The U.S. Judiciary: A Modern-Day Trojan Horse?

Democrats admit they packed the lower federal courts with "liberal" activists, which may explain why the executive and legislative branches are how engaged in a war against the judiciary.

After losing the presidency and both houses of Congress in 2024, Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said he wasn’t worried because Democrats had packed the lower federal courts with “liberal” judges during the four-year term of Democratic President Joseph Biden.

He boasted that Biden got 235 judges appointed -more than a quarter of the federal judiciary - and that these judges would be a bulwark against the Trump administration.

Schumer’s plan was a twist on a strategy used successfully thousands of years ago by the Greeks in the Trojan War.

The Greeks built a massive hollow wooden horse to gain entry to Troy during the Trojan War. They gave the horse to the Trojans, saying it was an offering to the goddess of war, Athena. Then they pretended to sail home. But a contingent of Greek soldiers were hiding inside the horse. When the Trojans wheeled the horse through Troy’s impregnable gates, the Greek soldiers emerged and slaughtered the Trojans.

Schumer envisioned the Biden judges as the Greek soldiers.

The Biden nominated judges were appointed by the U.S. Senate to serve impartially, and to rule based upon the facts and the law. But they were picked by Democrats to protect Biden’s legacy. There can be little doubt that Biden’s judges have formed a bulwark against the undeniable mandate that Trump received in the 2024 election - to reduce the size of federal government and to deport illegal immigrants.

Today, the three branches of the U.S. government are at a war in which the executive and legislative branches are pitted against the judicial branch.
