If I gave you a list of judges and asked you which ones that you would trust to give an opinion on any current matter before the courts then your answer would be 'Any one that rules in favour of the administration'. And we all know that that is your criteria.
Your opinion on any matter before the courts is then worthless.

It's actually just the opposite. Radical judicial activism took a leap in order to try and stop Trump from becoming president. There is real hatred for Trump and whoever associated with Trump, and sadly many district attorney and judges are willing to abandon the law

Let's get real. If I gave you a complete list of all judges and asked you which ones you'd trust to give an honest verdict then you'd look each one up to check to see if he'd decided for or against Trump at any time.
The opinion on judicial matters of anyone who'd need to do that would be, as I said, worthless. It's the same as me asking you if you are prepared to accept any decision made by the courts, or even the SC. The answer would be 'Well, that depends on whether they make a decision with which I agree or not'.
It's a nonsensical position to hold.

How, exactly? Please give specific details about how the judiciary attempted this.
It's been quite clearly demonstrated that even if Trump were to be convicted of a felony, that would not prevent him from running for president, being elected as president, or even serving as president. So his indictments would not have accomplished that goal, even if that were the intent.
So, I have to ask, what SPECIFICALLY did anyone do to prevent Trump from becoming president?
Again, please give specific details about how anyone, judge or DA in any jurisdiction, abandoned the law.
I understand you believe this happened, but as has been explained several times on this forum, that is simply not the case. The judges and DAs in each and every trial Trump has been involved with followed the law, and any challenges Trump's legal team have attempted to argue otherwise have not met with success. I'll grant that there are appeals in the works, and those outcomes remain to be seen, but even if there are some constitutional issues to be resolved, there have been no blatantly illegal methods used against Trump. And the fact that Trump's legal team haven't been able to demonstrate any bears this out.
Fact is, there is no evidence of judicial impropriety whatsoever, and no evidence that anyone, anywhere, has abandoned the law.
Trump's words, spoken in public and not under oath, are not evidence of anything.
-- A2SG, anyone who believes a word Trump says shouldn't be anywhere near a used car dealership, for their own good....

Interesting statistics.
data4democracy.substack.com
The Trump administration lost 26 out of 27 cases brought by it or against it in district courts during May-2025. That's up from 51/67 in Apr-2026 and 26/35 in Mar-2026.
In total, of 142 cases brought against it, it has seen adverse rulings in 111 of those (a staggering 78.2% loss rate). Since February, the Trump administration has lost 72.2% of cases with Republican-appointed judges and 80.4% of cases with Democrat-appointed judges.
The Trump administration appears to be uniquely bad at following the law and winning cases in front of federal judges. That was true of Trump 45 and it appears to be even more true for Trump 47.
The 96% Rebellion: District Courts Mount Historic Resistance, But the Supreme Court Looms
GOP-appointed judges join an unprecedented judicial pushback against executive overreach. The data is stunning—but will it matter when cases reach higher courts?

Judge Boasberg starts with quoting Kafka, and moves on from there.
As I understand it, CECOT inmates will be able to sue for habeas corpus as a class. And the government must facilitate this as they have so ably done in the case of Abrego Garcia.

Trump administration can't require states to cooperate with ICE to get transportation funding, judge says
A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from requiring almost two dozen mostly Democratic states to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in order to receive billions in transportation funding.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned in April his department may cut off grants to any recipients that fail to "cooperate generally with Federal authorities in the enforcement of Federal law" — part of a wider gambit to push back against "sanctuary" jurisdictions.
The Rhode Island judge added that "Congress did not authorize or grant authority to the Secretary of Transportation to impose immigration enforcement conditions on federal dollars specifically appropriated for transportation purposes."
In a statement, Duffy called the ruling "judicial activism pure & simple" and said he will "continue to fight in the courts."

- Trump vowed to remake the government using executive orders he said would quickly undo many of the Obama administration's policies. According to NBC News’ count, he signed 29 in his first 100 days. But Biden, who vowed to undo many Trump policies using executive orders, signed more than 40 in his first 100 days, according to the Federal Register. (Obama signed 19.)
- By the numbers: How do 100 days of Biden and Trump (and Obama) compare?

Federal judge issues new nationwide block against Trump’s order seeking to end birthright citizenship
The ruling from [W-appointed] US District Judge Joseph Laplante is significant because the Supreme Court last month curbed the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions, while keeping intact the ability of plaintiffs to seek a widespread block of the order through class action lawsuits, which is what happened Thursday in New Hampshire.Ruling from the bench, Laplante granted a request from immigration rights attorneys to certify a nationwide class that “will be comprised only of those deprived of citizenship” and issued a preliminary injunction indefinitely blocking Trump’s Day One order from being enforced against born and unborn babies who would be impacted by the policy.

I dont believe thats how class action suits are supposed to work.
Several conservatives, including Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, warned against courts using class-action litigation to essentially supplant the kind of nationwide injunction the court had just shot down.
“Lax enforcement of the requirements” for certifying a class, Alito wrote in an opinion joined by Thomas, “would create a potentially significant loophole to today’s decision.”
Federal courts, he added, “should thus be vigilant against such potential abuses of these tools.”
Whether Laplante’s decision is an “abuse” or exactly what the Supreme Court had in mind will likely wind up back before the justices in short order.
A class action begins when lead plaintiffs file a complaint in court on behalf of a larger group. This document outlines the facts, names the defendant, defines the proposed class, and details the legal claims. This filing pauses the statute of limitations, or the legal deadline for filing a claim, for all potential class members.
Following the initial filing, the plaintiffs’ attorneys file a motion for class certification. The defendant has the opportunity to oppose this motion, leading to a hearing where both sides present arguments. The judge then issues an order either granting or denying certification.
If the class is certified, a formal notice is sent to all potential class members explaining the lawsuit and their rights. The case then proceeds through discovery, where both sides exchange evidence, and moves toward either a settlement or a trial.

Clearer guidance would be welcomed.
It seems to me as though the judge in this case has properly certified the class. He then issued a temporary injunction on behalf of the class. I fail to see how that qualifies as "abuse," but perhaps you can enlighten me.
