Bump!
Is the era of Big Judicial Activism over?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not until John Roberts is replaced as Chief Justice.
Should have cut off that crap the first time it happened...not just talk about it.
One can hope.
Note to Justice Gorsuch:
Don’t let anyone convince you to go to a deserted area fishing lodge where someone can smother you in bed with a pillow at 3 a.m. with your arms held over your head.
Family—who had no right to rule this—wouldn’t allow the autopsy or further investigation of Scalia’s death. Feeling great, smiling and telling the other fishing guys “See you in the morning.” In the morning it was Obama who was feeling great. “The opening for a new Supreme Court nominee came at just the right time.”-Obama soon after.
A perfect scenario would be a Federal judge issuing a nationwide injunction against enforcing any "red flag" laws without due process that includes a jury trial.
The SCOTUS should, on an expedited basis, be open to granting “STAYS” immediately when a Circuit Judge foists these overreaching rulings impacting the Nation.
‘The real problem here is the increasingly common practice of trial courts ordering relief that transcends the cases before them. Whether framed as injunctions of ‘nationwide,’ ‘universal,’ or ‘cosmic’ scope, these orders share the same basic flaw—they direct how the defendant must act toward persons who are not parties to the case,” Gorsuch wrote.’
Outstanding!
I can’t help but recall how some FReepers were getting their knickers in a bunch because Gorsuch attended a ‘gay-friendly’ church (cf. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3538304/posts).
it would be sweet, sweet revenge for Podesta’s murder of Scalia if this comes to pass
I just hope that President Trump picks similar conservatives when he fills Ginsburg’s and Breyer’s seats during his second term.
If they were to live so long, Ginsburg will be 91 at the end of President Trump’s second term and Breyer will be 86.
“Is the era of Big Judicial Activism over? It might just be.”
Given that this was a 5-4 ruling I would say ... no, it is not over ... not by a long shot.
The statement won’t stop anything. They’ll still use the same game over and over, knowing that the Supreme Court simply can’t hear the appeals and overrule their injunctions fast enough.
The only solutions are for Congress to impeach any judge who tries this, or for the President to order the government to simply ignore these overreaching injunctions.
The next order on the agenda should be for DJT to alert CJ Roberts he knows what obama and the democrats are blackmailing him with. Trump should tell Roberts to resign because he compromised.
Bravo!
Good that the Supremes see the problem, but Congress is the one who should be deciding judicial scope.
The Democrats want to end all Christian religion especially any association with education.
Does anyone have the case name that is being discussed? Sometimes it’s hard to find stuff at the SC site, without the name. I really wish news articles would at least mention that critical information that is relevant to the story.
He should of glared at the 4 Supreme Court Justices who disagreed.
The President could easily shut down judicial activism by ignoring any such judicial orders that are beyond the scope of the cases presented to their courts.
Tell them to send it to the USSC if they want it applied nationwide.
