This administration is either short sighted, or it never intends to have elections that Dems can win again.
How many federal laws/executive orders from Biden and Obama were challenged in courtrooms that were predisposed to go against them? I'm fairly fucking certain one of the dozen student loan forgiveness attempts was ruled illegal for the country because of some conservative judge in Texas.
Before an audience of Christians, the Republican presidential nominee supposedly said if voters elected him, his administration would ensure that "it'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore"
But Trump’s acting solicitor general, Sarah Harris, argued to the Supreme Court that federal district judges have no authority to issue sweeping orders that block policies nationwide. Instead, Harris suggested, an injunction should apply only in the geographic district where the judge is located — or only to the specific individuals or groups that sued.
Well that's how it works. Y'all need to read a book, or at least get a dictionary. If there is legal precedent to redefine what "federal" means, then that would also apply elsewhere, idiots.
This argument is beyond stupid. If FEDERAL judges are still able to block ILLEGAL actions in their locales, then your argument still doesn't stop them from issuing the orders to block actions by executive, now does it? The Supreme Court isn't the "boss" of other courts. It's an appellate body of review.
They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here with their talent pool.
Agreed, but he still owns SCOTUS so they may do his bidding.
"Hey, could y'all do me a solid and just cede more power to me voluntarily? That'd be great!"
