Major win for the Trump Administration on federal judges

[Chuz Life]

The USSC ruled that federal dismisses blocks on Trump EOs now only apply to that judges district. No more national rulings.

Oooooooh

 

[toobfreak]

Great news. We can’t have a nation where a local judge has more power than the U.S. president.

Obviously. Most telling was that just 4 years ago, one of the dissenters, Kagan, AGREED that a district judge could not have supremacy over an elected president! But now she disputes her own opinion because leftists don't care about law, they just want to stop Trump.

Can you imagine? Every action by a president to enact his policies as elected by the nation to do could just be blocked by one of any of 670 appointed district judges! Nothing would ever pass.

District judges are appointed by congress just so that they can take care of lesser, local/district matters to save the higher courts the bother. They were never intended to have power equal to or surpassing the Supreme Court! Even the USSC needs 9 justices to make a ruling, these district court judges could supersede a president all on their own?

But I do not agree that this still leaves any given district judge to rule against an EO for his/her district. Federal law is federal law--- national law, and cannot just be excised to apply everywhere else EXCEPT the Boston area or NYC. That is ridiculous.

So now for the Second time the criminal rogues have been Told that they cannot issue edicts outside of their realm of designated authority. The next one who does should be taken into custody within 24 hours

Buried at the bottom of the page again, a 5% chance yet happens to 25% iof my posts, so let’s correct that and let the truth ring out that this is the Second Time these local yokel pissants have been TOLD by highest court in the land to stay in their local lane ONLY

/----/ The scumbags are working overtime to circumvent the new ruling.

How Opponents are Navigating the New Rules​

Because district judges can no longer issue a single, sweeping national block, legal challengers are shifting their tactics to achieve the same result through different mechanisms:

• Multistate Coalitions: As seen in today's voting order case, massive coalitions of states are suing together. While not "nationwide," blocking an EO in two dozen states simultaneously severely disrupts the federal government's ability to run a uniform program.
• Class-Action Certifications: If a judge certifies a formal nationwide class (representing every single person affected by the policy across the U.S.), an injunction covering that entire class effectively becomes nationwide.
• The "Whack-A-Mole" Dynamic: If an appeals court or the Supreme Court lifts one specific block, district judges are increasingly finding alternative statutory routes (like using the Administrative Procedure Act or the Privacy Act) to issue fresh, localized injunctions based on different legal arguments.

Any more stuff that is easily identifiable as another bullshit “hamstring Trump” should be illegal and those trying to witch hunt up another illegal means to get at him should be incarcerated

You might like this right now. After all, you are a shameless, hopeless, disgusting fascist.

However, you won't like it when a Democrat is back in the White House. And that day will come, thanks to Trump's current meltdown.

/----/ Fair enough. You went to public school. I'll dumb it down for you.

To break it down in the simplest terms, the difference comes down to the scope of their jobs and who they are resolving a problem for.

Here is how the powers are split under the U.S. framework:

1. The President: Setting Nationwide Policy​

• The Job: The President is the head of the entire Executive Branch of the federal government.
• The Power: When a President issues an Executive Order (EO), they are giving a direct order to federal agencies (like the Department of Homeland Security or the EPA) on how to enforce the law.
• The Scope: Because those federal agencies operate across all 50 states, the President’s directive naturally applies nationwide. The President is managing the entire executive team for the country.

2. A Federal District Judge: Resolving Specific Arguments​

• The Job: A federal district judge sits at the lowest level of the federal court system. Their job is not to manage the country, but to resolve a specific legal dispute ("case or controversy") between the specific people or groups suing each other.
• The Power: A judge's power is limited to resolving the problem for the actual plaintiffs in front of them.
• The Scope: Historically, some district judges issued "nationwide injunctions" to halt an Executive Order for everyone in the country. However, the legal boundaries are strictly defined: under rulings like the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. CASA, Inc., a district judge's order is limited to protecting only the specific parties involved in the lawsuit, rather than striking down a policy for the entire nation.

Supreme Court Limits Universal Injunctions

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA, Inc. that federal courts lack the authority to issue universal injunctions under the Judiciary Act of 1789, partially staying the preliminary injunctions prohibiting the enforcement of President Trump's Executive Order No. 14160, which purports to...

Exactly. The Judicial branch equal of the President is the Supreme Court, not District or even Circuit courts.

Kagan really ended-up with egg on her face having said in 2022 that one district court should not hold up national policy.

She's used to it. Ditto Sotomajor.

Thank God. About time. It's ridiculous to shop around and find a judge to issue a nationwide ruling.

No more make pretend to soothe the commie lib loons .

The mayor of Podunk telling NYC residents what they can’t do just got crushed

A win for Trump, a loss for American democracy and its system of checks and balanaces.

What you miss is that Kagan was referring to district outliers vs the first to rule on a nationwide illegal act.
Such as Trump taking away birthright citizenship (14th amendment) is clearly unconstitutional, but being unable to expand their ruling nationwide, Trump could carry out his citizenship removal in the other 12 districts, allowing him to deport millions of us citizens. And even as district by district rules his EO unconstitutional, he could still continue in the districts that hadn't ruled yet.
The damages done would be irreversible,

Just look at how the illegal tariffs haven't been refunded.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has appealed the Court of International Trade's (CIT) order. The DOJ is contesting the CIT's authority to mandate refunds for older entries that are both fully liquidated and past the 80-day reprocessing window, arguing importers must file individual lawsuits to claim them.

/-----/ And the USSC steps in every time and bytchslaps the loons in the district courts. That's checks and balances for ya.

Watch many rulings in federal districts across the country. All it requires is filing a complaint in the district.

I guess he felt the need to rule based on the law.

That is the way the system is supposed to work, unfortunately the USSC is too busy removing long-standing checks and balances to see the long-term damage they are doing out of loyalty to an ideology.
