Federal judges anonymously criticize SCOTUS for overturning decisions with emergency rulings

Source: Fox News

“A group of anonymous federal judges is criticizing the Supreme Court for overturning lower court rulings and siding with President Donald Trump’s administration with little to no explanation, NBC News reported Thursday. NBC spoke with 12 federal judges, appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents including Trump, who pointed to a trend of lower court decisions being overturned by emergency rulings from the high court. These cases often see prominent members of Trump’s administration lashing out at lower court judges before their cases are overturned. Ten of the 12 judges argued the Supreme Court should offer more explanation when overturning such decisions, saying emergency rulings in such cases imply poor work on the part of lower court judges. ‘It is inexcusable,’ one judge said of the Supreme Court. ‘They don’t have our backs.’ That judge also said they have received death threats for issuing rulings that counter Trump’s agenda.” [editor’s note: So “affirm the Constitution” is now “counter Trump’s agenda?” – SAT] [additional editor’s note: You can have “affirm the Constitution” OR “Trump’s agenda.” Pick one – TLK] (09/04/25)
