re: #186 Dopamine Fish

Ugh. Judicial review is a fine concept, but a single federal judge should not be able to singlehandedly halt the operation of the entire federal government just because they say so. Now, I understand; the problem here is that activist judges are using extraordinary remedies (injunctions) where they aren’t called for under the circumstances. But the fact is, they have the power to unilaterally decide that an injunction is proper, and no one can check them on it except Alito’s Calvinball Court. That feels wrong. I don’t know what the right answer is, but something has to change.

Some on SCOTUS actually want to limit forum shopping so that you can’t just go to the friendly judge willing to grant every requested relief no matter what statutes or caselaw states are allowed.
