It seems to me that for a lower court judge, whose opinion is reversed by the Supreme Court, there should be some serious consequences - i.e. he should be held in contempt or at least given a stern warning.

A lower court judge whose opinions need to be reversed by SCOTUS more than once should lose standing.

These lower court judges are wasting the people’s time, obstructing executive branch authority, and violating the equal powers doctrine.

The apparent lack of negative consequences seems to encourage “judge shopping” - where opponents of the administration are able to simply shop around until they find a judge wacky enough and shameless enough to challenge any executive branch decision.

It’s great that this ruling got “slapped back”, but will the lower court judge be in anyway deterred from doing it all over again?

I think an occasional overrule is ok and to be expected. the 9th circuit needs to be fumigated however. a pattern of overturns might require some review and removal of judges.

Here’s a question if a conservative judge was constantly overturned by a liberal corrupt then would you want removal?
