House Rep Discusses Plan To Take On Activist Judges

Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack laid out a plan to confront activist judges during her appearance on Fox Business Thursday.

Biden-appointed Judge Ana Reyes on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military, halting its enforcement, pending a final ruling. During an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Cammack said Congressional action is necessary, adding that the legislative body has neglected its duty to oversee the judiciary, despite having established the lower courts as delineated in Article 2 of the Constitution.

“We have abdicated our authority, even though Article 2 clearly delineates that to the Supreme Court in the judiciary. But it was actually Congress that established the inferior courts, the lower courts and everything about them,” Cammack said. “So we have an obligation to conduct oversight. The last time we took action was back in 1911. So we need to step up as members of Congress and make sure that we don’t have these activist judges that are taking over and pushing for a political agenda.”

Cammack then discussed the Regulations from the Executive In Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, a potent legislative measure that she says is aimed at curbing bureaucratic overreach and restoring power to the electorate.

“This is why we need the REINS Act. The REINS Act is the biggest, baddest swamp-draining, empower the people bill out there. We need to get this across the finish line so that it’s back to ‘We the people,’ not the bureaucrats, because nothing scares these swamp creatures more than an informed, motivated, educated and engaged electorate,” Cammack said.
