WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and John Barrasso (R-WY), and Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY) issued a response to liberal former judges and lawyers attempting to publicly pressure the delegation into falsely condemning President Trump and allowing judges to continue blocking the agenda more than 70% of Wyoming residents support.
After receiving the letter through a press release, the delegation thought it necessary to respond and make it clear that unelected judges imposing their policy biases on our nation without democratic legitimacy is unacceptable to the people of Wyoming.
“The Supreme Court has consistently noted that political questions should be kept at arm’s length by the judiciary,” the delegation wrote. “Unelected judges imposing their policy biases on our nation without democratic legitimacy are the root cause of today’s controversy. Our Constitution impels all members of the judicial branch to administer justice with impartiality. Congress is using the power granted to it under Article III of the U.S. Constitution to ensure courts fulfill their core mission of providing impartial justice based on the law, not narrow partisan preferences.”
