Throw a bunch of shit against the wall and hope some of it sticks.

Y'all just gotta vote harder .

 

[jbuck88]

So passed the house, senate and president desk? Everyone said the same thing?

Until Congress decides to defend and jealously guard the power granted to them, and NOT the judicial branch, this stuff will keep happening. They have the power to impeach

The only way I can see a judge getting involved is if they say the law is unconstitutional, then it would have to work its way to the Supreme Court if one side digs in.

Federal judges play political games because nothing short of being impeached by the Senate can result in them losing their jobs; which is nearly impossible due to how our political system works. I think a lot of the bullshit we are dealing with could be dealt with by allowing the Supreme Court to discipline lower court judges.

What would that discipline be? Angry words on twitter/x?

SCOTUS isn't exactly snow white virginal these days, entire fed judiciary is unreliable compared to 25+ yrs ago.

It sucks -- but that is how things are right now. Things you may have learned in k-12 about the role of fed courts and SCOTUS, they are just about non-applicable these days. Same with Congress and same with the Exec branch. The whole circus is heavily compromised, but it is very hard to notice as much if your info sources are domestic. Domestic "news" and opinion sources these days are spending their time creating Team Red vs Team Blue boxing matches, and covering up how bad things are otherwise.

Discipline requires the Supreme Court be able to remove any problem lower court judge. Anything less isn't going to work.

Right now the Judicial branch can't really regulate itself and the Legislative can't either because impeachment isn't politically feasible. That needs to change and in my mind allowing the Judicial branch to police itself is preferable to granting the Legislative more power over a rival branch of government.

 

[flogxal]

How is a Congress motivated toward an impeachment process if the same forces/interests are running all three branches of govt?

What is the solution when the govt is captured by interests and people who represent numerically or per capita no more than 5-7% of the legal citizenry?

Talking about SCOTUS being able to remove lower judges, well I don't think that would play out as you imagine. Not as of 2025 and looking forward, that is.

It is annoying, frustrating, sad, difficult but things are very captured right now and vote smarter/vote harder is not any kind of solution, nor are things that might work if the system otherwise were healthy and functional.

I suggest going basic/granular and looking at your local city council or whatever. What do you know about each person? Their business background? Their family/community background? Their education? What they do for recreation? Do you know if they receive big lump donations from anyone? If so, who are those big donors and what do they expect for their $$?

When you have a hand full of people trying to subvert the will of the people, the solution is very simple,... well as long as the both sides are not in on it, that is.

Well today, anything's possible. Though, it's just a judge. I have yet to see any Governor or President arrested for not listening to a court's ruling.

Didn't the SC just rule judges can't issue nation wide injunctions?

Until the American citizens use the power protected from infringement for them this stuff will continue.

As a matter of process/procedure, a Federal District Court judge's rulings have effect within that District on State law matters, and on Federal law matters, the judge can rule on what he thinks the Federal law means across the country.

This means that on Federal law rulings by a Dist Ct judge, you can have different rulings/views/opinions. Both within a District, and then within the Circuit (of Appeals judges) the District sits in. You can have conflicting Federal law rulings among the Districts. And they can take years to resolve.

SCOTUS can certainly say that a Dist Ct judge's injunction (an equity power vested in Fed Dist Ct judges) has only the scope of that District. Functionally, a Dist Ct judge has no authority, power, process to oversee violations of the injunction in another District.

So, where in the Constitution does it say the federal government is responsible for providing healthcare? Is this another bastardization of the general welfare statement?
