SCOTUS’ Refusal To Rein In Rogue Lower Courts Has Become A Disturbing Pattern

The Supreme Court has become a paper tiger, failing to hold defiant lower courts accountable when they make rogue decisions.
The Supreme Court has the responsibility to make sure its subsidiary courts follow its directives — often by taking more cases, and making their precedent unambiguous. Arrogant, active, and open defiance on some of the most important issues, however, has been the norm from these lower courts for years, and a majority on the high court has persistently refused to stop them.
The judicial coup is thwarting the American people, and the agenda they voted for, in two ways: By blocking actions from the Trump administration upon which they have no business weighing, and not enforcing Supreme Court precedent they believe to be inconvenient or controversial, but are important to Americans like abortion, affirmative action, and election integrity.

Then let’s get the showdown under way...i’m sick of all this crap.
We so deserately want a peaceful way to power and freedom again in America.
So desperately that we do nothing as they have burned down cities, tortured POTUS Trump, spit in our faces, arrested our allies, aided our enemies...and so much more.
you know what?!?! #### it. If a showdown is needed and it comes to fighting, so be it.
I’m sick of sitting around and hoping just for hope’s sake.
Now they are burning Tesla dealersihps and how long before someone dies as a result?
it’s enough

For all we know, Roberts directed them to do it.

Roberts is too weak to be Chief Justice. His ascension to that position has been disastrous for this country and the reason people are losing faith in the law.

Roberts and his hand maiden like wing woman, Amy Conehead Barrett, have severe cases of Long TDS.
They both need to resign for failure to follow the Constitution.

I love Trump. I love his Cabinet picks. He’s a flat-out genius who loves this country, just as the Founding Fathers were.
But he and his administration have GOT to do something more than bitch on the Internet. And they have to do it soon.

The Supreme Court has become irrelevant at best , an open threat to the country at the worst. Ever since they ruled that states had no right to sue in the 2020 election because they were not in interested party, I realized they were NOT on American’s side.

Maybe that’s why President Trump displays the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office now.
He’s the 1776 that we elected, peacefully.
Because if they stole a second election, 1776 was coming in some fashion.
Revolution from within the Swamp is quite a new concept that only began with Trump’s first election win.

Judge James Boasberg issues a three-page order [SEE HERE] demanding the Trump administration deliver cabinet level details about their criminal alien deportation operation.

Boasberg claims the information provided to him so far is “woefully inadequate,” and lacks the citations of what cabinet-level officials were involved in deporting criminal illegal aliens and Tren de Aragua gang members protected by a leftist immigration organization employing Judge Boasberg’s daughter.
Judge Boasberg appears to be focused on generating a contempt order against the Trump administration. Presumably, this would give Boasberg’s allied Democrats in congress a foothold for their needed 2018 election effort and another impeachment attempt.
“To begin, the Government cannot proffer a regional ICE official to attest to Cabinet-level discussions of the state-secrets privilege; indeed, his declaration on that point, not surprisingly, is based solely on his unsubstantiated ‘understand[ing],'” he said.
Boasberg then ordered the Trump administration to submit a brief by March 25 explaining why it did not violate his order by failing to return the individuals in question on the two earliest planes that arrived from El Salvador to the U.S. on March 15.
“By March 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Defendants shall submit a sworn declaration by a person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege,” he added.

[SOURCE]
Boasberg had previously warned the Trump administration of consequences if it were to violate his order.
President Trump via Truth Social:
“Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country! These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings.
Lawyers endlessly search the United States for these Judges, and file lawsuits as quickly as they find them. It is then the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these “Orders” overturned. The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks.
Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE. It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE. STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!”
