Federal Judges go to media to trash SCOTUS and fight in the court of public opinion.

In rare interviews with NBC News:
They are not suppose to have your back. If they had your back, there would be no need for our system. They have the LAW's back.
Then stop your BS!
I mean..

quote:
Ten of the 12 judges who spoke to NBC News said the Supreme Court should better explain those rulings, noting that the terse decisions leave lower court judges with little guidance for how to proceed. But they also have a new and concerning effect, the judges said, validating the Trump administration’s criticisms. A short rebuttal from the Supreme Court, they argue, makes it seem like they did shoddy work and are biased against Trump.
quote:
“It is inexcusable,” a judge said of the Supreme Court justices. “They don’t have our backs.”
They are not suppose to have your back. If they had your back, there would be no need for our system. They have the LAW's back.
quote:
All 12 judges spoke on condition that they not be identifiable, some because it is considered unwise to publicly criticize the justices who ultimately decide whether to uphold their rulings and others because of the risk of threats.
quote:
The Supreme Court, a second judge said, is effectively assisting the Trump administration in “undermining the lower courts,” leaving district and appeals court judges “thrown under the bus.”
Then stop your BS!
quote:
“It’s almost like the Supreme Court is saying it is a ‘judicial coup,’” the judge said.
I mean..

There are ways to start smacking down these activist circuit court judges ... but it's up to John Roberts.
It appears that Roberts is close to his wits end from what I've read. This latest stunt may prove to be the proverbial straw.

This is a HUGE violation of judicial canons.
Roberts needs to send an order to every federal judge that they are to affirm, in writing and under oath, that they were not the judges in that interview.
When they all come back, that means 12 are lying.

Exactly. Federal judges are elected for life, yet they want to be left alone to render their obviously......not legal.....biased opinions. Once they've been on office for a few years, they feel totally invincible.

It should be.

The judges aren’t supposed to speak out like this because it violates their code of ethics. TDS is rampant in the judiciary and legal profession.

Yes, that's exactly what they're saying.
Because that's exactly what these judges are doing.
Because these judges are political activists masquerading as judges.

They are supposed to have the Constitution's back and so should all the rest of the judiciary.

Would be nice.
This is rather sad.

Extremely perturbed when their leftist activism from the bench gets (appropriately) swatted down.

Here is the ball kicker., and Obama Judge agrees with this. I was shocked:
quote:
A judge appointed by President Barack Obama said that while the Supreme Court could do more to explain itself, some lower court judges had been out of line in blocking Trump policies.
“Certainly, there is a strong sense in the judiciary among the judges ruling on these cases that the court is leaving them out to dry,” he said. “They are partially right to feel the way they feel.”
But, the judge added, “the whole ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ is a real issue. As a result, judges are mad at what Trump is doing or the manner he is going about things; they are sometimes forgetting to stay in their lane.”

Which canon does this violate?

These a bunch of youtube videos of these DEI idiots being questioned while going through the nomination process.

I once thought our system could be salvaged but honestly I think the entirety of the system is going to either destroy itself OR it is going to get torn down and rebuilt...
What a joke we have allowed ourselves to become...

Amy Coney Barrett Fires Shot Across the Bow at Activist Judges: ‘Not Kings’
"On the restraint judges must exercise, Justice Amy Coney Barrett writes, 'We judges don't dispense justice solely as we see it; instead, we're constrained by law adopted through the democratic process,'" one post on X read about the article.
And when it comes to the role of judges, Barrett wrote, "Like Americans more generally, judges hold diverse views about the values by which a just society should live. Yet under the Constitution, the choice between these competing views is made by citizens in the democratic process, not by judges settling disputes."
"On the bench, we must suppress our individual beliefs in deference to those that have prevailed in the enacted law," she added. "Our job is to protect the choices that citizens have made, even when we disagree with them…"
"[Judges] They are referees, not kings, because they decide whether people have played by the rules rather than what the rules should be," Barrett continued.
At one point, Barrett discussed her own personal views, such as when it comes to the death penalty, and made it clear that she can't let these beliefs clash with her duty as a judge.
"For me, death penalty cases drive home the collision between the law and my personal beliefs. Long before I was a judge-before I was even a member of the bar—I co-authored an academic article expressing a moral objection to capital punishment," Barrett wrote. "Because prisoners sentenced to death almost always challenge their sentences on appeal, the tension between my beliefs and the law is not one that I could avoid as a young law clerk, much less now as a judge."
"The people who adopted the Constitution didn't share my view of the death penalty, and neither do all my fellow citizens today," she added.

So they went to NBC news to tell the world they’re not smart enough to figure out what the Supreme Court is telling them?
Not a good look for a federal judge.
