Gorsuch and Kavanaugh warn lower court judges in Trump cases.

'In Donald Trump’s long-running feud with federal judges, the president has found some support in an unlikely place: the nation’s highest court.

A growing sense of frustration with some lower courts — articulated in terms that at times sound similar to Trump’s own rhetoric — has crept into a series of opinions this summer from the Supreme Court’s conservative justices as they juggle a flood of emergency cases dealing with Trump’s second term.

Other conservatives have been just as harsh this year. Justice Samuel Alito in March accused a federal judge in another case involving a Trump policy as committing an “act of judicial hubris” and “self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction.” . .

Days later, speaking to a group of judges and attorneys in Kansas City, Kavanaugh defended the court’s sometimes terse emergency orders.

Kavanaugh kicked off his speech by extolling the virtues of an independent judiciary. And he stressed that judges have a part to play in maintaining that independence.

He mentioned no specific case or judge, but the message could easily be read as a yellow flag for lower courts.

“Members of the judiciary have an important responsibility, of course, that goes with maintaining the independence — that responsibility, of course, to get it right, to do our hard work, to understand our role in the constitutional democracy,” Kavanaugh said. “We’re not the policymakers.”

2. To believe that Alito, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch really

want an independent judiciary would be hysterical if it weren’t so dangerous.

Once again the media fails to do their job.

3. Independent judiciary

Where do we find that, because its not in DC.

4. The fucking hypocrisy from Kavanaugh

Members of the judiciary have an important responsibility, of course, that goes with maintaining the independence

They are literally excepting hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars in gifts from billionaires that have issues before the court, either directly or indirectly.

The arrogance and audacity to such bullshit to an audience that damn well knows better.
