Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Even at her worst, Alina Habba, the brainless twat who had to be repeatedly lectured in Law 101 and can't file paperwork on time, isn't this incompetent.

bakingfool.bsky.social•6 days ago

I fear he's added an amendment to his "big beautiful bill" that will affect the ability of the Federal courts to defy him.

It almost seems like they’re intentionally thumbing their noses at the Constitution and daring the courts to see if they can stop them…will they?

bluebev.bsky.social•6 days ago

So fucking what! If in the end there is no enforcement of the rulings what difference does it make that he looses.

Hell, they're defying SCOTUS ! Who's gonna stop them ? We're done as a democratic republic. Please, prove me wrong

mi-forest.bsky.social•6 days ago

he doesn't want to obey the "rule of law"

he wants to BE the rule of law!

he needs to be held accountable and, sadly, it doesn't appear like our government is set up to actually handle an aberration like trump & the republicans.

wolfgabe.bsky.social•6 days ago

I should also point out to those saying SCOTUS will give him a free pass that there already many cases where he has lost SCOTUS

He gives zero fucks about anything. The only thing he cares about is being on TV 24/7/365 and getting all the attention all the time. He is a full blown narcissistic sociopath toddler full of flatulence and petulance 💩🤮

Without consequences he'll continue doing what he wants no matter what the courts say.

Has the Trump Admin abided by any of the rulings?

But Miller tells Trump that they are winning most of them.

nancyv1151.bsky.social•6 days ago

I just hope that when that goes to the Supreme Court, that they don't rule that the federal courts have no jurisdiction in telling Trump and his government what they can't do. If they agree with Trump, we've lost this country.

How are we going to save Medicaid, Medicare, and Social security? If I lose my coverage I will appeal and if necessary, sue.

bewildered37.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because SCOTUS is hopelessly corrupt, it is acquiescing to Trump’s subordination of the judicial and legislative branches to his Fascist rule. Alito and Thomas lead the corruption that has destroyed the reputation of SCOTUS. They are obviously unfit to sit on the bench of any court in the world.

abrxs.bsky.social•6 days ago

It must mean that they are all activist judges who are part of the Deep State and are working together to conspire against Trump.

Yeah, that's it! That's the only possible answer.

ianxz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Maybe you could tell us. Is this something that SCOTUS could overrule? I am baffled, because I've seen no reporter, no Senator or Congressman, not even any legal scholar like yourself, even mention, let alone alert us, about this imminent path to dictatorship

The judiciary is strong and upholding our constitution and our laws. The regime is lawless and corrupt.

pcbgma.bsky.social•6 days ago

Except for the Supreme Court

lonevoice.bsky.social•6 days ago

So what - when we have a Constitution that is spineless in enforcing itself, when it comes to the President, a Supreme Court with a majority that enforces its ideology than the Constitution?

I was just wondering if this time for the Second Amendment was written, for we are under attack by our own government. Not a constitutional lawyer, but we are being attacked by our own government

rabelaisclay.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can the law constrain a man like Trump now that he has the power of the Presidency. While Trump is distracting the nation with tariffs, trade wars and assaults on universities and government agencies, he is using the office to enrich himself enormously. Dictators don't obey the law they are the law.

neil-1936.bsky.social•6 days ago

Shouldn’t posts be more aggressive when referring to a Supreme Court that is ‘unwilling to uphold the law? America is calmly disintegrating.

joethompson.bsky.social•6 days ago

YET................when held accountable for "not obeying the rule of law!".......if you can get away with it it doesn't matter....and so far it sure seems Orange Clownie has not been touched...and successfully gamed the rule of law and abused due process to become Asshole President....

czech-queen.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm pleased that the courts, as of now anyway, are upholding the law

stpetedave.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don’t even think they are surprised by the rejection rate. I think we’re at the throw shit at the wall and see what sticks stage once they find out what stick they’re all in and the pain will start getting worse for those folks.

ejseader.bsky.social•6 days ago

What good is it with no one to enforce court rulings?

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m keeping my fingers crossed the Judges are making sure they’ve given the Govt substantial benefit of the doubt before they start using the tools with teeth they have available. They want to be certain they will not be overturned on appeal…

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•6 days ago

This article talks about these tools:

ejseader.bsky.social•6 days ago

From what I understand, that ‘big beautiful bill’ contains a blip of a provision that effectively knee caps the court’s ability to enforce contempt citations.

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep!

I’m not at all certain Congress can even do this, legally speaking.

cooljenim.bsky.social•6 days ago

If that shit makes it thru the Senate, will trigger instant lawsuits

ejseader.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hopefully the senate republicans know better (they seem to have been awfully quite as their house counterparts continue to dig themselves an early political grave).

loveisgreater.bsky.social•6 days ago

Brutal right up to the point that they pass the tax/spending bill. Then the provision the GOP added that will strip power away from the judges to hold him and his people in contempt will be the law of the land.

crgshldn.bsky.social•6 days ago

They are not even trying to obey the law - that's the issue

lcament.bsky.social•6 days ago

It would be nice if they would stop breaking laws . Try to govern like humans. Gop is not normal. Sadly

deahfrenchblue8.bsky.social•6 days ago

Because, despite who appointed you, you become a judge you instantly get woke.
Newest definition of "WOKE" 'Any judge adjudicating cases by following the law and the US Constitution'...
Because soon anything lawful will be deemed not only woke, but the work of "left liberal lunatics"

If the budget passes now making policy, which is completely illegal with the parliamentarian, judges will have no authority to stop the horrific things that the Felon is doing on a nationwide level effectively democracy will be over. There will only be the executive power left.

What good does it do, though, if the rulings can't be enforced? Is there any way to enforce them? What about the US Marshals, or are they corrupt too?

camelshitonthewall.bsky.social•6 days ago

Until we see real consequences/tangible accountability, though, it doesn't seem to matter where it needs to matter: in our PRESENT frigging reality.

crosetti.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thanks to an ideologically slanted & biased Supreme Court we can’t charge the mentally deranged Trump with his unconstitutional crimes & lock the MFer up.

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•6 days ago

Their guiding star is apparently "But when these cases all get to SCOTUS, we'll win them all, and we'll win the popular narrative by lying and slick PR." And so far, they've succeeded in both arenas far more than we'd hoped.
