#judges

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Rs are plotting ways to respond to the judges. The House is set to vote on the No Rogue Rulings Act, Wed *limit the power of the nearly 700 dist judges to impose nationwide injunctions.

Any changes would be subject to the 60-vote filibuster in the Senate.

House GOP hard-liners have been discussing include cutting off funding for the fed District Court in DC & other lower courts, & even breaking up the existing system of dist & circuit courts.

"At the end of his dissent, Stevens also offered up a prediction of his own. “The court’s ruling threatens to undermine the #integrity of elected institutions across the nation,” he wrote. “The path it has taken to reach its outcome will, I fear, do damage to this institution.” #Musk & #Trump are now calling for the removal of #judges who disagree with them & defying federal #court orders. Rarely has a prophecy from dissenting justice been proven so obviously correct."

"Over the past 4 weeks, #Trump has taken increasingly disturbing actions each week to undermine #lawyers who have been willing to oppose him — or even just defend people who have different views than him... Trump and allies have also gone after, with increasing vitriol, #judges who have ruled against his new admn’s overreaching acts.

Looked at clearly... #DonaldTrump wants to, and is working to, destroy the rule of #law."

“Bondi warns Crockett”
Trump has threatened “his enemies” for decades, but now he threatens judges with impeachment, & he’s instructed “his AG” & his Cabinet, Musk, Senators, Reps, & enablers to also make vicious threats, at times, even bordering on death threats.

“Trump’s Attorney General just issued a threat to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, telling her to “tread very carefully” when criticizing Elon Musk.”
-BT Cohen

#Trump’s declaration that he & the AG are the sole authoritative interpreters of federal #law for the executive branch; the transformation of ordinary spending responsibilities into discretionary tools to punish partisan foes; the stripping of #security clearances from perceived enemies & opponents; the threat of #criminal prosecutions for #speech deemed unfavorable by the president; & the verbal attacks on #judges for enforcing the law.

Continued thread

In this prerogative state, #judges & other legal actors deferred to the #racist hierarchies & ruthless expediencies of the #Nazi regime.

The key here is that this prerogative state does not immediately & completely overrun the normative state. Rather, Fraenkel argued, #dictatorships create a #lawless zone that runs alongside the normative state. The 2 states cohabit uneasily & unstably. On any given day, people or cases could be jerked out of the normative state & into the prerogative one.

"Musk, who serves as a senior adviser to Donald Trump, posted about judges who ruled in opposition to the administration more than 20 times within 48 hours this week on X, the social network he owns, repeatedly framing them as radical leftist activists and seeking to undermine their authority."

The Administration Can’t Even Take a Hint from the Chief Justice

Will No One Rid Us of This Turbulent Musk?

"Musk’s response was far worse. Yesterday, he made the maximum allowable donations to the seven #Republican members of #Congress who have filed or vocally supported the #impeachment of the #judges. The intent is unmistakable. He is showing #contempt for #Roberts and the #Court"

Kudos to the American Bar Association (@abaesq) for speaking out against the #Trump admin #intimidation of #judges.
americanbar.org/news/abanews/a

"We cannot have a judicial system where the government seeks to remove judges simply because they do not rule as the government desires. Considering the increasing physical threats to judges, these are clearly efforts to intimidate judges and our courts. The courts are a co-equal branch of our government, and they must be treated that way. We call upon the government and our elected officials to cease making these statements. Government officials know they can appeal decisions they do not like. That is the appropriate way to disagree with a decision of a court."

sent the South African [immigrant] into a frenzy...

began to exchange posts with El Salvador’s #authoritarian leader... who himself carried out a judicial #purge to gain more power."
