Never? Thought so.
The only TRO I think was “right” is that contractors need to be paid for work done, and that blanket orders refusing to pay is not a “contract dispute”. I believe the administration is indeed paying the contractors as they should.
I didn’t agree with any of the other TRO’s, but the appropriate response is not to impeach judges you disagree with, or fail to obey the ruling, you appeal the ruling through the appropriate process. Or you change the law governing the power of district judges as is being discussed in Congress.

The 5-to-4 decision vacated a temporary restraining order that required the Department of Education to reinstate the canceled grant funding to California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin. The grants were first terminated in early February after the Education Department said the programs ran afoul of the president’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs. (This is one of at least two lawsuits challenging the teacher training grant cancellations.)
Justices behind the majority opinion say the district court lacked the jurisdiction under the Administrative Procedure Act to issue the temporary restraining order. They suggested that the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which handles contract-related cases, would have been better suited.

I’ve had a chance to review the recent SC decision as well as the dissents by Sotomayor and Jackson. Without digressing into the weeds on the merits of the decision and any weaknesses in either sides arguments, I’m just floored that this case made it this far. I think it’s an interesting commentary on what our Country has become, politically.
For example, the basic argument of this gang banger illegal alien is that he is a “refugee” that is entitled to asylum because he belongs to a criminal gang subject to the ire of another criminal gang. That is an argument for what? So , now, Bugsy Moran wants asylum in Switzerland because Scarface is trying to kill him? I am forced to think of Christopher Guest’s line in Spinal Tap: “There is such a fine line between clever and stupid” But here we are. Welcome to modern day America where an argument like that is the basis for a case that makes its way to the Supreme Court rather than being dismissed outright in connection with the original asylum claim.

My wife and I pay our bills, put away for retirement, and tithe for our church and other preferred charities.
I’ll gladly laugh at any comment about my employment. It’s made out of ignorance and anger if said in a negative manner. Thats not my problem, it’s the problems of those who make the statement.

🚨BREAKING: The DOJ revealed that Trump assassin Ryan Routh tried to buy military weapons from Ukraine to kill Trump, including a ROCKET LAUNCHER.
Routh asked the Ukrainian Military for a “Stinger or RPG to take out Trump”because Trump would be “Bad for Ukraine”
Routh goes on to say the weapons of war — that are paid for and supplied by the US military — get lost “all the time on the battlefield” and no one would miss them.
Has Ukraine illegally smuggled US weapons to kill other world leaders or State enemies?
