A simple but true statement from the seventh circuit court.

“federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch”

Boy. Hard to really not see how relevant this statement is to what is happening in the court systems today. District court judge after district court judge have been using their own opinions about what should be done to try to overrule how the executive branch is performing their business. In many cases the legal premises are almost non-existent to the actual rulings or they simply fudge the meanings just enough to make them sound as if they are applicable to the situation.

They rely on terms like unconstitutional when what they really are explaining is why they do not like something. A judges negative opinion does not make an act unconstitutional, but you wouldn't understand that by reading some of these decisions. Some are even less willing to pretend and will issue rulings that seem to make little or no reference to any law, any constitutional authority, but rather chastise the decision making as if wearing a robe makes them officially authorized to tell them what to do.

What is even more maddening is that in so many cases, the media seems to defend these decisions and then attack the appellate or USSC courts as being pro-Trump or even wanting to expand executive authority. The reality is that it is these lower court judges who are attempting to expand the authority of the judicial branch to include little more than political oversight. That is what elections and voters are for, not what the courts are for. There doesn't appear to be any slowing down of these ridiculous decisions by the district courts, no matter how hard the superior court judges slap them down.
