    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    The court ruled that they had the authority to end it, and they did. Not sure I can figure out how this constitutes violating any Supreme Court ruling. Seems to me the second plan wasn't ruled unconstitutional, only that the SCOTUS didn't remove the block. So borrowers were given forbearance...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    All judges offer their opinion about how the law and the Constitution is applied to the specific case at hand. Their opinions then become the decision of the court. Until an appeals court rules differently. If you feel this, or any, Supreme Court decision is contrary to the Constitution, feel...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Judicial overreach has an appeals process, executive branch does not. The only way to limit overreach from the executive branch is through the courts. Which is far, far less of a threat to democracy than executive branch overreach. Especially since the court's power is limited through the...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    If the action is unconstitutional, absolutely. And if the ruling of that single judge is incorrect, it can be appealed and, if found to be so, overturned. Executive branch overreach is too important, and too significant to our democratic system, to not be fervently opposed. If you feel it's a...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    The opinions of Justice Barrett notwithstanding, the ruling did not find nationwide injunctions to be unconstitutional. Even if these particular judges may not, others might. Judges, like everyone else, have political opinions. Whether or not a judge is elected to office or appointed doesn't...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    A common practice used by all flavors of political thought. I'm not so much complaining as disagreeing. I fully acknowledge the Supreme Court's authority in this area, but that doesn't mean I'm not free to disagree regardless. In other words, the appeals process works. Nationwide injunctions...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    It'll be interesting to see what happens when a district court rules that a future Democrat in office oversteps his authority. I wonder how many proponents of this decision will be as supportive then. -- A2SG, what goes around, comes around.....

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Nope. The Supreme Court ruling limited nationwide injunctions, but it did not find them to be unconstitutional. So the powers of district judges are limited, and subject to appeal. Gee, a couple of Supreme Court justices disagree. Alert the media! -- A2SG, they may have already heard.....

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    "Rogue" judge meaning, of course, one you disagree with. If their rulings are contrary to the law or the Constitution, their decisions can be appealed and, if found to be so, overturned. It did in several cases involving Trump. Such as denying due process in several cases. A system for that...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Even when those actions are unconstitutional? And, let's not forget, district courts are subject to appeal to a higher court, so their decisions can always be overruled. And facilitated an executive branch to overreach its authority and issue unconstitutional orders. -- A2SG, but, as I said...

    Nah. Actually, I may have misspoken when I said it was Trump's hand picked Supreme Court. Clearly, the Federalist Society had more of a hand in that, Trump is merely the beneficiary of those SCOTUS justices who seem to favor a more authoritarian Executive branch. -- A2SG, checks and balances...
