Lawfare...
Seems to be the 'only' thing the leftist/dems/et al can do, and the administration can only fight back in the courts against these judges...
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to rein in lower court rulings that have prevented a ban on birthright citizenship from taking effect nationwide.
Judges should not be able to govern “the whole Nation” from their courtrooms by issuing universal injunctions that block policies across the entire country while litigation is pending, the administration told the justices in its application.

I'll ask the same question I did back in 2017, HOW can a district court judge from 'somewhere' overrule the executive branch???
We know the players are going to judge shop to get what they want (see 9th Circus), which is only going to delay actions, since most of the time (see 9th Circus) it is overturned on appeal or SCOTUS sends it back and tells them to do the right thing...
Which still doesn't answer the basic question. Three branches of government is what we are 'supposed' to have. The US Constitution is the governing document. Article 1 sets up congress, article 2 sets up the presidency, article 3 sets up SCOTUS.
I have always been taught they were co-equal, with each providing checks and balances on the other two.
But, what we're seeing, IMHO, with this lawfare, is that these judges think they outrank the president, and can set all kinds of policies, spending, etc!!!
Also, I 'thought' judges were supposed to follow the Constitution, not make their 'own' interpretations of that Constitution...
Am I that out of touch???
no you're not out of touch, this is the judicial branch the founders warned us about.
In the judiciary, you are pretty much either a strict constructionist or a liberal. In simpler terms, the former follows his or her sworn oath in accordance with the U.S. Constitution as it was written by our founders. The latter adjudicates in accordance with feelz and more modern and progressive values. But let's remember this, all judges, cops, military, elected legislators & executives swear the same oath to our ancient Constitution. How they adhere to their sworn oath is how you tell the good guys from the errant ones.
