So what can be done about it?
I would say, Seal Team 6.
It could cause the CWII people have talked about...
It’s time to start Impeaching rogue judges.
The courts need to tread lightly here or we will witness the end of legislating from the bench.
A petition on Whitehouse.gov to disband the 9th would be a good start - would also serve notice to others that want to use opinions over law/constitution....
Ultimately, Gorsuch, I suppose.
We. Are. Fornicated!
All I have heard lately is people telling Trump what he should do, should not do, and people being quite contrary.
I actually feel sorry for President Trump and his family.
Perhaps we need to all get off our butts and let those scum libs know we support Trump and we are sick of their crap.
Republicans need to get behind the breakup of the 9th Circuit. That will stop a lot of the judicial run amok. Leave all 29 justices in San Francisco and appoint new judges to the new court.
IIRC, historically, there is precedent for removing judges (impeachment) for not following the law. It has not been done in a long time, but it may be time to renew the practice.
Congress should start inserting the following language into EVERY piece of legislation.
“This legislation and the subject matter therewith is hereby removed from the jurisdiction of all inferior courts”.
Over time they’ll have nothing to do. And SCOTUS won’t be able to handle a deluge of whacky lawsuits.
Gorsuch will break the tie in the supreme court. Beyond that, there are over 100 lower a vacancies that Trump can fill with conservatives without much bother from Senate democrats.
In a case like this, play hardball. No immigrants allowed, all of them. Also no refugees. No H1B’s. Let them scream.
The Judiciary Operations Yoke or JOY Act of 2017 - a bill to eliminate the entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, redistribute the affected states into the remaining Circuits, and eliminate individual District Courts.
The lesser courts are those populated with activist judges.
Eliminating lesser courts has been done before and it has passed SCOUTS review.
See the Judiciary Act of 1802:

Impeachment not necessary - just lay them off.
Done and done.

My worry too, this is why Holder and CA are teaming up to sue on everything. If ther succeed our country is doomed, we will need another revolution, the Supreme Court doesn’t take every case from the 9th Circus. They could essentially end up running large parts of the federal govt, it’s very disturbing to contemplate, it IS their plan, don’t forget the courts are packed with liberals, that’s why Harry Reid did away with the filibuster in 2013.
Where is Robard licensed? Did he swear to uphold the Constitution in becoming a District Judge? How do we go about filing a complaint against his license for not upholding his oath and legislating from the bench? Or does he even need to be licensed to sit as a judge?
If that’s the case, that their purported concern for due process, etc. is just a cover for Democrats and nevertrumpers: Uniparty to frustrate Trump’s Contract with the Voters, then he begins ordering agencies and the Justice Dept. to implement his orders.
They simply don’t want to, like Sally Yates? Insubordination. Pack up your bankers boxes, former fed employee.
“Hi, US Marshall’s office? This is Nancy from Judge _________’s office. Some agents in the Dept. of ____________ are ignoring the judge’s order and we’re going to need ... “
click, phone disconnects.
In derogation of separation of powers? At that point, where federal district courts are patently obstructive, he would have no choice. They fired the first shot.
I was thinking the same thing... border wall, deportations, defunding sanctuary cities, etc.
This was posted on another thread.

I have not had a chance to read it and not being a lawyer cannot comment on it. Perhaps someone else has.
“Good-behavior tenure was forfeitable upon a judicial finding of misbehavior. There would have to be a trial, the hearing of witnesses, and the introduction of evidence, with misbehavior proved by the party seeking to oust the tenured individual.”
I suppose who brings the case, who would conduct the trial and what constitutes misbehavior would be discussed in the article. Sounds like a judicial trial could be used to remove a judge.
