Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett has asserted that the Democrats inadvertently provided President Donald Trump with a significant advantage by challenging nearly every major action he undertook in court.
According to Western Journal, the Trump administration was inundated with hundreds of lawsuits from Democrats and their allies, a strategy that ultimately backfired. During an appearance on "The Evening Edit," Jarrett explained that the Democrats' legal defeats not only removed obstacles to Trump's policies but also resulted in rulings that broadened presidential authority.
"Its a smorgasbord of stupid. But the biggest was that Democrats sued Trump over everything, and it boomeranged against them big time," Jarrett remarked to host Elizabeth MacDonald. He further noted, "Yeah, they had some early wins, but when they ultimately lost in the higher courts, the rulings had the unintended effect of vastly expanding Trumps presidential powers."
Jarrett emphasized that the Democrats' persistent legal challenges not only failed but also fundamentally shifted the balance of power in favor of Trump. "His biggest victory was ending the nationwide injunctions that had tried to block his policies. Thats all gone now. Theyve neutered the district court judges," he stated.
Jarrett highlighted Trump's significant victories on issues such as amnesty, transgender policies, third-country removals, immigration enforcement, and the cessation of DEI funding. "And hes poised to win the right to fire people at executive agencies," Jarrett added. "So in all, hes actually racked up 21 Supreme Court wins, according to my count. And poised to win more, all of it thanks to Democrats who mistakenly challenged his authority, and they lost."
The Trump administration is concluding the year with an impressive record at the Supreme Court. Data indicates that the administration succeeded in approximately 20 emergency appeals in 2025, with only a few setbacks. These victories enabled the government to advance policies that restrict passport changes linked to gender identity and limit transgenderism in the military.
The Supreme Court's decisions also facilitated the president's ability to remove federal employees and dismiss Democratic appointees on independent agency boards. Immigration enforcement benefited as well, with rulings allowing for renewed third-country removals, the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, and the cessation of parole programs that had protected hundreds of thousands of migrants.
