Explain to me why one US District Judge can stop Trumps deportation policy, remove alligator Alcatraz, or put wolves back on the endangered species list? Keep this non-political please, if that’s even possible.

The judges can't keep it non-political.

Because congress won't do their job, that's the long and short of it.

They certainly can decide what happens in their district, after that it becomes complicated if the issue has nationwide implications. It is the court's responsibility to interpret and enforce laws and the Constitution. Do you want the Executive branch or Congress or Agencies or States to be able to ignore the law and violate them without recourse?

Donald Malloy in Missoula needs to be banished from the USA. He’s 100% in the back pocket of all the radical environmentalist NGO’s.

Possibly the 4th Ammendment could apply to the Alligator Alcatraz. Never understood how a judge could have so much power.

A decade ago, NC citizens voted for a state amendment to require voter ID. It was not enforced for several elections later even though the amendment passed with a wide majority.

Because there are no consequences to an activist judge when they do. There needs to be an appeal score and when they get overturned one time too many, they are kicked off the bench. If bad enough, they get disbarred.

And while we are at it, when it comes to Federal lawsuits filed in DC, the jury pool available there is not representative of the country. Something like 92% vote democrat. So the left wins all jury and grand jury decisions. Only remedy I can come up with is for Federal lawsuits that involve a judge and jury, those are going to have to be imported from all over the US. Pretty sure some guy from a place like my home county, what voted for Trump 8:1 all three times, is not going to see things the way a DC resident does.......yet is affected by those decisions just the same.

You can thank the lawyer class in this country that set up a closed pool of candidates for judicial nominations. Got to have a law degree, pass and accepted to the bar, hold a license to practice on a state by state basis, play nice with the ABA. In other words you have to be politically acceptable in both action and thought or get disbarred and run out of the profession. Now consider judges are the highest rank.

But our founders included a means to curtail that called impeachment. But guess what profession those doing the impeaching come from?

JMO, but the whole licensing scheme needs to be abolished and the third party bar associations stripped of power. I'd like to see intelligent and knowledgable laypersons sitting on the bench. Afterall, isn't that what the intent of jury of peers means. Ain't none of those bottom feeders in robes my peers.

Agree. Congress has basically handed off its power to the President.

I have criticisms of the judiciary but am glad we have them to protect the Constitution.

Oh You mean ignore the Law like the Judges are able to do?

Do you want the judicial branch to be able to ignore law and violate them without recource?

My perception Of lawyers changed quite a bit after reading what a couple on here write, which has also changed what I think of Judges.

My perception of lawyers and legal system changed after seeing how things worked for a couple relatives in divorces. And my own involvement in a lawsuit. None of it good. In fact, in every case.......the opposite of good. Has only reinforced the old saying that its only 99% of lawyers that give the rest a bad name.

No! Maybe you could answer my question?

Judges that do not follow the Constitution, Regardless of precedent, should immediately be impeached , and held untill their trial. That would stop alot of this BS.
They do not get to "interpret" the Constitution, They must "follow" the Constitution.

Pam Bondi deputized a bunch of law enforcers as Deputy US Marshall's so they can go anywhere they need to.
Chicago mayor signed an executive order forbidding their police to cooperate with Federal agents or military

When the time comes turn about is fair play. Chicago needs about 10,000 National Guard for six months.

Sounds like the DC mayor is actually liking the changes that have come around since the crackdown on crime.

I know of several high ranking people who laugh at the law. Just watch the news daily. Trying to stay apolitical.

This is where politics come in. It depends on the congress and the judges political affiliation.

When it comes to lawyers and judges, respect and admiration for a virtuous law has LONG LONG been gone.

And besides, who would arrest the judges, lawyers or politicians? Most of the time the only reason judges, politicians and lawyers get arrested or kicked out is if they have had an affair, dirty ties to investments, bribes, dirty or dishonest real estate deals, or being drunk and something happening while under the influence of alcohol or some other substance. And that's only if they get caught. Sadly, I truly believe most are already doing one or all of these violations I mentioned.


A lot lawyers and judges laugh at the system when it comes to them personally. They consider themselves above peasant law and untouchable.

One way would be to have all lawyers and judges declare if they are freemasons or not. Look into it. Oh wait it's a secret.

Especially after the US Supreme Court ruled against them.

I figure John Roberts set the precedent of legislating from the bench and the district judges are following his lead.

And also not answering the question.

It's quite simple, one or more laws were broken. If you think the Court is wrong, appeal. If you don't like the law, go through the process to get it changed , don't just ignore it .

Laws don't need to be broken, activist judges have an agenda and will do anything to get where they want to go. When they get overturned nothing happens to them. So in many instances no laws were broken but actions were delayed. Be a lot less if when overturned they lost their position and they got disbarred. That would be simple.

What if the system is rigged?

When the system has unlimited time and resources and most notably zero personal accountibilty, aka sovereign immunity, the average Joe can't get justice.

We now get the justice we can afford.

“…..all the judges and half the lawyers.”

It took congress exempting the snail darter from the ESA before the Telico dam, a 13 year TVA construction project, could be put in service. Congress will have to do the same thing for wolves and grizzlies to take it out of the hands of leftist judges.

Feed the leftist judges to the wolves and grizzlies. Problem solved.

What law was broken in the great lake states that would have required wolves put back on the endangered species list. Wolves were never actually endangered in Minnesota.

"Rep. Don Young (Alaska), the longest-serving Republican congressman, said in 2018, "As the one person in the Congress, the only one, that voted for the Endangered Species Act, please beat me with a whip."[140]"

The ESA is a bad law. Blame Congress.

Laws don't need to be broken, activist judges have an agenda and will do anything to get where they want to go. When they get overturned nothing happens to them. So in many instances no laws were broken but actions were delayed. Be a lot less if when overturned they lost their position and they got disbarred. That would be simple.

This has held true for too long now!

Answering the question, No, I do not want them to ignore law and and violate them without recourse to answer you as you precisely want. However, I know of several high ranking people who laugh at the law. Just watch the news daily. I hope that extra sentence helps you understand what I was saying and hoping you would get that inference.

Guess not.

I never understood how when wolves were delisted in MN a female judge from Maryland could see that wolves were put back on the endangered list in MN! What does a judge in Maryland know about or have to do with the wolf situation in MN????

My guess is the lawsuit was brought against the USFW headquartered in D.C.? USFW is the agency that does the listing. Not to mention D.C. district would be good judge shopping.

P.S. The listing applies to more than just MN wolves also.
