An analysis conducted by Just Security has revealed a stark reality for those following the endless legal battles waged against President Donald Trump: a whopping 75% of the judges weighing in on these challenges were appointed by Democrats. This revelation raises eyebrows and calls into question the integrity of the judiciary amidst a politically charged climate, showcasing a trend that many might deem as “judge shopping.”
The eyebrows should be particularly high given that out of the federal district court judges involved in these cases, only a scant 20 were appointed by Republican presidents. The odds are decidedly stacked against the Trump administration when muddling through the legal labyrinth, as evidenced by a plethora of restraining orders coming from predominantly Democrat-appointed judges. This tactic seems designed to exploit the system to achieve predetermined outcomes against the former president’s policy agenda.
Three-quarters of judges hearing challenges to Trump actions appointed by Democrats, analysis finds
Question what is the punishment of judges for their crimes? Or can they be LAWLESS?

The situation is illustrated by the case of Judge Ana Reyes, another fine example of partisan influence, who blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to prohibit transgender individuals from serving in the military. Appointed by Joe Biden himself, Reyes has displayed a penchant for supporting leftist causes. Such behavior hints at a broader trend where judicial appointments are being weaponized to thwart policies put forth by an elected president.
Equally interesting is Judge James Boasberg, another product of the Obama administration, who upheld efforts to deport criminal foreign nationals. Despite that, he attended a conference financed by a group opposing Trump’s immigration policies. It seems that Boasberg, like many of his left-leaning counterparts, occupies a seat that should operate impartially yet appears to be swayed by outside influences – a troubling sign for fairness in the judicial process.
In response to these systemic issues, the U.S. House has moved to pass legislation aimed at preventing federal district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Sponsored by Representative Darrell Issa, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 aims to restore balance to the federal judiciary and curb the excesses that have become all too common in these politically charged courtrooms. It’s a proactive measure meant to ensure that judges remember their role as interpreters of the law, not political players operating behind a bench.
If there’s one thing this analysis exposes, it’s the undeniable reality that when it comes to Trump’s legal challenges, the scales of justice have been tipped in favor of the left. As the legal wrangling continues, one can’t help but wonder how this judicial bias will affect the rule of law and the future of governance in the United States. The trajectory looks grim if the judiciary remains a playground for political agendas rather than a bastion of balanced justice.
