Congress should impeach lower court judges who ignore Supreme Court decisions

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The American judicial system is under siege, and the culprits are activist lower court judges who think they can override the Supreme Court and the will of the people. Justice Neil Gorsuch called out lower courts on Thursday for a pattern of defying Supreme Court rulings, and he’s absolutely right to sound the alarm. These rogue judges are trying to sabotage President Trump’s agenda, and it’s time for patriots to take notice.

The latest battleground is the Trump administration’s push to cut millions in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants tied to divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and gender ideology nonsense. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, allowed the administration to move forward with these cuts, marking the “third time in a matter of weeks” the Supreme Court had to reverse a lower court on an issue it had already addressed, Gorsuch wrote. This isn’t a one-off mistake—it’s a deliberate pattern of defiance that threatens the very structure of our judicial system.

“Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court’s decisions, but they are never free to defy them,” Gorsuch wrote in an opinion joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening. In April, the Supreme Court greenlit the Trump administration’s termination of DEI-related teacher training grants.

But in June, a Massachusetts federal judge, William Young, had the audacity to block similar NIH grant cuts, citing the dissenting justices while ignoring the majority ruling. This is judicial activism at its worst—judges cherry-picking opinions to push their own agendas.

I have been a lawyer for several decades and have never seen anything like this out of a lower court. Congress should hold these lower court judges to account.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
