In a WorldNetDaily column yesterday, “Trump Must Break Judicial Power,” Pat Buchanan wrote that President Trump should emulate Andrew Jackson and challenge the courts after a federal judge, and later an appeals court panel, ruled against the president’s executive order on foreign nationals entering the country.

Buchanan lashed out at judges who try to “seize powers they do not have” as “usurpers and petty tyrants.” He urged “the populist right” to take on the judicial branch that, according to Buchanan, “tore our country apart with idiotic busing orders to achieve racial balance in public schools,” gave “new rights for vicious criminals,” “de-Christianized our country” and “turned over centuries of tradition” with its rulings on abortion rights and marriage equality.

“Trump has warned the judges that if they block his travel ban, and this results in preventable acts of terror on American soil, they will be held accountable. As rightly they should,” he wrote. “Meanwhile, Trump’s White House should use the arrogant and incompetent conduct of these federal judges to make the case not only for creating a new Supreme Court, but for Congress to start using Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution – to restrict the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and to reclaim its stolen powers. A clipping of the court’s wings is long overdue.”

Two vocal Trump allies, Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee, have similarly called for a fight with the judiciary.
