The latest in judicial activism found a Biden-appointed judge seemingly declaring the country \u201cbelongs to any random alien on planet earth\u201d after blocking an executive order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have foreign judges telling us we can\u2019t secure our elections \u2026 What are we even doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

Election integrity has arguably proven to be the best representation of Congress\u2019s abysmal favorability rating. But the Senate\u2019s inability to pass the SAVE America Act despite overwhelming bipartisan support isn\u2019t the only problem, as U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan struck down an executive order from President Donald Trump claiming rights have been \u201ctrampled\u201d and citizens have been removed from voter rolls.<\/p>\n

Following a March order<\/a> from the president that sought to team the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security in compiling a database of eligible voters to work toward cleaning up rolls, the League of Women Voters filed suit. Monday, the Trinidadian and Tobagonian-born Sooknanan blocked the order, deeming it unlawful, as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reacted, \u201cJudge Sparkle decrees that America belongs to any random alien on planet earth, just like our founders intended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within her opinion<\/a>, the judge argued that following the creation of a State Citizenship List, \u201cstates have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens,\u201d she went on.<\/p>\n

In her view, the order that relies on naturalization records and Systemic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) data to in part restrict delivery of mail-in ballots exclusively to approved voters violates the Administrative Procedure Act, Privacy Act, and Social Security Act.<\/p>\n

Sooknanan\u2019s ruling comes amid the broader fight on election integrity that has found RINOs in the Senate failing to take the steps necessary to use congressional rules in their favor to pass the SAVE America Act, thus ensuring only American citizens are authorized to register to vote in federal elections.<\/p>\n

Raising that perspective,\u00a0DHS general counsel James Percival posted to X, \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how hard the Left will fight to stop us from solving problems they insist do not exist. Judge Sparkle Soknanan\u2019s [sic] latest ruling preventing DHS from addressing alien voting is just the latest example.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t alone as Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R) \u2014 an unrelenting voice in favor of the SAVE America Act \u2014 likewise opined, \u201cJudge Sparkle Sooknanan worries about citizens being removed from voter rolls. But instead of requiring safeguards or heightened review, she shut down the expanded SAVE database used by states to check their rolls for noncitizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not protecting voters,\u201d insisted the senator. \u201cIt\u2019s weakening election integrity. Time to appeal this ruling (or perhaps seek an extraordinary writ of mandamus)\u2013and pass the SAVE America Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other voices decried the judicial activism, particularly as the block against the president was coming from a judge who hadn\u2019t even been in America a full decade.<\/p>\n

A foreign-born judge who has only been a citizen for seven (!) years should not have this much power over our elective process.<\/p>\n

Voters elected Trump. He should be given wide latitude to enact what they voted for. https:\/\/t.co\/h4aWhcsUe7<\/a><\/p>\n

Why does a foreign born, dual citizen judge get to determine federal policy? Since SS#s are federally issued ID, why cant they review them for legitimacy? She\u2019s another leftist flack. Deport.<\/p>\n

When are we going to stop tolerating them and do something to remove them from riding on our backs?<\/p>\n
