Text from article: Still, we’ve not really had a chance yet to see too many decisions be made in the wake of this one. Having a court at last officially credit the arguments that any DOGE authority was falsely claimed seems an important point to be reached and one that hopefully should affect all the other cases, including in the ones requesting injunctive relief against what DOGE is doing. Right now all these cases are being litigated against the big black box of the government, and having to swim upstream against a lot of doctrine that says the government is due a lot of deference in how it uses its own constitutionally-appointed power—and perhaps rightly so, if that constitutionally-appointed power is to not be unduly obstructed. But with DOGE it is different because what it is finally starting to dawn is the judicial recognition that DOGE has no constitutionally-appointed governmental power. And these cases, rather than being about the government using its lawful power badly, as most constitutional challenges are, are really about an unlawful power being allowed to do anything. Injunctive relief should therefore be much more readily available because it is not relief from government power itself that is being sought but by a separate, unentitled, invading power running around and causing immense and exigent harm.

DOGE Rampage May Have ‘Immediate,’ ‘Long-term’ Effects For Courts, Judicial Branch Warns
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/dog

"The memo demonstrates how far DOGE’s campaign to maim the federal #government has gone. In this case, the federal #courts, part of the #judicial branch, are saying that their daily operations may be impacted #DOGE — a shocking admission from... a group not known for hyperbole or flippancy."

Building Staff Canned At Phoenix Federal Courthouse
talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/b

"The GSA is currently controlled by #DOGE...

The #Phoenix courthouse houses the #judicial branch mostly. But the #GSA is still in charge of running the building. So court staff were surprised earlier this week when they found out that all the GSA employees who run the building had been fired. None of the judicial offices... had been notified."

Text from article: In Phoenix, the federal courthouse is named after Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: it’s the Sandra Day O’Connor U.S. Courthouse. The General Services Administration (GSA) is the agency charged with running the building. The GSA is currently controlled by DOGE and they’re the ones currently breaking leases on federal offices around the country and trying to sell off, at least as of earlier this week, hundreds of federal buildings including the Departments of Justice, Labor and Health and Human Services. The Phoenix courthouse houses the judicial branch mostly. But the GSA is still in charge of running the building. So court staff were surprised earlier this week when they found out that all the GSA employees who run the building had been fired. None of the judicial offices, I’m told, had been notified. They only realized what was happening when they noticed some members of the building staff crying. Seems like a problem, right? Who’s running the building? How’s it going?

Roberts showed up @State of the Union expecting 2 take in another evening of sitting stonefaced while pretending it’s not weird the #judicial branch attends president’s annual report to Congress. Instead he had emperor’s robes ripped off him by bumbling chief executive who doesn’t understand conservative judicial pantomime:“Thank you again,” Trump said to Roberts while patting him on the shoulder implying this is not the first time he’s thanked him. “Won’t forget it.” abovethelaw.com/2025/03/watch-

#Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder that an aide said “reestablishes the long-standing norm that only the president or the attorney general can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to what the #law is." The order comes as Trump allies question court rulings blocking some of his initiatives & critics worry his administration will disregard #judicial orders.

Judge McConnell’s ruling marked a step toward what could quickly evolve into a high-stakes showdown between the #executive & #judicial branches, a day after a social media post by VP JD Vance [incorrectly] claimed that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” elevating the chance that the #Trump WH could provoke a constitutional crisis.

Already, >40 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump admin, challenging Trump’s brazen moves….

A Detroit judge who [humiliated and handcuffed a teenage girl] was demoted to presiding over traffic court as he faces a federal lawsuit. “We appreciate his efforts in preparing for this role, and wish him success as he transitions into this new responsibility,” said the chief judge, William McConico, in a statement.

[#MitchMcConnell’s maneuvering]…helped create the #conservative supermajority that now dominates the court.

Another provision in #RonWyden’s bill would expand the number of federal #judicial circuits from 13 to 15, adding >100 district court #judges & >60 appellate-level judges.

#SCOTUS justices must report income, dividends, property sales & gifts, among other things, but the bill would bolster financial checks, disclosures & other transparency measures.
