(Reuters) - An extraordinary spat is occurring within the U.S. judiciary concerning a flurry of Supreme Court decisions backing President Donald Trump, with judges voicing confusion over the rulings issued on an emergency basis while a Trump-appointed justice accused some of them of defying the nation's top judicial body.
These decisions have let the Trump administration implement contentious policies that were impeded by judges who had cast doubt on the legality of the Republican president's actions. In issuing such opinions, the Supreme Court has offered little or no reasoning for its actions. That has caused exasperation among some of the judges whose decisions have been lifted, with conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch offering them a biting response.
Trump's administration has filed 25 emergency applications with the Supreme Court this year challenging rulings impeding his policies, while another such application was filed in a Trump-related case by lawyers for migrants on the verge of deportation. The court has acted in 24 of these cases. It has sided with Trump entirely or in part 21 times and decided against him twice. The court postponed action in one case that later was declared moot, and the administration withdrew two applications.
The court's 6-3 conservative majority includes three justices appointed by Trump during his first term in office.
Its most recent shadow docket ruling came on Monday when the court again backed Trump's hardline immigration approach, letting federal agents proceed with raids in Southern California targeting people for deportation based on their race or language - a ruling that the liberal justices said makes Latinos "fair game to be seized at any time."

These two bit punk lower court Commie judges can go screw.
IOW.......they don’t like the rulings so feel they aren’t valid. Too bad!
No bias at all shown in this Reuters piece....ROFL...
The supreme court has the power to discipline these judges. The district court judges are violating their code of conduct. Obviously, the Supreme Court has the power to rule in all such matters. Leftist judges and lawyers practice what they call legal nihilism. They don’t give a damn about the law all they care about is advancing the leftist agenda.
It’s hard for the junior judgeez to understand why the are not gods. Most of them had entry level jobs as waitresses or cooks down at the Pancakes and Pork Chops Shacks. Braindead. They thought they were going to be gods when they accepted these judgee jobs from corrupt far-left politicians.
” The court’s 6-3 conservative majority includes three justices appointed by Trump during his first term in office. “
And the lower courts’ judges involved ‘include’ how many Biden/Obama appointed judges?
USNews needs to include perspective once they invoke the “appointed by” concern.
There should be no confusion whatsoever: if you repeatedly are told ‘you’re wrong’ — and if that message keep getting delivered in extraordinarily quick fashion — then you’re obviously not just ‘wrong’ but you’re really, REALLY wrong.
every last one of these quisling judges should already be up for impeachment hearings and removed from the bench. Hell, Maybe criminal charges for contempt too to let all the others know what is going to happen if they defy the high court.
Go figure, a bunch of judges don’t like it when the Supreme Court guesses that they’re likely acting more like lawmaking mullahs than fair arbiters.
——That has caused exasperation——
Thou shall not argue with SCOTUS........... it is just not allowed
Interesting metaphor for "judges with political bias."
Expected (rooters).
Discipline lower court judges?
That would mean CJ Roberts would have to take a stand...show some backbone. I wonder if that’s even possible?
I agree, it needs to be done, to slow these rogue political hack judges down, but I doubt it could happen under the current “leadership” on the SC.
“shadow docket” — aka, a completely fabricated term conjured up by U.S. News/ Reuters to sound menacing and forbidding, LOL.
What a bunch of biased Dem Party toadies.
There are district judges that are crying out for as attitude adjustment.
Newsflash : Lower court judges miffed when told they suck at their jobs
I heard Jean Pirro and Tyrus plan to launch a news service.
About time we started putting the screws to the Democrat Party Press.
“..the Supreme Court has offered little or no reasoning for its actions...”
Really???? I haven’t read all of the opinions, but the few I did explained why the Constitution either allowed, or didn’t prevent such actions as were being challenged.
I think Trump is starting to ignore them which is what he should do. Tell them to take it up with the Supreme Court. Most are part of the RAT Party slime.
Hopefully they are so “vexed” that they quit in protest.
