I know this would never cross your mind, but there may have been good legal cases presented./——/ That never stopped the activist judges from blocking Trump’s lawful EOs or did you forget that?Judges make ruling based on law because they know that they will likely be overturned by a higher court if there decision is not based on law. This is why a judge when rendering a decision will cite legal precedents in defense of their decision. For a judge, being overturned is seen as a rebuke./——/ And you are that naive.Courts make ruling based on points of law, not newspaper articles and opinions of reporters./---/ "Since the law does not require the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee to state a reason for the request, how can a judge rule the reason is a sham?"
Maybe the judge reads the paper and has a clue.
Administrations, both republican and democrat win about 70% of their cases. The Trump win rate stands at 6% which is why conservatives constantly blame loses on liberal judges even thou many of those judges were far from being liberal.
There's a simple reason for the administration’s repeated defeats. In case after case, judges have rebuked Trump officials for failing to follow the most basic rules of governance for shifting policy, including providing legitimate explanations supported by facts and, where required, public input. In 2/3 of the cases, the administration was trying to short cut the legal procedures by failing to present sufficient grounds for the court to rule in there favor.
What you apparently do not understand about federal judges is all of them have politician biases, some strong and some weak but they all have some politician leaning. Regardless of the judges biases, his decision will be reviewed if either party carries the case forward. In each decision, the judge will specify the legal precedents, evidence of the case, and how his decision was reached. Any judge that does not base his decision on sold legal grounds will be overturned, regardless of his political opinion.
For a judge, having his decisions overturned is akin to an employee whose boss is constantly overriding him. He find himself with lesser assignments and not being considering for higher positions. Political partisanship of federal judges is greatly overstayed.
Why Is the Trump Administration Always Getting Shut Down in Court?
Yep, doesn't seem to bother the 9th circuit court though.
