Public opinion reflects significant frustration and skepticism towards the judicial appointment process and the overall effectiveness of the judicial system. Many commenters criticize the current collegium system, expressing concerns over nepotism and lack of accountability. While some calls for reform emphasize the need for merit and transparency, distrust in the judiciary's integrity remains prevalent.

Everyone on the left was crying  Biden was president and Texas district judges were blocking his shit left and right. Now the same ones are complaining about this ruling

Specific to *Trump v. CASA*, Barrett's judicial minimalism is the correct course of (in)action.

For liberals, meanwhile, patience is key.

With that, I ultimately expect a direct Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment SCOTUS case apropos of Executive Order 14160 to go 6–3 (or 7–2) the other way, with Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito (as well as perhaps Gorsuch, too) in the Melville Fuller dissenter role.

Oughtn't overreact nor act hysterically.

Republicans keep doing this stupid shit to make the executive branch unstoppable and they’re going to realize why it’s a really bad idea once a Democrat takes office. It’s like people can’t see past 4 years.

Ngl when did this even become common practice because that's literally the job of the Supreme Court

This is the closest we'll get to the majority on the court calling a fellow Justice a r\*tard

“Speaking on the Court’s legitimacy, Justice Kagan observed: “It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years that it takes to go through the normal process.””

Supreme Court’s equivalent to: “Shut up that’s my job!”

This is incredibly stupid. Of course, the Supreme Court would only make this ruling to benefit a Republican President. No problem with injunction after injunction after injunction from a single district judge in Texas against Biden.

For reference if the gov fucks you over in a collective way - for example let’s say strips citizenship illegal from 100,000 - every single one of those 100,000 now has to sue the government for relief.

Utterly lawless decision from SCOTUS, and the legacies of the conservative justices are permanently ruined. When the Democrats are in control they should pack the court to the brim.

I don’t hate this ruling - as long as the SC/circuit courts are willing to take up issues of nationwide importance in a timely manner.

There have been examples of abuse of this that those of us who are left of center were rightly upset about as well (looking at you, Matthew Kacsmaryk).  In general this actually serves to make judge shopping a bit less effective, which is mostly a good thing.

Supreme Court W. I mean it’s only right… that’s like if a Governor would try to control nationwide laws

Don't expect the judiciary to get any better anytime soon.

Jeez, who would have thunk a shadow docket of scattershot rulings would be a nightmare to navigate

Not even a week in and an Obama, Bush and Reagan appointee have already gotten injunctions done within the narrow bounds of the new ruling - only a Trump, Biden and Clinton left to fill the Bingo card.

(But, in all seriousness, the law is a lot more complicated than most of us not lawyers know. And more complicated than most of the people voluntarily working for the White House understand, apparently.)

Pretty sure I called the big “injunction ruling” a non-ruling; lower court judges still have many options available and well if they get wrong, that’s what the appellates are for. Hopefully another tact lower courts try is just rushing to declare the action unconstitutional and unenforceable from the get go, skipping the injunction; cite some case law, but leave it to the appellates to take their time and expand on the ruling if needed.

I’m sure it’ll be fine since he respects the law and courts so much (/s!) WTF
