𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬© - #JudgeWatch Permanent Thread. Tracking lawless and overreaching judges.

Permanent Thread | 2/11/2025 | by Laz A, Mataz

[Lazamataz]

Hello fellow Freepers. This is the "𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬© - #JudgeWatch Permanent Thread". It will differ from a standard ping list. Ping lists, when a new article is posted that is in the ping list's interest, you'd be pinged to the article.

This is different. It will serve as a one-stop shop to identify reckless and out-of-control members of the judiciary. You will also find links to articles about their overreaching actions.

The first Judge that really caught my eye was Judge Paul Engelmayer, who ruled that no member of DOGE -- or even the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, may access the records OF HIS OWN DEPARTMENT or EVEN ENTER ANY TREASURY BUILDING. To my mind, this would be a lot like banning Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth from all military records, bases and facilities.

He also ruled that any records possessed by a cleared- and vetted DOGE team must be destroyed -- IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE LAW PERTAINING TO GOVERMENT RECORDS.

So, come on the thread, add links to any articles about existing or emerging 𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬© and any analysis on why their actions are overreaching, unconstitutional, and illegal.

Freeper kiryandil was kind enough to assemble some information below on six of the 𝐏𝐨𝐩-𝐔𝐩 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬©. It is provided below. I make no representation to its accuracy, but I suspect it is on-point.

X user reveals how DOGE can beat left-wing activist judges at their own game…

@DOGE, a single district judge has issued a ruling blocking the executive branch from access to Treasury data. There’s a simple fix: DOJ should demand injunction bonds.

This will be a repeat problem for the Trump administration, just like it was in the first term, unless something is done to rein in frivolous injunctions. Activist judges could single-handedly gum up the entire Trump/DOGE agenda.

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), judges can issue injunctions “ONLY IF” the suing party posts a bond to cover potential damages if they’re wrong. But guess what? This rule is hardly used!

When I was in the White House, in Trump’s first term, I suggested this, but DOJ didn’t make it happen. Imagine if we had applied this to the travel ban – activists would think twice before blocking policies with potentially billions at stake.

I like it!

Honored to be on that list.

Every school board should have some parents on it, and the job of one of the parents should be to monitor what all judges are doing in their district and report it to the board/parents.

“Alex Marlow: Lawfare Judges Making Unprecedented Efforts to Shut Down Trump’s Agenda”

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/02/11/alex-marlow-lawfare-judges-making-unprecedented-efforts-to-shut-down-trumps-agenda/

(Some background info on the various judges)

For instance: Judge Angel Kelley, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, nominated by President Joe Biden

“She ruled that a police officer did not have a right to First Amendment protections when he criticized a bill called “the George Floyd Act” on his personal Facebook page; the officer called Floyd a criminal in the post. She cited the bogus Black Lives Matter talking point that “the vast majority of protests were peaceful, yet departments across the country met many of those same protests with tear gas, arrests, flash grenades, and more-sometimes with fatal consequences for demonstrators.””
