Supreme Court Warns Defiant Rogue Judges: You’re Not Above the Law
9 Comments / By Kyle Stevenson / August 24, 2025
 
Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a pointed warning criticizing lower courts for repeatedly defying Supreme Court decisions in cases involving the Trump administration.

Gorsuch, writing in an opinion joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, said the Court’s decision allowing the administration to move forward with cutting millions in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants was the “third time in a matter of weeks” that the justices had to overturn a lower court on an issue it had already addressed.

“Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court’s decisions, but they are never free to defy them,” Gorsuch wrote.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There is nothing in the article which even suggests the warning comes from the court, only Gorsuch.  From what I've seen, either the court is impotent to enforce its rulings or too weak.  This is exactly how the US got to be such a mess, the legal system going rogue to protect certain politicians or political ideologies.  It is a symptom of a country on its way to disaster. :reaper:
