There are almost 700 federal district court judges. I say “almost,” because while officially there are 677 of them, some retired judges have taken senior status and may sit from time to time on cases, so the figure is inexact on any given day. Since President Trump was sworn in for a second term, there have been an avalanche of cases seeking relief from executive actions. Last month alone district court judges issued 15 temporary restraining orders. “That’s more nationwide injunctions than there were issued for the first three YEARS of the Biden Administration. District court judges are out of control.“
A Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) is designed to maintain the status quo after a claim is made that there is an emergency requiring the court to maintain the matter in a holding pattern -- usually for 10-14 days -- until a hearing on the issue can be held. A TRO can be granted ex parte, that is with only the plaintiff being present and without a hearing on the issue at all. The plaintiff must show the likelihood of success on the merits of the claim and that the harm to him outweighs any potential harm to the opposing party. To get one, the plaintiff has to show the likelihood of irreparable injury if the court fails to act. After a hearing, the court may issue a Preliminary Injunction (PI) directing some action or continuing the initial restraint until a full trial on the matter is held. To obtain a PI that lasts throughout the course of litigation, the plaintiff must meet a higher standard of proof. “A TRO requires the applicant to show a substantial likelihood of success and immediate harm, while a preliminary injunction involves a more rigorous evaluation of the merits, balance of equities, and public

Yes, until their universal injunction power is challenged at SCOTUS.
I'm with you but it seems pretty clear that's what the enemy wants as well.
I'm pretty naive politically, but an alternative in my imagination would be to have a shill ready to challenge every Executive Order, the monent President Trump's pen leaves the parchment, in a friendly court. The judge rules inatantly in the Administration's favor and voila, the sanctity of holy untouchable, unapproachable, unreproachable, immutable, holy stare decisis is preserved in it's virgin purity!
Rhetorical question. Conservatives know we have no representatives in Kongress. It's comprised of liberal douches with either a 'D' or 'R' beside their name. 'D' for "demonRAT" and 'R' for "Repugnant."
Dunno how we'll ever fix that mess.
Bonds need to be posted, too.
Very, very large bonds.

“...in a friendly court.”
I have wondered why they don’t do it, either before or after one of these wild ass judges rules.
This is the same treason Trump dealt with in his first term. And he still doesn't have a solution other than to do the right things and have only a percentage succeed.
Prayers lifting.
BTTT
Amen and if that doesn’t work, President Trump could make every single registered Republican a member of the Supreme Court, to save holy Democracy, of course!
Sure looks like it to me. And they all work for Soros, O’Bama and Joe Pedo.
This is what happens when lawfare is allowed to run rampant; the judicial overreach just get worse and worse. And now here we are with lawfare taking on a whole new national dimension with the courts brazenly trying to usurp the legitimate authority of the executive branch.
If Trump allows this to continue it will be the end of MAGA.
AGREED, IMPEACH !!!!
