Federal Judges NEED to go on OFFENSE to PROTECT DEMOCRACY - Legal AF



Democratic Federal trial and appeal Judges in blue strongholds like NY, NJ, Delaware, DC, Maryland, and California, tied into Democrat dominant circuit courts like the 1st, 2d, 3rd, 4th, and 9th Circuits have to stop being "neutral umpires" and start being players in the game to uncage Democracy.

Michael Popok analyzes the importance of the Democrats filing lawsuits that should already be prepared against every Trump Executive Order and Project 2025 law we can think of now, have them ready and our judges picked out, to grind his administration to a halt from now until the midterms. - 11/07/2024.

There’s nothing new here - and conservatives hardly invented the federal judge-shopping game. But he just put on the record that he wanted judges to be activists regardless of what the law says.

What’s worse - he seems to forget that there’s a third level to the federal court system. None of this strategy makes any real difference if SCOTUS is just going to undo it.
