Does this mean that the ruling is abolished in your whole country, or just in Texas (since only Texas rejected it)?

Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Everywhere (until appeal)
Oh, that's some bullshit
I mean, it does check the power. We all know how long court cases take—especially in higher jurisdictions—and at least this means Trump can't make some stupid unconstitutional executive decision that only gets overturned after 3 years.
Unconstitutional!
That's what all the judges are saying these days about anything they don't like.
Clearly neither the constitution nor the Bible mention non-compete agreements, so we don't know how to approach this. /s
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Is a non-compete agreement with God himself, ergo, non-competes are divine law. ( /s but I could see a judge making that argument )
'Before' is the key word there. Apparently, the bible allows to have after. Noncompetes state you can't have after. Ergo, noncompetes are anti-bible, and should be abolished.
Very compelling argument. I look forward to the supreme Court case.
Because it’s ultimately decided by the Supreme Kangaroo Court.
Any small W for the working class gets stalled or reversed by the judiciary.
Conservative judiciary. It's almost always a Texas or Florida judge.
Yep, just like when Obama passed minimum salary increase, was stayed 4 weeks before go-live the week of Thanksgiving. Eventually rolled back under Trump 1 and watered down.
Welcome to......well I was going to say welcome to 2025, but this corrupt shit has been going on for centuries.
Welcome to......earth. I guess.
I remember being stoked for this win. It's so hard not to be all doom and gloom lately.
We need to get rid of judges. They have too much power and not enough brains.
Oh they have brains. Their brains are saying "take the payout, take the payout, ethics are for poor people."
Elected judges without any vetting or prerequisites are a terrible mistake.
I mean district judge appointments are subject to the advice and consent of the senate
Oh boy.
could you elaborate
One of if not the principal functions of the 3-power division is so that each keep the others in check. Judiciary power makes sure Legislative and Executive don’t stray, and so on and so forth.
When your judiciary is beholden to the other powers, this breaks. Corruption festers.
Judiciary power can’t properly be elected by the public because It’sa technical function. It can’t be appointed by the other powers because it would corrupt it. The judiciary should be elected from within. There’s a bar exam to qualify someone to practice law. It should also be used to qualify then to vote on other barred individuals to positions within the system. Judges, DAs, district judges, Justices… the lot.
Isn't that just checking the power? If there's no way for a power to check another power, that's absolute chaos. And confirmation by the senate doesn't mean the judge will listen to the senate's every single bidding. The only thing that makes judges "beholden" to the legislature is impeachment, and that's pretty hard. You may as well say the executive is beholden to the legislature. And it's not like the US ever had direct presidential elections.
Judges' lifetime appointment system on good behavior is meant to prevent them from being chosen by electioneering while still reflecting the opinions of the populace through being selected for nomination by the president. Though under Trump, they're pretty much selected through internal election under the Federalist Society anyways.
Pretty sure this one was appointed, but yeah
That’s worse. 😨
Dammit I would like the ninth circuit to rule the fifth circuit unconstitutional and then have a cage match in the DC circuit to figure out for the last time who the goof circuit really is
the district court did this tho
