Judges uncorked

Chief Justice Roberts should worry less about impeachment charges going no where and more about district judges who have been forum shopped and are massively overstepping their role.

This latest ruling to ban DOGE from reviewing Social Security information to find fraud is nonsense. The government can and should review all its data for possible fraud — this is not a search warrant — this is data in its possession that modern data analysis can analyze effectively. And the department routinely hires consultants who have access to this information. Rather than demanding privacy safeguards, which might have made sense, the judge barred all review of social security data to hunt down fraud. It’s time for Roberts to step in here and put some guardrails on what these lone judges can do as they are routinely exercising vast powers far in excess of what is reasonable.
Flying Court Orders

I find it hard to believe that a district judge believed he is empowered to overrule the defense department and homeland security on matters related to national security on a preliminary basis with planes in the air.

These were migrants here illegally believed to be members of the most dangerous gangs being sent to their home countries where they could be properly adjudicated.

He could well have halted future flights or asked the DOJ to request the home countries to hold these migrants but ordering defense department flights in mid air in international airspace is incredible chutzpah that implies powers to mere district judges beyond anything that is reasonable. And it is rewarding forum shopping in the extreme. Find a judge anywhere in the US and they now have even international authority with instant orders.

The higher courts have to rein in these district court judges whose district they claim is now the entire world and adopt orderly systems of adjudication of urgent matters that includes supervision of these judges and requires at least circuit court approval of orders that go beyond their districts.
