Here’s how the game works.
In Trump’s first administration, radical federal judges just issued rulings blocking government actions. As the second term admin has been more aggressive about pursuing Supreme Court interventions, federal district judges are issuing frivolous rulings intended to barrage SCOTUS with a constant need to intervene.
And that’s followed by complaints to the media that the Supreme Court is seizing too much power and undermining the judiciary.
Call it the ‘Cloward-Pivening’ of the federal court system.
Back in September, a dozen judges complained to NBC News. Anonymously.
Now the New York Times has topped that with ‘three dozen federal judges’ attacking the Supreme Court.
More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.
What’s happening here is a cynical political game in which federal judges coordinate with leftist activist groups like the ACLU and issue massive amounts of highly dubious rulings that the fairly small Supreme Court has to cope with and then they complain that the rulings are “opaque” and “confusing”.
Of course those rulings wouldn’t be necessary if those same judges allowed them to properly proceed instead of issuing their own emergency blocks based on their moods and politics.
The “emergency docket” keeps being used to block their emergency blocks. And then they go to the media and complain that they just don’t understand why the Supreme Court won’t let them usurp presidential authority.
“In interviews, federal judges called the Supreme Court’s emergency orders “mystical,” “overly blunt,” “incredibly demoralizing and troubling” and “a slap in the face to the district courts.” One judge compared their district’s current relationship with the Supreme Court to “a war zone.” Another said the courts were in the midst of a “judicial crisis.”
Wait. They’re both “opaque” and “overly blunt” and also “mystical.” Plus “demoralizing”.
At a hearing in September, Judge James A. Wynn Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit said his court was “out here flailing” as it tried to apply vague emergency rulings from the Supreme Court that left judges “in limbo.”
Wynn is an Obama appointee. (Surprise.) And the case was another of the coup Administrative Procedures Act which are at this point over 90% illegitimate efforts to use FDR era codes meant to allow the public to protest bureaucratic overreach to block presidential actions.
“They’re leaving the circuit courts, the district courts out in limbo,” Wynn protested . “We need to understand why you did it. We judges would just love to hear your reasoning as to why you rule that way. It makes our job easier. We will follow the law. We will follow the Supreme Court, but we’d like to know what it is we are following.”
How about “stop abusing the APA to block any Trump move you don’t like.” This was a case in which a government union was suing to block government reforms by the administration on APA grounds.
Wynn isn’t actually confused. Neither are any of the other judges trying to Cloward-Piven the Supreme Court. They’re trying to shatter the oversight of the Supreme Court in order to block an elected administration from fulfilling its promises.
Excellent coverage of the judicial situation.
Time to scrub the Federal Court system and reset it.
Thus firing all those activist clowns by the simple expedient of abolishing the positions they hold.
Some activist Federal district courts and Federal Appellate Courts are just unreasonable thinkers and many are winers because they don’t get their way !
“We need to understand why you did it. We judges would just love to hear your reasoning as to why you rule that way.” All they have to do is read the decisions. Actually, if any of these judges read the Constitution they would know why they are being overruled.
They don’t care.They are trying to circumvent the election and the role of president.
A pithier and more accurate locution would be “Clowning ‘n Pivoting”…’
And it’s anything but funny.
These Imperialists Globalists Judges should be totally removed from their Jobs and retired to a home for Useful Idiots
USLESS IDIOTS…
the Constitution rules this republic, not the opinions of useless robe-****** assholes
fuah:
You think so, huh? Far left democrats may have something to say about that. The last time I bothered to listen to them, they don’t like the Constitution, as written, all that much.
Maybe it will build to such a mess that PRESIDENT TRUMP will have no excuse to not invoke Martial Law and just take over until all the scum can be scraped! I doubt he’d do it, but I don’t see any other way to get scum out with so many “judges” and “da’s” in place! The DEMOcrats are playing FOR KEEPS – WE SHOULD TOO!
It is time to reform the entire federal court system.
It seems to me that these rogue judges are circumventing the US Constitution by attempting to assert judicial autocratic rule. Can they or will they succeed? The jury is out on that.
One thing I do know, if they do succeed then there will be no need for a congress or a Constitution. Why would we need a congress if judicial overlords can make laws for the bench? Laws we the people would be compelled to obey but have no say in. What use would a Constitution be in a judicial tyranny?
My last point is moot anyway since we the people have little to no say in the current laws being past. We like to think we do but we don’t.
Proof? When and where did we the people vote to give illegal aliens EBT cards, a monthly stipend (aka, welfare), free health care, free public housing, free college education, the right to vote, drivers licenses, etc., etc.?
The last time I checked, that issue wasn’t on my ballot. Or perhaps I’m just an illiterate mutt who can’t read and so missed it entirely.
Unenforceable nationwide injunctions against all things Trump by renegade federal District Court judges (the Supreme Court has nullified the practice) is not a sign of Democ-rat party strength. It’s the sound of Democ-rat political power circling the drain as President Trump proceeds apace. Screaming “jurists” are a sick joke.
Judges that abide by the U.S. Constitution not by the orders from Soros and his ilk
The fact is far left liberals don’t like the US Constitution as written because the US Constitution is a prohibition on what the government can and can’t do.
Said another way, the US Constitution limits the powers of government and liberals (and arguably pseudo conservatives) don’t like that because quite often the US Constitution is an impediment to the agenda of both political establishments and the bureaucrat state (aka deep state.) Some years ago, Obama gave a speech lamenting this fact.
They’d much prefer what suffices as a “Constitution” in European countries and other countries around the world. Constitutions that empowers the government while limiting the rights and freedoms of the people.
Our founding fathers wrote a Constitution that does the opposite. Liberals would do a re-write if given half a chance. The rhetoric more than demonstrates that fact.
The most infuriating least reported fact is that all of these rabid communist death democrat judges were approved to their judgeships with the willing acquiescence of Republican Senators out of courtesy to the incumbent presidents like Obama and Biden. I blame the Republican Senators.who should have stood up and used all available means to block these American hating communist judges. They betrayed our country and their voters which is standard operating procedure for the Republicans.
Simple. The Supremes believe in The Executive Theory.
Said another way, the Supremes still believe in three co-equal branches of government who should stay in their lane at all times. That’s true for now but if the dems ever get control again……
The problem is, democrat presidents only stay in their lane when they’re not pushing some leftist agenda (ACA, open borders, health care for illegal aliens, etc.) and democrat congresses only stay in their lane when they’re out of power.
Even so, they’ve already stacked the courts with like-minded leftist radicals in preparation for the day when they regain control of all three branches of government. Katie bar the door if and when that happens. The dems have a long long long payback list.
“What’s happening here is a cynical political game in which federal judges coordinate with leftist activist groups like the ACLU and issue massive amounts of highly dubious rulings that the fairly small Supreme Court has to cope with and then they complain that the rulings are “opaque” and “confusing”.”
Oh, to be Daniel Greenfield, and to simply make baseless empirical claims with no concern for veracity or impact. La di dah, Daniel!
Nearly every time one of these ridiculous rulings makes the news, you see that some leftist judge has written a one hundred plus pages, to explain his reasoning. Some poor clerk somewhere is going to have to that nonsense.
Congress has the authority to regulate the inferior federal courts and should address the Cloward Piven strategy current unfolding. See Article 1 Section 8 and Article III Section 1 of the Constitution.. The statutory authority for making federal court rules is the Rules Enabling Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2071-2077. Proposed rules and amendments are developed by the Judicial Conference of the US (which includes participants from DOJ), and proposed to the Supreme Court. I believe the Chief Justice is the sole decision-maker but I think he confers with the other justices (not sure on that point, but it would make sense to operate that way. SCOTUS sends its recommendations to Congress by May 1 each year. Congress can approve, reject or modify the SCOTUS recommendations. If Congress does not act by the end of the year, the new rules take effect. I believe the rules are actually not statutory in that they are not passed by Congress and signed by the President, but the rule-making process is circumscribed by statute and Congress has final authority over rules affecting the lower courts. Here is a link with more information.

I would like to see Mr. Greenfield discuss this.

Very insightful, accurate and timely article. Thie courts are only one flank of the left’s Cloward-Piven Strategy. The roving paid provocateurs going from city to city, campus to campus, overwhelming law enforcement throughout the country is also furthering the cause of tearing down the fabric of our shared institutional heritage. The left has zero interest in the details of any of their “protests.” The process of disruption is the measure of success. The financiers of all these efforts aim to tear the free, orderly, moral elements of society apart and rebuild their communist utopia from the ashes. Just look at a little history: Russia, China, Cambodia, North Korea.
All the lower courts answer to the SCOTUS. chief Justice Roberts is just too much of a coward to confront them. I guess the threats against the patriots on the bench has scared Roberts to the point he refuses to act.
Congress needs to pass a law that states if a federal judge is over ruled by the SCOTUS more than 2 times then the federal judge will be automatically removed from the bench. This will stop judges from being activists and force them to rule on the law and constitution.
Not sure where these Judges think they have the authority to challenge the President. There is not a word about them or their Courts in our Constitution only the Supreme Court is there with it’s Powers listed. Chief Justice Roberts should stop catering to them and apply his powers over them and stop all this partisan danger before it’s too late. The lawfare has to stop, now.
Yeah, well, in all actuality, those judges are the ones doing everything they are accusing the SCOTUS of doing. After all, every accusation is a confession. They continuously obstruct the carrying out of the will of the people, what we voted for. They should all be dismissed and arrested for treason. What the SCOTUS is doing is its actual job. They just don’t like it. And, so, they obstruct and defy and call it “democracy” and accuse their opponents of exactly what they are doing.
