How are they not doing their job? A judge's job is to *judge*. They have basically zero ability to gather evidence, that is the responsibility for the parties to the case. Would you have them issue a ruling before being presented with evidence? That makes no sense. But at the same time harm can come from not issuing a ruling. Thus we have injunctions--if a judge feels a case is likely to prevail they can issue an injunction prohibiting actions which inflict harm that can't be remedied by the resolution of the case.
