Kari Lake Suggests Trump Should Defy Courts: I'd Rather 'Follow The Constitution Than a Judge Who's Got an Agenda'

Source: MEDIAite

Apr 27th, 2025, 2:43 pm


Kari Lake, the Trump administration Senior Advisor for the US Agency for Global Media, suggested Sunday that President Donald Trump should defy court orders he views as politically motivated.

Appearing on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Lake criticized federal judges who have issued rulings blocking Trump’s executive actions on immigration, tariffs, and agency reforms.

She also accused the judiciary of attempting to “subvert the will of the people” through those rulings. “They’re completely out of control,” Lake told host Maria Bartiromo. “They are basically usurping the power of the president.”

Judges have issued temporary injunctions on immigration enforcement policies, halted tariff measures, and blocked efforts to slash jobs and funding for federal agencies, including the US Agency for Global Media. Several of these disputes are expected to advance to the Supreme Court. Lake, who oversees media entities such as Voice of America and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, said court rulings had delayed efforts to reshape her operation.

She has bachelor in communication degree and no training in the US laws & Constitution. She is just a well spoken person that reads a teleprompter on TV written by other people. IMHO.

They are the ones who interpret the laws of the land. They don't usurp the power of the president, they see to it that the president's power is limited by the rule of law.

Someone's out of control here, but it isn't the Judicial Branch.

Avoid making a fool of yourself. The Executive does not determine the rule of law. The Courts are there for that. Also, the Judicary does not subvert the will of the people. It is for the Congress to pass the laws that the people have asked for, not the Executive by penning Executive Orders. It is all right there in the Constitution. Just do as it demands. Right now you look like some kind of fool Lake. It is how the rule of law works. Get with it.
