The Judicial Coup Is Collapsing

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.

From the article:
"These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them."
Why? Because they're black robe Notseez.

I fear the President's own actions in signing dozens of "argumentative" Executive Orders, which do not carry the weight of law, except within the Executive Branch of Government, are becoming rather trifling to the Supreme Court. Through such, the Court may well develop lividity with the President's "goading" of the political left and their lawfare proponents using left-leaning, "activist" Federal Court Judges through his unambiguous "trolling" via yet another Executive Order. It's difficult to say whether the Supremes are angered with the POTUS, or with the numerous leftist Judges, many of whom have little judicial temperament, much less restraint.

it’s unlawful for federal judges to comment on the rules of appeals courts or Supreme Court these rogue judges are the problem. Not only are the usurping presidential authority with their injunctions, they are completely disrespecting the law by criticizing the Supreme Court when they should have their mouth shut. I would like to see an investigation, identifying these judges and removing them.

Obama appointed hundreds of left wing activist judges who are ruling on cases not by the law, but their own personal biases or by what Soros Inc. tells them to do.
There needs to be a mechanism in place to remove judges who refuse to enforce the laws of the land.

"appointees who think of themselves as the last line of defense in a Manichean struggle between good and evil "
They think of themselves as superior to the will of the voters. They are anti republican (selected by the people) government and thereby anti Constitutional. They have broken their oath to uphold the Constitution and should be impeached.
The SCOTUS has been loath, mostly due to Roberts disappointing weakness, to set strong, broad declarations and constraints on Leftist judicial power. The circuit court judges have so abused the injunction process that the SCOTUS had to make a strong declarative statement against universal injunctions, pulling the Leftist circuit court judges teeth. They abused the system and got called on it.
So now, the Leftist judges are doing what the Left always does when their antics are curtailed. They whine. They cast spurious accusations. It's surprising they don't dress in pink robes and carry pink gavels.
And, they are already probing the actions they might still use to RESIST TRUMP, even though it is not their JOB to resist Trump, it is to decide the law; something they have abandoned. The SCOTUS's clear ruling on injunctions makes it easier for appeals courts to strike down the circuit's rulings, as has happened, so that is going to stop soon.
Unfortunately, these judges will continue to be non-biting gnats, annoying but impotent. Their avenues of action will be further reduced until only the most arrogant of them are still taking dumb actions. Being continually overruled is not a good thing to have on your record.

Activist Judges who don't follow the Code of Conduct of Federal Judges
(( https://www.uscourts.gov/administration-policies/judiciary-policies/ethics-policies/code-conduct-united-states-judges ))
should be fast-tracked OFF the Bench and into ignominy with a big scarlet letter on their foreheads. If the Supreme Court won't do this then Congress must implement some type of removal procedure when these types are identified. Otherwise, our Federal Judicial System will become untrustworthy, yea, even traitorous.

Obama and Biden conducted routine business through executive order and nobody said a word about how they passed their garbage ideology off on the American people. Some of Biden's Autopen decrees he didn't even know about. The scarlet letter stamped on these judges should be an "A" but this time around it would not mean "adulteress."

I've long advocated for a 3 strikes and you're out law for federal judges. If overturned three times, the judge is summarily removed from office. Congress is authorized to do this because the Constitution states a judge can be removed for bad behavior. That can be interpreted as displaying incompetence and ignorance of federal law. Overturned three times? Gross incompetence.

Conservatives respect the Constitution and its separation of powers and only challenge Democrat EOs in court when they exceed Executive authority. Progressive Democrats seek to disrupt all conservative policies and seek Courts of like mind.
It it obvious that conservatives respect law and order while the progressives will use any means to gain power and maintain supremacy over we hoi polloi
It is not ironic that these obstructionist judges are "democrats", it is expected as
democrats are not democratic. The Democrats should re-brand as the Judicials.

Absent a Congress willing to impeach and remove these judicial obstructionists the best we can hope for is a Supreme Court that refuses to waste time explaining why obviously baseless rulings are baseless. Hopefully courts of appeals will follow their example. Compare their demand for anonymity with Appeals Court Justice James C. Ho's recent criticism, in a published opinion, to a Supreme Court decision remanding a case. They couldn't follow his example because their actions were legally indefensible.

If the Democrats really mean it when they say, “We don’t have any Kings (or Queens) ruling the country!”, they should be up in arms about all the partisan district judges issuing universal restraining orders against President Trumps policies. But, no, they are not. Instead, they support this unlawful usurpation of the President’s authority. Such regal justices should be disbarred.

There are 677 authorized district court judges. Twelve of them speak together, and it is national news.
