Last Friday, President Trump signed into law our historic legislation to deliver safety and prosperity for the American people. Every Democrat in this Chamber voted against it. So, once again, Democrats do what they do: They turn to the courts to try to undo what Congress has done. This time, it is about the government funding of Planned Parenthood. Now, we just heard the minority leader come to the floor and say: People want fair judges who will uphold the law. By Monday afternoon, Democrats had filed a lawsuit in Boston, MA, challenging the very law that was just signed on the Fourth of July. Now, I have spoken about this Massachusetts district court in the past. Look, this is one of the Democrats' favorite venues when they want to obstruct the law--the law of the land. That is because 11 of the 13 judges were appointed by Democrat Presidents. Well, by Monday evening, an unelected district court judge appointed by President Obama granted a temporary injunction--there they go again, another temporary injunction--blocking the law of the land. The judge did not issue a legal opinion or explain her decision. Instead, this one, lone judge, who has a history of radical rulings and partisan activism from the bench, halted the duly enacted law. As a result, millions of taxpayer dollars could be forced to be spent. This is money that taxpayers will never be able to recover.
