. . . or the US Constitution and that they intend to replace it with an authoritarian dictatorship, hoping you won't notice, believe them...
EDIT UPON REQUEST. This is NOT an exact quote and is misleading - sort of. But not really!
The actual quote is:
America cannot function if President Trump, or any president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.

So, it DOES appear that her attitude is that the Judicial branch has no role in checking the power of the Executive in our Constitutional Republic in any context whatsoever - trade, immigration - anything. If that's the case, then WE DON'T HAVE A REPUBLIC.
And that is what Trump, Leavitt, and this entire crime syndicate are trying to change right under our noses, hoping no one will notice.
I'M NOTICING.
Leavitt has blasted judges for checking Trump's power on tariffs, on immigration, on EVERYTHING so far. EVERYTHING.
Someone should ask her: "In what context do you believe judges in America can check or curtail the power of the President?". I suspect her answer would be very interesting because it's clear that she believes that there is no context in which judges can do that.
SO, while it is clear she didn't say what the quote in this OP implies in those same words, THAT IS HER ATTITUDE. And it is Trump's attitude.
FACT: The Constitution was written so that the Judicial Branch could check the power of the Executive and the Legislative Branches. Likewise, the other two branches can check the power of the remaining two. That is their role in our Constitutional Republic. She is insisting that it is not their role. But it is and always has been since this country was founded. If that is no longer their role, as she insists, then we HAVE NO REPUBLIC.
IS THERE A REASON the media cannot say this? Because they're not. BUT I AM.
It's a valid complaint that the quote is not verbatim ie: she didn't say that exactly. I appreciate that DUers caught that, and that's why I'm correcting this post - but I am not removing it because people need to recognize what's going on here. The intent is precisely the same, even if the words differ.
SHE DID SAY THAT and has been saying it for quite a while now.
As explained below, we can see that she is pretty much saying the same thing as the quote above, though not verbatim.
"Leavitt has repeatedly claimed that federal judges have no jurisdiction over the presidents ability to conduct foreign policy matters, rendering them powerless to rule against his illegal deportation policies. Earlier this week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to back up the administrations efforts to remove immigrants to countries where they did not originate, after a federal judge ruled that he couldnt deport individuals to South Sudan if they werent from there. Leavitt has also railed against the judge who paused Trumps deportations under the Alien Enemies Act."
