SCOTUS's Refusal To End Leftists' Judicial Coup Is Damaging Its Credibility More Than The Media Ever Could
[Federalist] Not a day seems to go by without some activist lower court judge issuing an overreaching injunction blocking part of President Trump’s agenda.
How can you further damage what you no longer possess ?
Throughout Wednesday and Thursday alone, judges across multiple venues handed down decrees barring numerous executive actions taken by the president since returning to office. From DEI to election policy, these cases are but a few of the more than 170 lawsuits Democrats and left-wing political actors have filed to sabotage Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him.
Despite this clear effort to destroy American democracy via a judicial coup, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) seems to have no interest in stopping it. The nation’s highest court has had ample opportunities to halt these lower court judges’ destructive antics but has repeatedly declined to do so.

The first notable instance of this cowardice came to fruition in early March. In a 5-4 decision, a majority on the court declined a request from the Trump administration to shut down a ruling from a Biden-appointed district court judge. The judge had ordered the State Department and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to disburse roughly $2 billion in foreign grants to nongovernmental groups.

#1 SCOTUS will likely not end what it has become an integral component of.

Meanwhile, the Congress sits back and does nothing.

#3 Judicial Branch has no control of $ or Force, depending on their moral authority. Lose that and their power is over.

#4 To correct #1: Meanwhile Congress continues to cash every paycheck received and collect every benefit of office each member can grab.

#7 The process is at least identifying the bad actors. Not sure what to do about it, but playing Marco Polo to locate the enemies has some value.
