I was just thinking about TEXAS JUDGE recently and how messed up it is that SCotUS isn't putting the kybosh on these universal injunctions, which have no legal precedent. It seems like a real danger to individual judges that we're still pretending they have the power to control the executive. Because so long as people believe that is true, then any organized criminal threat could apply pressure to issue the injunction, and the judge, not caring if it would hold up, would be stupid to not just do it.
Like, if I was TEXAS JUDGE, I'm appointed until I'm impeached. If MS-13 says, if I don't do the injunction, they'll kill me, but only after I'm forced to watch my family being skinned alive. Meanwhile, the consequence of doing what they say in this one instance is that people go "harumph! bad ruling! no likey!" I know what I would do (not me personally, but TEXAS JUDGE me) I'd ask for a bunch of cocaine and then do what they said, while high on cocaine.
