President Trump rightly fired the court-appointed U.S. Attorney in Seattle within an hour of federal judges installing their preferred prosecutor. This restores presidential control over federal law enforcement and blocks an obvious judicial attempt to place an independent operator in a critical district. The episode exposes how activist benches are expanding their reach into core executive functions. The Constitution vests all executive power in the President under Article II, including authority over those who prosecute federal crimes. Judges selecting U.S. Attorneys violates separation of powers and the original design that kept the judiciary from building its own enforcement apparatus. Such appointments turn prosecutors into unaccountable agents rather than officers serving at the pleasure of the elected executive. Trump’s action defends the people’s right to direct their own government through the ballot box.
