change by way of judicial activism will use the courts while liberal judges are still around. It seems that every single solitary issue that mobilizes young left-wingers against Trump, from net neutrality and birth control to what to do with “Dreamers,” there is a liberal judge ready to ratify the proclivities of the Left.

I once heard a left-wing friend remark that Trump is the best Republican to enter the White House. I was surprised to hear this, but he explained that without Trump, there would be no “resistance.” With no “resistance,” the willpower to fight the issues that are perceived as unique to Trump would not be as amplified. Essentially, the issues that the Left has opposed over the years are fought with more dynamism simply because it’s Trump who is championing them.

Let’s not forget that the hysteria that erupted in the 1960s was led by young people, similar to the campaign to “resist” today. Young folks are seen as the main participants of the “resistance” and the goal of left-wing movements have always been outright hostility to any sense of authority or tradition, in favor of “progress” and changing the social order. The fact that the courts entertained 134 lawsuits against Trump in about 100 days of his presidency, while Presidents Bush and Obama only faced 26 and 7 cases, respectively, demonstrates just how aggressively the Left is willing to go after Trump.

Isn’t it interesting that the Left reveres its Wilsonian attitude toward the Constitution, one that is so hostile and contemptuous, all the while using the judiciary to assert that the Constitution mandates certain policies? Josh Blackman of the National Review does a great job at explaining how the Left uses “multiple friendly forums” (i.e. the 9th Circuit and District Court judges in California), as part of its plan to “resist.” Think about it: if liberals file suit against a Trump agenda item in multiple courts where loose constructionists are at the helm, then it looks as if the Trump agenda is suffering a hemorrhagic defeat.

Left-wing millennials might continue with their struggle against Trump, but there is good news. Trump’s judges are younger originalists who will serve on the bench for much longer, and even liberals admit as much. The millennials of the Left will have a lot to be fearful of as attractive, young judges appointed by Trump assert their influence in the federal judiciary — and their fear is a good thing.
