I mean what the lower courts have been doing is a unprecedented overreach of power on their end. Why does a district judge in buttfuck Wyoming get to block an executive order? That’s NEVEr happened before Trump. I don’t really love or hate what Trump is doing, but you have to be able to look past your opinions on him and understand that this was not the normal way things have gone in the past and this will alleviate that.
He is certainly pushing the boundaries of what the president can do but you might notice that most (if not all, but I’m not 100% sure) of these injunctions have been done away with and his action proceeds but it just delayed. Im not a fan of Trump either I’m just saying by the numbers he is being block an absurd number of times by irrelevant district judges which isn’t really a good look for the system that was in play especially considering people already question why Trump was treated -
“district judge” yes a *FEDERAL* judge. This is literally their jurisdiction. This isn’t an overreach this is literally the responsibility of federal courts in regards to constitutional cases. It never happened before Trump because nobody was doing insanely illegal things that required it.
Yeah because he’s behaving differently. Is it unfair that we have regulations on airlines because we didn’t have them before airplanes were invented. Not much need for federal injunctions when the federal government isn’t violating the constitution. For all his sins, Bush mostly didn’t violate the law.
