Well, it certainly hasn't taken long for leftist judges to ignore the stern scolding from the United States Supreme Court and get back to the important business of standing in the way of everything President Donald Trump does, as a federal judge just blocked the defunding of Planned Parenthood in the "Big, Beautiful Bill."
It was less than two weeks ago that SCOTUS handed down a ruling that said federal judges handing down nationwide injunctions "likely" constituted an overreach of their authority.
That apparently didn't matter to a district court judge in Massachusetts, who, as reported by Just the News, went back to the tried and true method of just nullifying large chunks of Trump's agenda.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, issued the temporary restraining order.
The ruling comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that dramatically limited the scope of nationwide injunctions by lower court judges and is sure to lead to a legal fight with the administration.
Except this is not just a random executive order, but a bill passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law by the president.

It passed the house.
It passed the Senate.
It passed the house again. It passed Trump’s desk.
Stopped by a single judge.

Talwani's temporary order, which prevents the BBB from imposing a year-long ban on state Medicaid programs from providing payments to Planned Parenthood, lasts for two weeks, at which point she will determine whether to issue a longer injunction.
(Leftist judges do love their abortion funding!)
The Department of Justice has a week to respond to the temporary ruling.
One can guess what the response will be.
These pukes need to be jailed and never allowed around the justice system again, unless they are being prosecuted.
I don’t even bother to get upset at these lower court’s TROs. I know they are going to get reversed by SCOTUS if an Appeals Court doesn’t beat them to it.
Roberts is going to have a very busy and short vacation if he doesn’t slap these federal judges across the head. Thus far, they are ignoring SCOTUS.
