Trump Urges Supreme Court to Act After Judges Halt Policies: “These People Are Lunatics”
Date: 21-mar-2025
Trump Escalates Feud with Judiciary After Federal Rulings
U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fresh wave of criticism against the federal judiciary following a series of rulings in March 2025 that blocked key elements of his second-term agenda. In a fiery Truth Social post on March 20, 2025, Trump demanded that the U.S. Supreme Court intervene, calling the decisions “unlawful nationwide injunctions by Radical Left Judges” that threaten the nation’s future.
Why Trump is Upset
The president’s frustration arises from recent federal court decisions that have stalled his administration’s aggressive policy moves, including mass deportations of Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act and executive orders targeting federal agencies like the Department of Education. Trump asserts these rulings are politically motivated attempts to undermine his authority.
- A federal judge halted deportations of over 200 Venezuelan nationals, citing legal concerns.
- Courts blocked Trump’s order to dismantle the Department of Education, signed March 20, 2025.
- Trump claims these judicial actions are an unconstitutional overreach by “rogue judges.”
Trump’s Direct Appeal to the Supreme Court
On March 20, 2025, Trump urged the Supreme Court to limit federal judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions, a move echoed by his Justice Department in formal filings. While the Court typically requires a structured appeal process, Trump’s public demand—coupled with a call for Chief Justice John Roberts to act—has amplified tensions between the executive and judicial branches.
Legal and Political Reactions
Trump’s rhetoric has sparked sharp responses. Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement on March 18, 2025, defending judicial independence and rebuking calls to impeach judges, a tactic Trump and allies like Elon Musk have floated. Legal scholars warn that such attacks could destabilize trust in the judiciary, while Trump’s supporters argue the courts are obstructing a democratically elected president.
- Roberts emphasized that impeachment isn’t a remedy for judicial disagreement.
- Democrats accuse Trump of threatening the rule of law with his “war on the judiciary.”
- Republicans, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, back Trump’s push for Supreme Court relief.
Ongoing Legal Battles and Second-Term Agenda
Since his inauguration on January 20, 2025, Trump has faced over 127 lawsuits challenging his policies, from immigration crackdowns to mass federal layoffs. These judicial setbacks threaten his ambitious second-term goals—slashing government spending, rooting out DEI programs, and expanding executive power—all central to his 2024 campaign promises.

The escalating clash between Trump’s policy ambitions and federal court checks has fueled speculation of a constitutional crisis. His Supreme Court appeal aims to both reverse these rulings and rally his base by portraying the judiciary as an elitist barrier to his “America First” vision.
Conclusion:Donald Trump’s public showdown with the judiciary and appeal to the Supreme Court in March 2025 underscore a defining tension of his second presidency. As legal battles intensify, his confrontational stance is likely to sharpen, testing the resilience of America’s constitutional framework. Whether the Supreme Court—stacked with three of his appointees—will deliver the outcomes he seeks remains uncertain, but Trump’s influence continues to dominate the national stage.
