Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted on PBS this week that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.”
Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists.
In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved.
And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all on national television.
Appearing on PBS NewsHour, the far-left New York Democrat couldn’t resist gloating about the left’s scheme.
When host Geoff Bennett asked if the nation is facing a “constitutional crisis,” Schumer didn’t hesitate to spill the beans.
Geoff Bennett:
There are those who believe that we are, in real time, living through an assault on the constitutional order. Do you believe that we are in a constitutional crisis right now?Chuck Schumer:
Yes. Our democracy is at risk because Donald Trump shows that he wishes to violate the laws in many, many different ways. The good news here is, we did put 235 judges—progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump—last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.We hope that the appellate courts, when it gets up there in the Supreme Court, will uphold those rulings. They restored the money to NIH. They required that 8,000 federal employees have to come back. We’re in over 100 lawsuits against them, and we are having a good deal of success. It’s only at the lower court level right now.

Chuck Schumer admits the quiet part out loud— Democrat-appointed judges are really activists who are there to stop Trump:

There it is—the quiet part out loud. Schumer didn’t even bother hiding the fact that these “progressive judges” were installed for one reason: to weaponize the judiciary against President Trump.
Conservative leaders were quick to call out this blatant abuse of power. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) took to X, writing: “‘Progressive judges’ That doesn’t mean ‘judges who follow the law.’ It means progressive activists wearing black robes.”
“Progressive judges”
That doesn’t mean “judges who follow the law”
It means progressive activists wearing black robes

Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) was even more direct: “Here you have Schumer admitting that they put progressive judges in place for the explicit purpose of ruling against Trump. It’s all coordinated and intentional. Congress must act.”
