Let's call this what it is: an attempt by a single judge in the District of Columbia to usurp the power of the executive simply because he doesn't like the substance of the administration's arguments. But the only argument the administration needs is: "because."

The Left prefers to implement its policy preferences via the courts, because it only takes a handful, or even one, to overturn the will of the people. But our system of government as founded -- and as re-articulated by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address -- is devoted to the proposition that here the people rule via their elected representatives, not judges.
