Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Rebuke Lowly District Court Judges for Defying Their Superiors

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.
"Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this court's decisions, but they are never free to defy them," Justice Neil Gorsuch admonished in an opinion last week tied to the court's decision to allow Trump to cancel nearly $800 million in research grants.
The rebuke, which was joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, flipped the narrative that it is Trump who has pushed legal boundaries with his flurry of executive orders and support for impeaching judges who rule against him. A wave of legal conservatives took to social media to tout Gorsuch's warning.
"This is now the third time in a matter of weeks this court has had to intercede in a case 'squarely controlled' by one of its precedents," wrote Gorsuch, who was Trump's first nominee to the high court. (Kavanaugh was Trump's second.) "When this court issues a decision, it constitutes a precedent that commands respect in lower courts."
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."
...
Carrie Severino, president of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, cheered Gorsuch's opinion on social media, writing that "yet again" it had "become necessary to remind district judges not to flout orders of the Supreme Court."
But just how judges are supposed to approach the Supreme Court's emergency orders -- particularly when they are opaque or include little explanation -- has been open to debate.

A lot of the fights are over Trump's cancelling of payouts to Democrat shill organizations. The reason the Supreme Court is getting angry is this: Cases about money, claims about whether the government owes someone money or must honor a contract, are to be resolved only in the Federal Claims Courts, which are Article I courts -- courts run by the Executive itself -- and not Article III courts, courts established by Congress to be party of the Judicial Branch.

Left-wing judges serving in Article III courts repeatedly ignore this because they want to take these cases to attack Trump. And the Supreme Court keeps telling them "Cases involving money disputes must be, as they always have been, taken up by the Article I Federal Claims Courts," and the left-wingers in the Article III courts keep pretending that they're very confuse by this 140+ year old arrangement and keep pretending they've found nifty new arguments that allow them to take the cases themselves, and issue emergency injunctions.

And that's the key. If a case goes to the Federal Claims Courts, they go through a normal trial process to determine if money is owed.

But these left-wing DEI judges don't want to go through a trial. They want to issue emergency injunctions on their own authority, right now, without the bother and delay of a fact-finding trial.

So they keep asserting they have jurisdiction, and then issue emergency injunctions demanding Trump pay the lefties off.

And no matter how many times the Supreme Court reminds them that, yes, cash-money claims against the government are in the jurisdiction of the Federal Claims Courts and not you bitter DEI judges appointed by Biden and Obama, they keep crediting left-wing litigants' arguments as overcoming this historic division.

And thus the anger. They haven't just explained this. They've explained it ten times now, and they're angry that they even have to explain it, because this is well-settled law going back to the nation's founding.

Here is some of Gorsuch's rebuke:

Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court's decisions, but they are never free to defy them. In Department of Ed. v. California, 604 U. S. ___ (2025) (per curiam), this Court granted a stay because it found the
government likely to prevail in showing that the district court lacked jurisdiction to order the government to pay grant obligations. California explained that "suits based on 'any express or implied contract with the United States' " do not belong in district court under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), but in the Court of Federal Claims under the Tucker Act. Id., at ___ (slip op., at 2) (quoting 28
U. S. C. §1491(a)(1)).

The Administrative Procedure Act is a law giving people the right to sue for unfair rules and regulations promulgated by Executive-branch personnel. These are pseudolaws, not ever passed by Congress but instead churned out by federal bureaucrats, and because they are constitutionally iffy, citizens have the right to sue if they claim they're unfair or unreasonable.

Lowly (left-wing) district court judges keep claiming that disputes that are obviously about money -- which are in the jurisdiction of the Federal Claims Courts -- might maybe possibly be seen as "unfair rules," so they keep asserting that they have jurisdiction to hear these cases.

And the Supreme Court keeps saying: No, disputes about money are for the Federal Claims Courts, please stop asserting jurisdiction you don't have just so you can stick it to Trump.

And they keep saying: But we wanna.

Rather than follow that direction, the district court in this case permitted a suit involving materially identical grants to proceed to final judgment under the APA. As support for its course, the district court invoked the "persuasive authority" of "the dissent[s] in California" and an earlier court of appeals decision Californiarepudiated. Massachusetts v. Kennedy, ___ F. Supp. 3d ___,
___ (Mass. 2025), App. to Application 232a (App.).

In other words: Rather than taking the Supreme Court's opinion as the law, the lowly leftwing district courts are choosing to elevate Ketanji Brown-Jackson's sole dissent in the case into the law they will follow. They're ignoring the Supreme Court's actual rulings and deciding "But we like Ketanji Brown-Jackson's dissent better, so now that's the law."

That was error. "[U]nless we wish anarchy to prevail within the federal judicial system, a precedent of this Court must be followed by the lower federal courts no matter how misguided the judges of those courts may think it to be." Hutto v. Davis, 454 U. S. 370, 375 (1982) (per curiam).
In casting California aside [that is, in ignoring the actual Supreme Court ruling], the district court stressed that the Court there granted only interim relief pending appeal and a writ of certiorari and did not issue a final judgment on the merits. ___ F. Supp. 3d, at ___, App. 229a. True enough. But this Court often addresses requests for interim relief--sometimes pending a writ of certiorari, as in California, and sometimes after a writ of certiorari is granted, as in Mahmoud v. Taylor, 606 U. S. ___ (2025), and Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, 606 U. S. ___ (2025).
And either way, when this Court issues a decision, it constitutes a precedent that commands respect in lower courts.
Of course, decisions regarding interim relief are not necessarily "conclusive as to the merits" because further litigation may follow. Trump v. Boyle, 606 U. S. ___ (2025) (slip op., at 1). But regardless of a decision's procedural posture, its "reasoning--its ratio decidendi"--carries precedential weight in "future cases." Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U. S. 83,104 (2020) (opinion of G ORSUCH , J.); see also Bucklew v. Precythe, 587 U. S. 119, 136 (2019) ("[J]ust as binding as [a] holding is the reasoning underlying it").

The justices are incensed that they are forced to explain what "precedent" is to a supposedly-qualified (DEI) judge.

And California's reasoning was clear. There, the Court explained that "the APA's limited waiver of immunity does not extend to orders to enforce a contractual obligation to pay money . . . . Instead, the Tucker Act grants the Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction over suits based on any express or implied con-
tract with the United States." 604 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 2) (internal quotation marks omitted). That reasoning binds lower courts as a matter of vertical stare decisis.
...
If nothing else, the promise of our legal system that like cases are treated alike means that a lower court ought not invoke the "persuasive authority" of a dissent or a repudiated court of appeals decision to reach a different conclusion
on an equivalent record. ___ F. Supp. 3d, at ___, App. 232a.
...
For these reasons, I concur in the Court's decision to stay the district court's judgments vacating the grant terminations. If the district court's failure to abide by California were a one-off, perhaps it would not be worth writing to address it. But two months ago another district court tried to "compel compliance" with a different "order that this Court ha[d] stayed." Department of Homeland Security v. D. V. D., 606 U. S. ___, ___ (2025) (KAGAN, J., concurring) (slip op., at 1). Still another district court recently diverged from one of this Court's decisions even though the case at hand did not differ "in any pertinent respect" from the one
this Court had decided. Boyle, 606 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 1). So this is now the third time in a matter of weeks this Court has had to intercede in a case "squarely controlled" by one of its precedents. Ibid. All these interventions should have been unnecessary, but together they under-score a basic tenet of our judicial system: Whatever their own views, judges are duty-bound to respect "the hierarchy of the federal court system created by the Constitution and Congress."

17 The goal here of the lower courts is NEVER getting a 'ruling'- it is ONLY to disrupt the pace of the President, put in a blocking maneuver, and attempt to undermine authority. The second tier reason is to allow statements to fund raise from- as in 'See? we tried, but those pesky laws got in the way! Give us $$$ to help us win!'
Then chant another 10 or 20 hokey songs and slogans on the street.

24 "A lot of the fights are over Trump's cancelling of payouts to Democrat shill organizations."

That's why the left fights these fights with such berserker fury. And why leftwing shitdick judges are so eager to intervene on behalf of the left to try to stop Trump.

They all know that these payouts are the supreme lifeblood of the entire Democrap party. Without this money, the party will shrivel like Adam Schiff's scrawny balls in Artic waters.

This is the ultimate hill they will die on. They have no choice. I'll admit that I didn't realize until Trump shut down USAID -- and some fantastic digging and reporting by Big Balls and DataRepublican -- how insanely deep the corruption and gravy trains went.

We the taxpayers were literally funding 100s of billions of dollars right to the Democrap party. The Democraps will fight this to the bitter end, with their lives if necessary. Captain Ahab was never so desperate.

26 Note that Supreme Court Justice John Roberts' BFF, the Trump-hating, freedom-despising, radical Leftist Lawfare Architect Norm Eisen is one of the attorneys representing the Federal Reserve Governor and Mortgage Fraud Maven Lisa Cook.

Roberts previously traveled to the Czech Republic, where he and Norm Eisen secretly conducted a series of week-long meetings in a secure diplomatic compound. We still don't know what Roberts and Eisen were discussing, and it doesn't look like Big John will ever be forthcoming on that matter.

I'd bet there are 3 or 4 justices willing to pull the trigger on it now, but they can't get the 1-2 more to do it.

"The process is playing out as it should through appeals," sort of stuff.

But, Gorsuch is obviously sick of it, and Alito and Thomas are always willing to slap a silly judge around. That seems to be 3.

ACB is obsessed with process, and Robert would probably never do it. So even if Kav is on board (I wouldn't put it past him to be, dude is solid), they'd still need ACB to get past the whole, "let the process play out," thinking.

And when he got into trouble, the other 8 (Dems and R) told him they would support his impeachment if he did not resign.

They are not elected and don’t answer to the people. Nobody ever has the balls to pursue the high bar set for impeachment, mostly because they are cowards. The courts are clearly the lefts Fifth Column and an active part of the effort to subvert our republic. Yet, nothing is done. I also don’t care what the majority is on SCOTUS. We were never meant to be hanging on their decisions in order to receive our God given rights in the constitution.

There is nothing under heaven that prevents the District Judges to tell SCOTUS to go bugger off. The "How Many Divisions Does The Supreme Court Have" works for the District Judges too.

The major difference is that the District Judges are doing this as purely a Flood The Zone effort hoping like killer drones, some will make it through any defense. At the same time, the defense is spending huge amounts of resources to defend these lawless Judges.

Roberts is worse than the pro-Nazi judge who gave Hitler a sentence of 18 months for an attempted armed insurrection. At least the pro-Nazi judge sent Hitler to jail, Roberts gave Trump a free get out of jail card.

Roberts makes me sick. He is on record as saying the rule of law has been “endangered”. Well, hell’s bells, what else did he and his five partners in crime expect, when they ruled that Trump could do as he pleased and when he pleased? Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson might as well resign, for all the good their dissenting statements do.

Yes, SCOTUS can. They're just not doing it.

They can remove justices from hearing certain classes of cases, or even remove them from hearing cases at all. The highest court can't fire them or change their pay (that's limited to impeachment by Congress).

I'm not sure if it stems from the reform acts of 1802 or 1937 or the original Judiciary Act of 1789, though.

Yes to both of these. Most federal district court judges are wise enough to resign when sentenced to prison. Walter Nixon did not and was in prison drawing a salary as federal judge. He challenged his impeachment and removal to Scotus and Scotus blandly washed their hands of Walter. Impeachment was to them a political matter. Back just before Justice Douglas resigned, his colleagues told him plainly that if he did not resign, they would all support him being impeached and removed. He resigned.

And, a district court judge in Houston TX area could not keep his hands off staff and his words to himself regarding sexually harassing people that came around him in official duties. Essentially not impeached but sitting in a rubber room and not assigned any cases whatsoever nor staff.

I agree. Plus, being a SC judge is an incredibly prestigious, incredibly powerful, and incredibly cushy job. She can't be shamed out. Hell, they couldn't get rid of The Notorious RBG even as she slipped into senility and poor health.

The only possibly way is if the powerbrokers offered her a hugely lucrative no-show job to resign. But why would they do that? She's exactly what they want, and she's young.

Nah. Action Jackson will cling to her SC seat until they drag her away in a hearse.

189 124 Roberts and the other 5 White Supremacists on the billionaire bribed Supreme Court have shredded the Constitution. 95% of case outcomes at the Supreme Court can be predicted by answering the question: What outcome does Trump want?

Roberts is worse than the pro-Nazi judge who gave Hitler a sentence of 18 months for an attempted armed insurrection. At least the pro-Nazi judge sent Hitler to jail, Roberts gave Trump a free get out of jail card.

Roberts makes me sick. He is on record as saying the rule of law has been “endangered”. Well, hell’s bells, what else did he and his five partners in crime expect, when they ruled that Trump could do as he pleased and when he pleased? Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson might as well resign, for all the good their dissenting statements do.

MAGA will turn on Roberts (and perhaps others) at some point. Watch. It's Alito's court now.

208 I'll second the above that Jackson's opinions are incredibly bad.

But, counter-intuitive, I think she is driving the Court to the right.

Because her rantings are so bad, so poorly reasoned, so often open personal attacks and so devoid of law that she is doing a fantastic job of warning why the liberal position cannot be allowed.

My wild theory is that the Illegal Midnight Order was Roberts doing a favor for one of the liberals, trusting them and getting ACB on-board.

These types are cosplaying Resistance. Whatever you say about Stalin, the guy soaked his fingers in blood in order to bring about the Revolution and risked immediate execution if caught. Lenin had smarts, and Mao's crew had some military talent.

Action Jackson risks dirty looks and rando comments and a fat stipend even if she loses again and again. When the Revolution occurs, if ever, the hard violent types end up ruling--not the squishy posing sinecure types.

212 I think the reason Republicans/conservatives won't even attempt to impeach rogue justices is because they are afraid of the backlash they would face from the press. The kind of backlash that can threaten re-election hopes.

Right. Because we've come to depend on their friendly, gentle treatment of our side.

This one was so antisocial yet schizo, it did not know from one minute to the next what was on his mind. We may never know what meds he was on. I have no pity for him nor his parents, I'm just saying my demented who and what's may never be answered.

If I was his mother I'd have cooperated with law enforcement, for starters. Said I tried, etc, and did not give him cash, that was daddy-o (who owns the murder van). Instead she gets an attorney. Which is weird vs saying she's sorry her son killed innocents for starters.

Maybe trannies (and Dims) need their own little island or country. Like Chernobyl. They could not get much worse. Or some could spawn and be like the current deformed dogs and animals. But they would be fenced off from the rest of mankind.

That is the whole point, though, only the successes are told, not the actual struggles and who was responsible for the failures, besides the heroic loss of the Spanish Republic by the Fascists, the death of Trotsky and the CIA killing Che.
Karen Bass was CDN, and an amazing number of people in Obama and Biden's administrations can look back to SDS and Weatherman adjacent movements. and yes, most of them are, at the very base, politically Bronies who think the destruction is a plus to their side.

It said that the shooter was not transgender. After lengthy back and forth the debate was resolve with this statement:

"As previously stated, publicly available information, including police and court records and reports from reputable news organizations, does not include verifiable information about the suspect's gender identity.

Therefore, it is factually incorrect to state for certain that the suspect is or is not transgender."

235 It's even worse than it sounds, because the courts beneath SCOTUS are of an inferior substance. It would be bad enough if they were just beneath the Supreme Court in a hierarchy internal to Article III, but that is not all. Only the President, Congress and SCOTUS are Constitutionally co-equal; all other Federal judges are on par with Senate-confirmed cabinet members, having positions created by mere statute. They're so far over their skis, they're out of their boots.

237 "They will, one day. District court defiance diminishes the authority of the Supreme Court. Three rulings on the same case, essentially overruling higher courts?"

If that really bothered the Supreme Court Justices, they would have smacked down the lower court judges a long time ago. Therefore, they have more compelling motives. Judging by their actions, their more compelling motive is to pretend to support the Constitution while really supporting Leviathan. Or at least not openly defying it.

240

Is there any disciplinary action that SCOTUS can take against these district court judges?

If not, can they approach Congress with an official request that these specific judges have impeachment proceedings initiated against them, since that is in Congress' wheelhouse?

Has that ever been done before? Is there any precedent? If not, maybe it's time a precedent was set.
Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at August 29, 2025 04:06 PM (O7YUW)

Each SC justice is 'in charge' of one of the circuits and could conceivable discipline a rogue judge. Taking the assignment of cases away from judges and enforcing random selection would go a long way. Boasberg for one is definitely fixing the assignments to himself.

I'd think that if the SC just nullified cases without merit that defy precedents like this. Sanctions could follow as part of the administration of the federal courts and become a new precedent.

Its pretty much been only 8 months, most of which was setting the decisions in the normal fashion. The defying of the Supremes is much more recent. I would have expected Roberts to be in the lead of not screwing up his empire, but he's surprised me in his fecklessness in this.

243 "Supreme Court's emergency orders -- particularly when they are opaque or include little explanation -- has been open to debate."

They are NOT opaque or include little explanation. They are like someone pointing up at the sky and saying, "the sky is blue." It requires little explanation, because only an idiot (or left-wing judge) would find reason to disagree.

It is such an obvious point of law, first year shit, the Supreme court doesn't need to explain it, hell, they are EMBARASSED to explain it.

244 I think the only solution is for the Chef Justice to grow a pair and refer some of these lower court judges to the congress for dismissal.

The Constitution authorizes the impeachment of federal judges, but it nowhere says that they can be removed only through impeachment. Article III conditions a judge’s tenure on continued “good behavior”; the clear implication is that misbehavior can terminate a judge’s stay in office. Repeated defiance of clear and unambiguous laws, and supreme court directives, should be sufficient grounds for termination. The supreme court refers such judges to congress, who then votes on their termination.

You don't actually have to do it, just threaten it. And make sure that the lower court judges know this is because they are clearly and openly defying clear precedent and black letter law.

245 "The justices are incensed that they are forced to explain what "precedent" is to a supposedly-qualified (DEI) judge."

That is a violation of law, that is a crime, that is impeachable.

These fucking arrogant fucks who practice and worship "The Law" like Turley, need to man up and ENFORCE IT, within their own fields, otherwise you end up with more KBJ's.

In the military, if you fuck up, you get fucked up, apparently in the more "scholarly" professions, even if you aren't a scholar you just get a slap on a wrist, even if the FUCKING LAW says you should be shut the fuck down.
