Victor Davis Hanson: The Judges Are the New Kings

What do you call it when unelected judges override the will of 340 million people? Victor Davis Hanson has an answer — and it’s not “democracy.”

From the moment Trump announced his return, an army of lawyers, funders, and partisan judges were already in position. Preloaded lawsuits. Preselected courts. Prewritten narratives. This wasn’t a reaction — it was a plan. And the rulings? Predictable, inflated, political. Fines in the hundreds of millions. Gag orders. Ballot battles. Media cheerleading every blow.

But this isn't about Trump anymore — it’s about who really runs the country. A popular president is hemmed in by an unpopular class: university deans, bureaucrats, media czars, foundation elites. They don’t win elections. They just cancel the results.

And in the middle of it all? The American voter — gaslit, silenced, sidelined.

Hanson doesn’t ask for outrage. He demands clarity: either this ends with constitutional correction, or the curtain’s closing on the republic as we knew it.
