Ever feel like you need a map just to find common sense these days? Some people seem determined to turn everything upside down, making simple things complicated and clear truths fuzzy. It’s enough to make your head spin!
Thankfully, President Donald Trump is working hard to set things straight. He’s all about bringing back good old American common sense. But, as you can imagine, not everyone is happy when things get put back in their proper order. Some leaders seem to prefer the confusion.
Well, the fight just got very real on a new front: our U.S. passports. President Trump took a strong stand. He signed an order called “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government.” This commonsense rule said that U.S. passports should show a person’s biological sex, plain and simple.
Trump’s Stand for Truth
Why did President Trump do this? It’s pretty straightforward. The order aimed to make sure our government recognizes basic facts – that there are two sexes, male and female. This isn’t just about words; it’s about safety and clarity.
The President’s order pointed out that “efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women.” It also said that “Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.” Sounds like common sense to most Americans.
The Usual Suspects: An Activist Judge Steps In
But just as President Trump took this clear step, a judge decided to get in the way. Biden-appointed U.S. Judge Julia Kobick in Boston blocked the President’s order. She said the policy was “arbitrary” and based on “prejudice.” This judge thinks it’s okay for passports to list things other than biological sex, even an “X.”
This ruling basically means the judge is trying to push a liberal agenda, ignoring the President’s efforts to restore biological truth to government documents. It’s another example of an activist judge trying to make policy from the bench, instead of letting the President do his job.
More Than Just One Judge: A Troubling Trend
And this isn’t the first time a judge has tried to stop the President. These kinds of broad orders from single judges, called nationwide injunctions, have become a big problem. They tie the President’s hands and block good policies.
Just listen to what Solicitor General John Sauer said about it. The Daily Wire reported his words:
From the Daily Wire:
“For the first 170 years of American jurisprudence, nationwide injunctions were virtually unknown…Their use remained sparing until this century, when they saw a dramatic upsurge in 2017, followed by an explosion in the last three months.”
“These injunctions exceed the district courts’ authority under Article III and gravely encroach on the President’s executive power under Article II. This Court’s intervention is urgently needed to restore the constitutional balance of separated powers.”
That’s a powerful warning. Thankfully, leaders like House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan are fighting back, trying to stop this “abuse of nationwide injunctive authority.”
This whole passport issue shows what’s at stake. It’s a fight for whether our country will be guided by simple, biological truth or by confusing, made-up ideas. President Trump is standing firm for reality, and it’s clear why we need leaders who aren’t afraid to speak the truth, even when activist judges try to silence it. We need a justice system that respects the law, not just the latest liberal fads.
