The following article, Trump 16 to Zero Against Leftists with SCOTUS, was first published on The Black Sphere.
The Left’s Legal Waterloo
If there’s one thing more predictable than a CNN panel melting down over a Trump victory, it’s the U.S. Supreme Court handing the Left another L. And not just any L—a humiliating, precedent-smashing, bureaucratic-gutting L. The score? Trump 16, Leftists 0.
That’s right. Sixteen times, the Left has dragged Trump before the highest court in the land, and sixteen times, they’ve walked away looking like they just tried to arm-wrestle a hydraulic press. The latest knockout? The Court just gave Trump the green light to boot three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), reinforcing the president’s authority to clean house in the executive branch.
But this isn’t just another win—it’s part of a pattern. A pattern of Leftist legal Hail Mary’s getting swatted down like a drunk uncle’s attempt at grilling advice. And the reason is simple: Trump operates on common sense, while the Left operates on bureaucratic bloat and judicial wish-casting.
Why Trump Keeps Winning
The Left’s strategy has been embarrassingly transparent: sue Trump in friendly lower courts, where Obama and Biden-appointed judges rubber-stamp their nonsense, then pray SCOTUS doesn’t notice. But the Court has noticed—and it’s not impressed.
From immigration enforcement to regulatory rollbacks to protecting women’s sports from biological men, Trump’s agenda keeps getting validated. Why? Because the Constitution actually means something, and the Court’s pseudo-conservative majority (yes, we’re side-eyeing you, Roberts) has, for once, mostly stuck to the text rather than Leftist vibes.
This latest ruling was no different. The DOJ argued—correctly—that the president has broad authority to remove executive branch officials, even from so-called “independent” agencies. The Court agreed, brushing aside the hysterical dissent from the liberal wing (Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson), who acted as if Trump had just set fire to the Constitution itself.
Justice Kagan, in her trademark “the sky is falling” style, claimed the ruling “effectively expunged” the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent, which limited presidential removal power. But here’s the thing: if your legal argument relies on a 90-year-old case that lets unelected bureaucrats run wild, maybe it’s time for a new argument.
The CPSC: A Case Study in Government Bloat
Let’s talk about the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the latest casualty in Trump’s war on bureaucratic waste. According to DOGE, the CPSC is tasked with protecting consumers from dangerous products—a noble goal, in theory. In practice? It’s a bloated, redundant, innovation-stifling mess.
Here’s why Trump was right to scale it back:
-
High Operational Costs – The CPSC burns through $140 million a year to oversee thousands of products. Meanwhile, private entities like Underwriters Laboratories (UL) already do rigorous safety testing—without taxpayer funding.
-
Overlapping Responsibilities – The FDA, EPA, and other agencies already regulate many of the same products. This isn’t safety—it’s bureaucratic turf wars.
-
Market Delays – The CPSC’s sluggish approval process means higher costs for manufacturers and fewer options for consumers.
-
Private-Sector Alternatives – Companies have a vested interest in not killing their customers. Where they fail, lawsuits (not more government) can hold them accountable.
-
Limited Enforcement – Despite its budget, the CPSC can’t possibly monitor every product. So why pretend?
The dissent’s argument? “But the CPSC is critical!”
Sure, and so is my coffee maker—but that doesn’t mean the government should run it.
The Left’s Judicial Tantrums
The funniest part of all this? The Left’s meltdown over the “shadow docket.” Suddenly, after years of cheering activist judges legislating from the bench, Democrats are very concerned about procedural fairness.
Kagan’s dissent whined that the Court ruled “on a short fuse, without full briefing.”
Translation: “We didn’t get to filibuster with our usual nonsense!”
But emergency rulings exist for a reason—to stop lower courts from hijacking presidential authority while lawsuits drag on for years.
Bet the farm that if this were a Biden win, the Left would be popping champagne.
The Bigger Picture: Trump’s Unbeaten Streak
This isn’t just about the CPSC. It’s about who controls the government. The Left wants a permanent, unaccountable bureaucracy that outlasts every administration. Trump (and the Court) are saying: Not so fast.
From rolling back transgender insanity to ending DACA’s constitutional abuses, Trump’s judicial wins prove one thing: The Constitution still works when judges actually read it.
And the Left? They’re stuck in a loop: Sue, lose, repeat.
Final Score: Trump 16, Leftists 0
Will the Left ever get a real win? Sure—in the same way a participation trophy is a “win.” Temporary victories, followed by humiliating reversals.
Meanwhile, Trump’s record speaks for itself. Sixteen straight Supreme Court wins. The Left keeps swinging, but the ref keeps raising Trump’s hand.
Maybe it’s time they try a new strategy. Or, better yet—maybe it’s time they give up.
