Democrats and their media allies are melting down after the Supreme Court delivered a major win for President Trump and voters sick of unelected judges acting like mini-presidents. The 6-3 ruling stripped lower court judges of their ability to issue nationwide injunctions—one of the left’s favorite tools for blocking conservative policies when they lose elections.

For years, Democrats have used friendly district court judges in leftist strongholds to block conservative laws from coast to coast, despite those judges having jurisdiction only in their own regions. The Supreme Court finally stepped in, reminding the judiciary that they aren’t a shadow government running the country when the left doesn’t get its way.

Naturally, MSNBC took the ruling as a personal affront. Legal analyst Melissa Murray claimed the Supreme Court had delivered a “death blow to the rule of law.” In reality, it’s a death blow to the left’s strategy of judge-shopping to block Trump’s agenda while ignoring the will of voters.

As Justice Amy Coney Barrett made clear in her sharp rebuke of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Constitution’s checks and balances apply to judges too. No district court judge gets to act as a one-person Congress and president simply because Democrats are losing the arguments.

But the panic wasn’t confined to cable news studios. Over on Bluesky, a parade of leftist voices, including New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, raged over the ruling while misunderstanding its actual content. The Supreme Court didn’t even rule on birthright citizenship, but facts didn’t seem to matter as the left scrambled to reframe the narrative to keep their base angry.

This meltdown proves exactly how reliant Democrats have become on activist judges to push their agenda when voters reject it. Instead of persuading Americans or winning elections, the left has tried to govern by legal ambush—finding a friendly judge in a blue district and imposing their policies nationwide.

Now, with the Supreme Court cutting off this shortcut, Democrats are facing a reality they can’t handle: If they want to control the country, they’ll need to convince the American people, not rely on backroom judicial maneuvers.

The ruling is a massive win for the Trump administration’s efforts to restore constitutional order. It’s a message to Americans that elections matter, and it’s a signal that the era of one district judge dictating national policy is finally coming to an end.

While Democrats rage on MSNBC and cry on Bluesky, voters can take comfort knowing the Supreme Court has reminded the left that power in America doesn’t belong to a handful of judges or liberal activists—it belongs to the people.
