Federal judges lash out over Supreme Court justices’ emergency orders
 
The Supreme Court has been active on its emergency docket in recent months, halting several lower court injunctions and causing anger from some of those lower court judges.

The justices have increasingly expressed frustration over lower courts continuing to rule counter to their orders on the emergency docket, leading to Justice Neil Gorsuch issuing a stern message in an order allowing the Trump administration to terminate $783 million in DEI-related grants from the National Institutes of Health.
 
“Lower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court’s decisions, but they are never free to defy them,” Gorsuch wrote, aiming at lower court judges.

Judges have pushed back on emergency docket rulings

While some lower court judges have taken heed of the justices' orders, others have continued to criticize the justices over the rulings from the emergency docket.

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

Federal judges to the supreme court:  I can't continue to be a political activist if you keep overturing my unlawful rulings.

Once again, I will assert that it will not and cannot be the justices of the Supreme Court who reign in the rogue judges at the trial and even appellate levels.

Nor will it be the Congress (who, even if they have the legal power, will not use it).

That job falls upon the president, Mr. Trump, who must establish "the Trump Doctrine" that will define (not only for himself, but for future presidents) "the balance" that will exist between the executive and judiciary branches of government.
