A dozen federal judges across the political spectrum have spoken out against the Supreme Court’s handling of cases involving President Trump amid intense public scrutiny of lower court rulings.
The 12 judges spoke to NBC News on condition that they not be identified out of fear of retaliation, so it’s unclear who they are or where they located. NBC reported the slate includes judges “appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents, including Trump, and serving around the country.”
They pushed back on what they described as a pattern of emergency rulings from the conservative-leaning high court in response to lower court decisions on contentious cases involving the Trump administration. Three of the Supreme Court justices were picked by Trump during his first White House term.
Federal judges who spoke to NBC News said the Supreme Court should better explain its emergency rulings.
They told NBC News they fear that the Supreme Court’s handling of cases involving Trump has validated the president’s criticism of lower court judges.
