You want to stop activist Judges? Suspend their paychecks.

These injunctions have been so blatently unconstitutional, why not simply arrest the judge and the attorneys who asked for the injunction on charges of attempting to overthrow the government by usurping the power of the executive branch. Let them spend money to fight the charges as the case and the appeal on the injunction both work their way up the court system.

That is the wrong kind of hardball; the price of an independent judiciary is that even tendentious judges are independent.

Next thing you know, some Democrat executive is doing the same to SCOTUS justices of whom we approve.

Andrew Jackson showed the hardball approach - he basically said, as Stalin put it, “How many divisions does the Pope have?”

Not that this isn’t dangerous, but in the most extreme case the executive always has that in his (for now) hip pocket. Joe Biden ignored SCOTUS WRT student loans, and Andrew Jackson implemented the Trail of Tears removal of the “Indians” to Oklahoma. Those are not reputable examples. But if time were truly of the essence in emergencies, ignoring the ruling of some inferior judge could become necessary.

But if the damage of a tendentious ruling is tolerable, stick with the devil you know, and appeal. Ultimately we have a pretty trustworthy SCOTUS, after all. That is wonderful; I am old enough to remember the Warren Court.🤮
