Without even reading the article, it’s a Trump appointed judge in some backwater Texas town isn’t it?
Edit: yup

5th Circuit Eastern TX again. It’s literally the same judge everytime. Sean Jordan. This guy sucks so hard.
Hot take: we should ban credit agencies.
Let me guess, though - it's not an activist judge?
Surely not!
Somebody needs to do it.
He's another Federalist Society judge picked by Trump. He also blocked a rule that would have extended overtime protections for 4 million government workers in 2024.

What an asshole
Aren't individual court rulings no longer supposed to affect anything but the specific case now though?
Trump v CASA ruled universal injunctions beyond the power of the courts. That means that the ruling can only offer relief to the parties in the individual case. As credit reporting agencies are nationwide entities this case would, by nature, apply to those agencies across the whole nation. I will imagine that this ruling applies only to those agencies party to this lawsuit. Even if that's not all of the big three, this suit will still signal to the executive that action against other agencies won't hold up in court and the CFPB will likely just give up on the rule.
This is my understanding. I'm not a lawyer. This is not legal advice (tm).
How convenient: in typical 'David vs. Goliath'-type cases of individuals being abused by huge corporations, good rulings in favor of the little guy apply extremely narrowly, while bad rulings have vast reach.
Just one person could take down flock license plate readers because it violates their 4th amendment right. It's already been ruled in several criminal cases and a lawsuit has moved forward. They can't reasonably avoid tracking one person because taking the photo is the issue in the first place.
That's exactly the problem with the CASA ruling. It's not localized by state,or even locality. If it were the battles could be fought state by state. Instead every individual person must fight their battle alone unless they can convince a court to certify their class for a class action. Even then the conservative justices affirmed in concurrences that they foresaw that work around and signaled that they were willing to scrutinize class certifications.
If you’re under the impression that that precedent is going to be used and enforced by the Tribunal of Six in anything resembling an even-handed manner, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
No, a single state isn't supposed to be able to block a nationwide thing. So, this could be limited to just Texas. But, it's likely I also don't know the correct answer to this with my limited understanding.
The case ruling not affecting things outside of the case was a very recent chance but I would not be at all surprised to learn it was only being enforced when the government feels like it.
I haven't said it in a while I guess.

Less than 0.5% of the people on this site are willing to back you. The rest are all defending Nazis because fighting Nazis "makes you the real Nazi".
Really? You really think that?
Maybe it's because organizing an actual resistance on public forums isn't the smartest idea. Or maybe it's because if anyone gets in a shooting match with the feds, they lose.
Or maybe it's because the US is so fucking huge it's nearly impossible to move equipment and people in large enough amounts without being intercepted.
Maybe the concentration of rebels is disproportionate to the location the feds are at.
It's easy to tell you aren't American because it's not just one of those, it's all of those. And more. At least the Nazis gave their loyalists reasons other than sheer hatred to support them. That's how fucking bad Heritage foundation is. They are worse than Nazis.
Add another name to the current administration and officials who will be jailed when this is over
It's a nice thought, but 'lol' is my answer to this.
