This discussion group focuses on attacks on the federal judiciary in our current political climate. District judges enjoining the administration's constitutionally suspect policies have witnessed the Supreme Court staying the injunctions on the emergency or shadow docket. This has raised a new phenomenon--open conflicts between the Supreme Court and lower courts, as the former complain about "defiance" of their interim orders and the latter complain about lack of guidance and clarity in those orders. That phenomenon enables and worsens long-standing divisions and conflicts with the other branches of the federal government.
