#judges — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #judges, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Federal #judges—especially at the district level—are practically all that's left standing between this administration and its goal of supplanting #democracy in favor of American-flavored #fascism. #Democrats have to take every possible action to delay or deny confirmations to the Federal bench.

    If Dems somehow manage to take the #Senate this November, we can shut down the appointment of unqualified right-wing nutjob judges that have characterized this administration, once and for all. Until then, we can only exact a toll for each such nomination, invoking cloture under Rule 22 and utilizing every minute of delay made possible under that procedure.

  2. Check this guy's credits, he's the real deal. "We’re not just in a constitutional crisis. We’re in a corruption crisis. And the Supreme Court isn’t the solution. It’s the heart of the problem."
    Gives steps, how to fight: 1) Stop calling SCOTUS neutral, or thinking they'll save us. 2) Stop calling Tr^mp judges conservative. 3) Tell #Congress to fight.

  3. Federal #judges have found a number of US attorneys whose appointments were the result of unusual legal maneuvers by the #Trump admin to be serving unlawfully.

    Along with Sarcone, they include #AlinaHabba, who was the acting #USattorney in NJ, & #LindseyHalligan, formerly the acting US attorney for the Eastern District of VA, as well as a handful of others.

  4. Rally marking the 10th anniversary In memory of Luke Holland

    Rally
- Saturday, September 20, 2025, 4:00 p.m. Luke Holland memorial site Ringbahnstraße corner of Walterstraße (near Neukölln S-Bahn station)

    Luke Holland was only 31 years old. On September 20, 2015, he was murdered in the early morning by a neo-#Nazi on the street in Neukölln.

    Luke came from #Manchester and moved to #Berlin in 2014. He was murdered because he spoke English. Shortly before the crime, the murderer complained that “only #English and #Spanish were spoken” in the bar in front of which he committed the murder. Nazi #memorabilia, #weapons, #ammunition, and #explosives were found in his apartment. However, #judges and #prosecutors still did not want to establish a right-wing motive for the crime.

    Luke’s father, Philip Holland, believes that Luke’s murderer also murdered Burak #Bektaş in 2012 and that the lack of investigative pressure after Burak’s murder gave him the confidence to kill his son Luke as well. In the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the “Neukölln complex,” he sharply criticized the police #investigations.

    On the 10th anniversary of Luke’s death, we will gather at the site of his death to commemorate him. Please feel free to bring flowers and candles. No one will be forgotten!

  5. #Judges recount #DeathThreats, '#swatting' after rulings against #Trump

    A group of #FederalJudges took the rare step of speaking out about receiving death threats & mysterious pizza deliveries in the name of a judge's #murdered son after they blocked parts of Trump's agenda.

    "It was disturbing, it was frightening," Chief U.S. District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island said.

  6. In that 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, #SCOTUS directed lower court #judges like Sorokin that had blocked #Trump's policy to reconsider the scope of their orders.

    Rather than address the legality of #Trump's executive order, the justices used the case to discourage nationwide, or “universal,” injunctions — in which a single district court judge can block enforcement of a federal policy across the country.

  7. Under #SCOTUS’ decision, Trump's #ExecutiveOrder would take effect on July 27.

    Looking to seize upon an exception in the Supreme Court's ruling, the lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the decision allows #judges to continue to block #Trump policies on a nationwide basis in #ClassAction lawsuits.

  8. The judge said he would stay his ruling for a few days to allow the #Trump admin to appeal & would issue a written decision by the end of the day.

    The #ACLU & others filed the suit just hours after #SCOTUS on June 27 issued a 6-3 ruling, by its conservative majority, that narrowed 3 #NationwideInjunctions issued by #judges in separate challenges to Trump's directive. The suit was filed on behalf of non-US citizens living in the #UnitedStates whose babies might be affected.

    #law #judiciary

  9. #Judges have used other legal tools to block #Trump admin policies on a nationwide basis, including by finding the govt failed to comply w/ administrative #law, another exception in #SCOTUS’ ban on #NationwideInjunctions.

    Judges did so in 2 separate rulings last week blocking the admin from ending a program that allows 500k Haitians to stay & work temporarily in the #US, & requiring #HHS to restore govt websites that had been scrubbed early in Trump's tenure following an EO.

    #law #Judiciary

  10. The plaintiffs in the NH #BirthrightCitizenship case are looking to seize upon one of the major exceptions to #SCOTUS’ ruling. They argue it allows #judges to continue to block #Trump policies on a nationwide basis in #ClassAction lawsuits.

    The lawsuit, which was filed by the #ACLU & others hours after the Supreme Court ruled, seeks class action status on behalf of babies who would be subject to Trump's #ExecutiveOrder & their parents.

  11. One of the biggest tests of the impact of #SCOTUS’ ruling in #Trump v. CASA will come on Thurs, when a federal judge in NH will
    consider whether to prevent Trump's #ExecutiveOrder curtailing #BirthrightCitizenship from taking effect nationally on July 27.

    That EO was at the heart of SCOTUS’ ruling, which did not address the legality of the policy, but held that #judges likely lack #authority to issue #NationwideInjunctions & ordered 3 judges to reconsider rulings…

    #law #Constitution #Judiciary

  12. In the short time since the ruling, lower-court #judges have already blocked #Trump's #asylum ban at the US-Mexico #border, prevented his admin from ending temporary #deportation #protections for Haitian immigrants & forced the govt to restore #health websites deemed to run afoul of Trump's efforts to squash "gender ideology."

  13. The #Trump admin said it would move quickly to challenge #NationwideInjunctions. However, the ruling by #SCOTUS’ 6-3 conservative majority contained exceptions, allowing federal #judges to continue to issue sweeping rulings blocking key parts of Trump's agenda.

  14. #Judges keep blocking Trump's policies despite #SCOTUS injunction curbs

    #Trump called SCOTUS’ June 27 decision limiting the ability of federal judges to use #NationwideInjunctions to block his policies “a monumental victory”but his #legal win may be less definitive than it first seemed.

    SCOTUS’ decision curtailed the ability of judges to issue #UniversalInjunctions stopping the govt from enforcing a policy against anyone, anywhere in the entire country.

  16. 13 federal #judges, all appointed by #DJT and mostly based in TX (including Ken Starr's nephew Brantley, and #MatthewKacsmaryk who suspended FDA approved drug #Mifepristone), who have stated jointly they purposefully won’t hire law clerks from #NYC's #ColumbiaLaw due to school being #AntiSemetic "incubator of bigotry".

    #Yale and #Stanford #law grads have also been apparently blanket boycotted against by the same #ConservativeJudges for #campus climates they personally disagree with.

  21. In at least 14 states, "Bonds for the Win" activists attempted to serve #sham #paperwork to school districts, in several cases causing commotions that required police intervention.

    And the number of people joining their cause is quickly growing as misinformation about the strategy’s effectiveness circulates.

    On the chat app Telegram, where the activists organize, Bonds for the Win’s main channel grew from 700 subscribers to nearly 20,000 in the past month. Its members focus on #schools, but they have also served paperwork to a handful of #county #commissioners and discussed plans to go after other local officials, #judges and #sheriffs with similar claims.

    Bonds for the Win is using these battles as a way of drawing in followers, demonstrating how quickly a faulty fringe tactic can generate momentum as frustrated parents join forces with conspiracy theorists.

    #Miki #Klann, a QAnon adherent in Scottsdale, Arizona, who has said she believes AIDS is a hoax and that the Earth is flat, founded Bonds for the Win in December.

    “We want the people to understand their 'sovereignty'.” Klann said in a recent video

    The group’s strategy of intimidating government bodies with paperwork has been used in the past by #sovereign #citizens
    -- loosely affiliated #rightwing #anarchists who believe federal and local governments are operating illegitimately.
