Federal Judges Whine That SCOTUS Is Overturning Their Rulings

[Bodington]

I came across a humorous article on Fox News as cited below. Apparently 12 federal district court judges upon the condition of anonymity voiced concern to NBC News that they were alarmed how frequently their rulings are overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). 10 of those judges (all appointed by Dem Presidents) argued the Supreme Court should offer more explanation when overturning such decisions, saying emergency rulings in such cases imply poor work on the part of lower court judges. You think? I guess it did not dawn on these Judges that perhaps their rulings were so patently absurd that SCOTUS did not find the need to cross the ‘tees’ and dot the ‘eyes’ in overturning their rulings.

Their rulings were not absurd. I don't even need to dig into this data to know that much. This is just bad optics no matter how you spin it and like so much of what Trump has done to our nation its going to take decades to unfuck this.

Yes they were. Judges are not administrators no matter how much they want to be. Further, fully half of the cases overturned were because the plaintiff brought the case in the wrong court.

Fuck the petty tyrants.

Do you know the difference between making laws as to interpreting laws? Judges are supposed to interpret laws not make laws. As an absurd recent example was the ruling that Trump had not the authority to impose tariffs. Curiously enough they allowed the tariffs to remain in place until October when SCOTUS will give the definitive ruling. Presidents in the past have always engaged in implementing tariffs to various degrees for the purpose of regulating trade. It is impractical for Congress to enact tariffs and certainly Judges are not allowed to enact tariffs. So in essence, what this ruling comes down to is that the Judges believe that Trump's implementation of tariffs was not a wise policy decision; which is way beyond the purview of the power that Judges have. I'm certain that this ruling will be slapped down by SCOTUS as it sure qualifies as a totally absurd ruling.

You know, for judges to not recognize that if The SCOTUS is regularly overturning their decisions, perhaps the problem lies in their decision making and not the higher court's decisions. That they fail to see that is kinda telling about the poor state of these lower court judges' decision making abilities.
