Lummis, Barrasso, Hageman lead reply to jurists demanding condemnation of Trump

In an exclusive report by Fox News, GOP lawmakers from Wyoming are standing firm against attacks on conservative judges by left-wing activists. The response, led by Sen. Cynthia Lummis, rejects calls for condemnation of Trump allies and emphasizes the importance of upholding the Constitution.

The lawmakers cited Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper 78, where he wrote that judges have “neither force nor will” and should not impose their policy preferences on the country. They also referenced Georgetown Law professor Brad Snyder, who stated that the Court does not have the final say on the Constitution.

Sen. Lummis emphasized that the people of Wyoming support President Trump’s agenda and want elected representatives to make laws, not liberal judges. The delegation refuses to be influenced by judicial activists seeking to divide the country.

The response comes after more than 100 jurists, including former Wyoming Democratic Gov. Michael Sullivan, criticized lawmakers for failing to defend judges under attack from conservatives. The jurists raised concerns about attacks on the judiciary and urged lawmakers to uphold the rule of law.

In their response, Sen. Lummis, Sen. John Barrasso, and Rep. Harriet Hageman condemned the jurists for not discussing their concerns directly and instead resorting to the media. The lawmakers emphasized their legislative role in addressing challenges facing the nation, including co-sponsoring a bill to ban nationwide injunctions.

The legislation highlighted by the lawmakers has received support from both conservative and liberal Supreme Court justices, who have expressed reservations about nationwide injunctions. Despite criticisms from some jurists, the lawmakers remain committed to upholding the Constitution and ensuring a fair and impartial judiciary.

Overall, the response from Wyoming’s congressional delegation underscores the importance of respecting the separation of powers and upholding the rule of law. As the debate over the role of judges in our democracy continues, it is crucial for lawmakers to engage in constructive dialogue and work towards a more unified and equitable judicial system.
