Despite the Constitution saying that Congress has the power of the purse this judge grants an injunction against Congress saying they can't defund planned parenthood but offers no legal reasoning why.


The blatant unconstitutionality of this decision and lack of reasoning has reached new highs (lows).

How fast can the Supreme Court tell this person they are a moron?

How come one individual judge gets to make such a decision?

There are 18 other district judges in MA. Shouldn't they get a say?

Yeah, she has no jurisdiction to do that.

It will get overturned.

Personally, I wouldn't support ignoring a court ruling, even one as stupid as this. Go the legal route, it'll be slapped down quick.

Can SCOTUS sanction lower judges for overstepping their authority?

Time to start removing activist judges when they overstep their authority.

They are not 'elected' so cries of 'what about the democracy' shouldn't be relevant.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Can't congress defund the judge?
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

Now that SCOTUS has ruled that district judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions, any district judges that do should be ignored. They are ignoring a supreme court ruling.

This is not a "nationwide injunction" that SCOTUS just shot down.

But it's a terrible ruling nonetheless!

I don't understand why judges that make these ridiculous rulings aren't impeached. Laziness on the part of Congress.

Because it would be an exercise in futility.

There aren't enough votes in the Senate to remove the judges from office, even if the House impeaches.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

It's not enough that "this won't stand". That judge need to be impeached, disbarred and imprisoned.

The judge said "for good cause shown"

Can a con lawyer in here explain what in the Sam Hill that could possibly be?

Let me break this down. First there will not be enough votes to convict in the Senate. Every member of Congress, and all their staff, know this.

Then you would have to take the articles through committee, shutting that committee down with wild antics, then to the house floor. Then the House would have to appoint managers and staff and prepare a trial in the Senate. Then the Senate is basically shut down during that trial for a week or more. This would divert a ton of resources, sap a ton of time and lead to huge grandstanding and fundraising, mostly on the Democrat side.

And then it will fail. Predictably. So you can wag your finger at Congress for being lazy. But the whole thing would be an unnecessary circus to accomplish nothing.

There is an excellent argument that the judge is not acting on good behavior but that's another giant can of worms.

Is impeachment the right call on paper? Yeah, 100%. Would it work? Not a ghost of a chance.

Sanction?

The judge should be hung for sedition.

So her enforcement order applies to who? Will she hold every GOP member of congress in contempt unless they restore funding to Planned Parenthood? What if Congress says " gee, we would like to comply but we just don't have the money, can you help us with the funding?".

Precisely why I thought impeaching President Trump was dumb. But, y'all can continue to call me a radical leftist if that makes you feel better.

Our constitution does not demand that men be angels… but it does require a significant moral through line. When a president (and senators) enthrones activists as justices, the recourse (congressional removal) from the same body is highly unlikely.

The best defense being a good offense: keeping the presidency out of Dem hands remains key to minimizing further contortions of the judiciary.

The main reason it was "dumb" is that Trump didn't do anything wrong and his impeachments were purely partisan and nothing more than efforts to prevent him from governing as he was lawfully elected to do. The impeachments were leftists thwarting the will of the American people.

In this instance, impeaching a judge who is subverting the Constitution is justified. This judge does not believe in the rule of law.

This is 100% outside the role of the judiciary. The judge is acting illegally.
