Good day all. We have been watching the federal district court judges, primarily what have become known as COB judges, (Clinton, Obama and Biden), flat out usurping authority they do not have under the Constitution. The rulings by the Obama and Biden judges have been particularly egregious.
Most of the rulings by these COB judges have revolved around the actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as they have been rounding up all the illegal aliens that the Biden Maladministration allowed into the country. Almost all of these rulings by the COB judges have been thrown out either by the appeals courts or the Supreme Court. Now another judge has been flamed by yet another appeals court. Here are the details from RedState:
A panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals scorched a Canadian-born, Obama-appointed judge for her heavy-handed and illegal imposition of operating procedures on all federal officers operating in Illinois. The majority opinion said the order imposed by Judge Sara Ellis, “impermissibly infringes on separation of powers principles. It effectively established the district court as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago.” It also hinted that her legal maneuvering was calculated to appear to dismiss an unconstitutional order while preserving the ability of future litigants to breathe new life into the suit.
The case started with the violent protesters obstructing immigration enforcement operations during “Operation Midway Blitz.” When they found out that this was not going to be treated the same as the George Floyd Memorial Riots and Looting Festival and that Border Patrol tactical commander Greg Bovino’s guys were more than willing to mix it up, the communists and anarchists ran to mommy.
That did catch the Libtard Antifa types off guard. They were used to Democrat controlled cities and states ordering the police to stand down. It never occurred to them that when it comes to Federal Laws, Federal agents don’t play games. When these thugs started attacking Federal Agents, those same agents let them have it. Then they arrested them.
In early October 2025, a group of protesters and journalists sued a host of federal defendants. They believed officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) violated their First and Fourth Amendment rights by using tear gas and other chemical agents to break up protests without justification. The district court agreed with the plaintiffs and entered a sweeping preliminary injunction regulating all federal immigration enforcement efforts districtwide. The government promptly appealed that order.
This is when that moonbat of a judge decided that she was in charge of the Government and not the Executive and Legislative branches.
Three days after plaintiffs filed this lawsuit, the district court entered a sweeping temporary restraining order not limited to the Broadview facility. It enjoined all law enforcement officers in the Northern District of Illinois, as well as federal agencies and the Secretary of the DHS, from using certain crowd control tactics and tools. It also required the defendants to regularly inform the court of its efforts at implementing the injunction.
I commented on this last year shortly after that idiot judge issued her orders. Her orders were a direct assault on the separation of powers and the Trump Administration. Ellis’s order was something that no lawyer on either side of the political fence had seen before. It was amazing that DHS didn’t tell Judge Ellis to drop dead and that her illegal order was going to be ignored. They appealed it instead. The Seventh Circuit slapped down the order almost immediately.
First, it puts the court in the position of an inquisitor rather than that of a neutral adjudicator of the parties’ adversarial presentations. Second, it sets the court up as a supervisor of Chief Bovino’s activities, intruding into personnel management decisions of the Executive Branch. These two problems are related and lead us to conclude that the order infringes on the separation of powers.
After being slapped down, and the plantiffs being told to pound sand, they decided to try something else instead.
Keenly aware that the Supreme Court had slapped down the ability of random judges to issue nationwide injunctions, the demonstrators got a friendly judge to grant them class action status. This meant that other demonstrators could be included as part of the “class” of plaintiffs, and the judge could effectively create a nationwide injunction on ICE tactics.
On November 6, the district court granted the plainti?s’ motion for a preliminary injunction. Certifying the proposed class, the injunction enjoined all federal law enforcement officials in Chicago, as well as multiple federal agencies.
That was right over the top and a blatant assault on the Administrative Branch.
Two weeks after granting class certification and preliminary relief, the district court issued a full opinion. It contained over 170 pages of fact-finding, including many incidents that did not involve named plainti?s and occurred far beyond the Broadview facility. The court also found that all the plaintiffs had Article III standing to sue for injunctive relief and concluded they were likely to succeed on the merits. On the facts, the district court found the government’s witnesses categorically not credible. This tilted all the testimonial evidence in the case in the plaintiffs’ favor.
This “judge,” and I use that term loosely, wasn’t just biased, she had also prejudged the case. Like all the COB judges, her job was simple. Do whatever it took to aid the Democrat Party. This is when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals stepped in and lowered the boom on Judge Sara Ellis. Now the case could be appealed to the full Seventh Circuit Court of appeals, a so called “en banc” hearing. It’s unlikely that they will overturn the decision. If they did, it goes to the Supreme Court and they will also shut it down.
Without question, we are seeing a literal constitutional crises in the process of occurring. Far to many of the lower court judges, almost all of them appointed by Democrats, are actively working to overthrow the Trump Administration and by extension, the Constitution of the United States.
I’ve mentioned in the past that the Congress needs to deal with these corrupt, power mad judges and the methods allowed to them by the Constitution. If they don’t, then things will get worse and eventually, you will have a president simply inform the courts that any ruling that violates the Constitution will be ignored, and possibly, judges could end up being indicted.
Perhaps Chief Justice John Roberts will finally remove his head from his ass and start taking action against some of these judges. There are things that SCOTUS can do, or so I understand. One of the things I’ve heard is that a judge could be “Taken off the Bench” and benched, to use a baseball term. Basically not allowed to hear any cases. SCOTUS could also reach out to Congress and tell them that a judge is completely off the rails and needs to be removed.
In any case, something needs to be done and soon. This country cannot survive if people do not trust the courts to be honest, neutral arbitrators. The COB judges have shown that they will put politics over the Constitution and the Law and some will flat out ignore Supreme Court rulings. If people don’t believe they will get an honest shake, they will move in another direction, one we need to avoid.
