Daily Signal:
In a brilliant opinion Monday, New York federal district court Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil not only denied the preliminary injunction sought by the American Association of University Professors and the American Federation of Teachers, she threw out their lawsuit against the Trump administration entirely.
If the justices on the Supreme Court want to finally act against the unlawful nationwide injunctions and judicial warfare being waged against President Donald Trump, they should use her opinion as a model.
In the case, the radical American Association of University Professors—which is pro-Hamas and only believes in academic freedom for left-wingers—sued the Trump administration over its withholding of $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University. It also sought to prospectively enjoin the administration from terminating or otherwise pausing another $5 billion in grants and contracts.
The other plaintiff, the American Federation of Teachers, is similarly woke, with its president, Randi Weingarten, recently resigning from the Democratic National Committee because—believe it or not—she doesn’t think the DNC is radical enough. No, really.
Columbia University did not participate in this lawsuit, a factor the judge obviously considered significant. She pointed out that “conspicuously, Columbia, whose grants and contracts were terminated and whose funding is the subject of the relief Plaintiffs seek, is not a plaintiff.”
...
Judge Vyskocil is right. Nationwide injunctions by a district court are a mistake. Only the Supreme Court has nationwide authority of this nature. The district courts issuing these injunctions are the real threat to democracy in this country. The plaintiffs in this case are trying to overrule the voters who elected a presdient that the plaintiffs disagree with.
