Just like the main stream media was tone-deaf to the damage they were doing to their own credibility over the years, now the judiciary is doing the same thing to itself.

I’ll be profoundly disappointed if this ruling is not only ignored, but not even acknowledged.

More accurate headline would be: “Activist Judge attempts to insert him/herself where he/she has no business”.

Individual judges may not be effected, but they are doing great institutional damage. One would think the Supreme Court would want to keep its house in order, so to speak, but the rot is there, too.

There are something like 800 active federal judges. Evidently, any one of them can put a halt to activities in the entire country.

That’s crazy. Only a majority of the Supreme Court should have that power.

It would be nice if the GOP Congress would fix this, and soon. But of course they won’t. And that’s because too many Republicans are Deep Staters themselves.

🙁

Most likely the administration will just put everything on hold until there is an appeal.

It will not affect anything.

Federal employees will continue to signed DRP (deferred resignation program) agreements where they opt out of any litigation in exchange for several months of pay—and they resign.

RIF was always the very last step in the administration’s government downsizing effort—and the least important one.

To review—already completed actions:

—Back to office—convinced many federal employees to retire or quit
—Probationary employees firing—while the courts have made this on again off again most probationary employees got tired of the craziness and have already resigned using DRP
—Closing of offices, in DC and elsewhere—that eliminated many thousand of federal employees
—Closing of entire agencies, divisions
—DRP 1.0 and 2.0

This court decision is a very minor bump in the road.

One would think that the Supreme Court Justices themselves would be angry at these district judges trying to usurp their power.

If a judge in Podunk, Utah and issue nation-wide injunctions across multiple states outside their own districts, what do we need a Supreme Court for?

Roberts could put an end to this in one letter................

she wrote in her ruling Friday evening, "any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress."

Where does it say that in the Constitution? Must be next to the word "Privacy".

It is becoming more and more obvious every day now—that there are NOT three equal branches of our government anymore. The Judiciary is now the most powerful branch.

Any single Federal judge anywhere can stop the President anytime. Amazing.

Enough of these black robes tyrants.
We voted for Trump’s agenda, and we will have it implemented.
Don’t think we won’t.

You can hold your cannon fire...these judges are mosquitos so it would be overkill.

"[T]o make large-scale overhauls of federal agencies," she wrote in her ruling Friday evening, "any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress."

Incredible level of ignorance.

This is a very serious and unprecedented attack upon, and usurpation of, the clearly enumerated powers of the Presidency by a rogue branch of government, which cannot be allowed to stand.

It's time for suspension of habeas corpus, a declaration of a national emergency, and institution of martial law. Then run these judges through the UCMJ. If this doesn't happen, and soon, we will have lost the country to a runaway and treasonous and seditious judiciary which will have accomplished an irreversible coup d'etat.

I say irreversible because I believe no American alive today (except perhaps for Trump) truly has the stomach to do what would need to be done to finally rid us of the cancer that is eating this country alive.
