Dozens of sitting judges shared with The Times their concerns about risks to the courts’ legitimacy as the Supreme Court releases opaque orders about Trump administration policies.
More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.
At issue are the quick-turn orders the Supreme Court has issued dictating whether Trump administration policies should be left in place while they are litigated through the lower courts. That emergency docket, a growing part of the Supreme Court’s work in recent years, has taken on greater importance amid the flood of litigation challenging President Trump’s efforts to expand executive power.
While the orders are technically temporary, they have had broad practical affects, allowing the administration to deport tens of thousands of people, discharge transgender military service members, fire thousands of government workers and slash federal spending.
The striking and highly unusual critique of the nation’s highest court from lower court judges reveals the degree to which litigation over Mr. Trump’s agenda has created strains in the federal judicial system.
Sixty-five judges responded to a Times questionnaire sent to hundreds of federal judges across the country. Of those, 47 said the Supreme Court had been mishandling its emergency docket since Mr. Trump returned to office.
The judges responded to the questionnaire and spoke in interviews on the condition of anonymity so they could share their views candidly, as lower court judges are governed by a complex set of rules that include limitations on their public statements.
Of the judges who responded, 28 were nominated by Republican presidents, including 10 by Mr. Trump; 37 were...

Uh huh. So all those judges can be fired by talking to the Slimes?
Please explaine the ‘seperation of powers” to these gentelmen!
Anti Trump judges are hurting the Judiciary’s image. Not the Supreme Court.
Lawfare = the hundreds and hundreds of cases filed against this administration. These orders keep things from grinding to a halt, which is the point.
Someone must have performed a comprehensive comparison, but I was unable to find one. Maybe I can try my hand at an AI prompt. For example, I believe Obama was overturned most of the time, even by his own judges.
Probably all foreign born
So, these far-left liberal judges have their panties up in a wad. Bwahahahaha
“Probably all foreign born”
and from states with two Democrat senators which restrict who the GOP can nominate.
Let me guess their politics. Nah, that would be too easy.
These “judges” are defying the supreme court and are mad that they are not getting away with it.
No, the issue is the lower courts making administrative decisions that are none of their business.
TDS on the bench.
WHAT IS AN “OPAQUE ORDER”?????
It’s the Supreme Court that isn’t listening! The nerve.
All of the “lesser” courts are creations of Congress. SCOTUS is a co-equal branch, though just barely, and certainly not by intent.
So these pos leftist hacks think the SUPREME COURT is exercising too much power vs themselves.
Incredible.
The Supreme Court makes these decisions because they are major issues affecting the whole country.
So much for a JD being an actual education in the practice of law.
If these are federal district court judges, looking for the reason for a “judicial crisis”, all they have to do is go look in the bathroom mirror.
As far as the Constitution goes there is only one federal court, the Supreme court.
All the politically created “lower courts” are all inferior to the Supreme court.
Good for Trump to start ignoring these inferior courts.
Courts do not make law nor can they enforce it.
Our system has been so twisted by Democrats, we
are more of a third world oligarchy, than a
Republic!
I want my Republic back!
Big surprise. Left-wing Judges whine to left-wing media.
