Have federal district judges peaked? Democrat judges, especially Biden judges, have been issuing insane rulings trying to stop President Trump from doing pretty much anything. These rulings are so bad that even Justice Kagan, hardly a Trump pal, was baffled by them.
I’ve argued that these rulings are literal lawfare, there’s no pretense that these various blocks are even legal, they’re there to force Trump to go to the Supreme Court. And then the Supreme Court, especially its weakest man, Chief Justice Roberts to mull over what the cocktail party set will say and cringe over being accused of being a rubber stamp for Trump. Meanwhile, each rulings ‘builds’ the Dem case for packing the Supreme Court.
In short, this is a multi-pronged judicial sabotage operation that has nothing in common with jurisprudence.
Now NBC News has interviews with a dozen ‘anonymous’ federal judges who are attacking the Supreme Court. Why are they anonymous?
“All 12 judges spoke on condition that they not be identifiable, some because it is considered unwise to publicly criticize the justices who ultimately decide whether to uphold their rulings and others because of the risk of threats.”
That’s absolute nonsense. Supreme Court justices are not going to change their rulings to punish institutional criticism. The judges want to be anonymous because they’re contemplating one day scoring a SCOTUS appointment and don’t want to be asked about this by Senator Faux Performative (R – Sorta) in a made-for-Youtube clip before he votes to go ahead and move on anyway.
Another reason for keeping the names anonymous is that some of them may not exist. (Would the media lie to us? Never!)
Finally, this is just the reflexive political operation by Dem big government employees who set up their ‘resistance’ cells during Term 1.
These people are not judges, they’re operatives.
The Supreme Court, a second judge said, is effectively assisting the Trump administration in “undermining the lower courts,” leaving district and appeals court judges “thrown under the bus.”
The Supreme Court has an obligation to explain rulings in a way the public can understand, a third judge said, adding that when the court so frequently rules for the administration in emergency cases without fully telling people why, it sends a signal. The court has had strong left-leaning majorities in the past, but what is different now is the role emergency cases are playing in public discourse.
Maybe federal judges should not be constantly granting emergency pleas from the ACLU and other leftist lawfare groups to block Trump actions on a global scale.
This is an abuse that the Supreme Court is being forced to constantly counter only to have fed judges then complain that the Court is rapidly countering their moves with little explanation.
This is Cloward-Piven stuff meant to break the Supreme Court.
A judge appointed by President Barack Obama said that while the Supreme Court could do more to explain itself, some lower court judges had been out of line in blocking Trump policies.
“Certainly, there is a strong sense in the judiciary among the judges ruling on these cases that the court is leaving them out to dry,” he said. “They are partially right to feel the way they feel.”
But, the judge added, “the whole ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ is a real issue. As a result, judges are mad at what Trump is doing or the manner he is going about things; they are sometimes forgetting to stay in their lane.”
Sure, some may be mad, but this is a deliberate coordinated tactic, not just emotion. And some of the fed judges behaving this way, again especially Biden appointees, show no signs of understanding laws or lanes.
“Judges in the trenches need, and deserve, well-reasoned, bright-line guidance,” a judge said. “Too often today, sweeping rulings arrive with breathtaking speed but minimal explanation, stripped of the rigor that full briefing and argument provide.”
Please. Spare us.
Federal judges grotesquely abuse their authority in unprecedented ways and then pretend that they lack guidance from the Supreme Court. This George Constanza “Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?” is pathetic playacting.
“A judge who spoke to NBC News expressed frustration that judges’ role in the judicial system is being undermined by the Supreme Court’s frequent interventions, before there has been extensive litigation and, potentially, a trial.
“It’s very discouraging,” the judge said. “We are operating in a bit of a vacuum.”
Federal judges have a role in deciding cases, not in issuing nationwide blocks every time Trump does something.
It’s district judges who are the ones sidelining “extensive litigation” and a trial by issuing their emergency blocks every time the ACLU sneezes and have the chutzpah to complain about shadow dockets and Supreme Court interference when they try to play shadow presidents.
The agenda here is a massive power grab. It’s a war against the Supreme Court, the Constitution and the rule of law.
