Not a Conspiracy: Federal Judges and the Rule of Law

In this powerful short from Episode 47 of See You in Court, Professor Stephen Vladeck challenges the narrative that federal judges are politically targeting the Trump administration. Backed by new research, Vladeck reveals that 46 rulings against Trump-era policies came from 39 judges appointed by five different presidents from both parties—across 11 federal district courts and 7 circuits.

This isn’t about partisan politics—it’s about judicial independence and the integrity of the legal process.

What If a President Ignores the Supreme Court? Vladeck on Legal Red Lines

What happens if a president defies a Supreme Court ruling? In this powerful segment from Episode 47: The Shadow Docket, Georgetown Law Professor and constitutional scholar Stephen Vladeck breaks down the chilling implications of such a scenario—and why the federal courts remain a critical bulwark even in turbulent times.

🧠 Vladeck explains:

• Why ignoring court rulings could unravel the entire legal system

• How subtle defiance can be more dangerous than overt rebellion

• Why lawyers—and voters—must defend due process as a red line

• And how recent examples (like the Alien Enemies Act deportation case) are testing the system now

⚖️ “Even if the courts can't act directly against Trump, they can act against everybody else. The rule of law only holds if we all agree it matters.”

Texas v. Razor Wire: Supreme Court Ruling with No Explanation?

In this short but revealing clip, Professor Stephen Vladeck explains how a high-stakes Supreme Court decision allowed the Biden administration to remove razor wire at the Texas border—without offering any explanation for the ruling.

🧠 Why does that matter?
Because when the Court rules without reasoning, it leaves elected leaders, lower courts, and citizens unsure of their rights and responsibilities. It’s not about politics—it’s about transparency and the rule of law.
