The "level" of a federal judge has no bearing on the judge's authority. If you disagree with a judge's opinion, you can appeal to a higher court. Ignoring a judge's order, whether you are the president or anyone else, is not a legal option. [contains…

If there are Democratic Senators who plan on voting for the GOP budget, other than Fetterman and Schumer, they should say so now and articulate their reasoning. Elected officials should not hide their intentions from their own constituents.
