Judicial activism at its worst. A single district court in Rhode Island should not be able to seize center stage in the shutdown, seek to upend political negotiations that could produce swift political solutions for SNAP and other programs, and dictate its own preferences for how scarce federal funds should be spent.

With hours to go before the TRO compliance clock runs, and the First Circuit waiting to deny immediate relief until minutes ago, we have filed an emergency stay application in the Supreme Court requesting immediate relief.
As our Supreme Court brief puts it: “The core power of Congress is that of the purse, while the Executive is tasked with allocating limited resources across competing priorities. But here, the court below took the current shutdown as effective license to declare a federal bankruptcy and appoint itself the trustee, charged with picking winners and losers among those seeking some part of the limited pool of remaining federal funds.”

So what are you exactly doing about it? Not ONE judge has been held accountable not one politician, not one FBI agent, literally you have not done anything.

What happens if the President doesn’t or is unable to comply with the TRO? What exactly does the district court think it can do?

I don’t understand. As a judge, in Rhode Island and frankly anywhere in the Northeast or far West Coasts, you simply cannot get invited to the right cocktail parties if you don’t insert the ideology into your rulings. I mean, what’s the point of being a judge? 🤷‍♂️

Since these are Congressionally run courts (Article 3) the Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to establish, run or dissolve them. Only Congress has that power. Congress can limit their reach and function, SCOTUS can only overturn their decisions. Congress should dissolve them all (just need to keep paying the judges but could move them all to Nome, Alaska).

The judicial coup was planned.

Not a lawyer here, but well educated and my research shows the judiciary has zero authority to order the executive branch to “find” funds not specifically allocated by congress. An order of this type is illegal.

Those judges should be immediately sanctioned and impeachment should begin. Then follow it up with sedition charges. They are not a 4th branch of government!

There should be rules/regulations/laws/whatever in place such that when a rogue judge very clearly and outrageously oversteps their bounds they are punished in some substantial way. If not, this will just continue over and over, which is what the activists want.

Multiple criminals should not be able to get away with heinous, treasonous and seditious crimes against our country.

So if he shouldn’t do it yet he did do it, arrest him. Charge him for obstruction of Congress. I read he has skin in the game with an NGO, that’s racketeering. That’s 2 charges, let’s go!!! Or you could go on FOX NEWS.

As our AG, what legal actions have you taken?

@AGPamBondi: You own statement contradicts your intent. The Executive is attempting to make certain decisions that are not his (theirs) to make and can only be made by Congress. You your self state that "the core power of Congress is that of the purse.." Even though resources (funds) are limited, it is Congress that must make the decision about funding -- not the President or the Executive Branch. The deal is when the Courts, try to right that wrong, you go on the offensive and call these Judges' "rogue" when in reality the ones who are truly rogue are you and the Executive Branch for defying the Judicial branch's Article III Authority.
STOP. PAYING. CONGRESS!

Well DO something to help us. Our schools are indoctrination centers where kids are taught to hate our country. Policies allow boys in girl’s bathrooms and sports. We aren’t big like NY or CA but we battle this evil as hard as anyone. We are looking for this administration to do what it promised, and are sick of waiting. Let’s go!

Opinion: When is Chief Justice Roberts going to do his job and rein in the activist and radical judges who know they are abusing their power but are doing it anyway????

Then stop abiding by their rulings. If a moonbat judge told you to jump off a building, would you ignore it? The power of the judiciary (Article III) is with SCOTUS. Marshall's judicial review (Marbury v Madison) was NEVER meant for any other court.

Too bad you don't know anybody high up in the DOJ that might have the power to fight back. I know they got this blonde gal that spends a lot of time on fox but does little else. Maybe replace her with Martin
