As the White House sees it, there is a recurring villain in the drama of President Trump's second term.

Judges.

It's very, very clear that this is an activist judge.

From these radical rogue judges.

We have bad judges.

We have very bad judges.

And these are judges that shouldn't be allowed.

That was White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller,

and of course Trump himself, who was speaking to Fox News. Many of Trump's actions have ended up

before federal judges. His administration has pushed the limits of executive power. Acting without

Congress, Trump has reshaped and eliminated federal agencies, he's made major changes to U.S. immigration policy,

and he's imposed massive tariffs. And many of those actions have been blocked in court,

as Levitt complained in a White House briefing last month.

President Trump had more injunctions in one full month of office in February than Joe Biden had in three years.

Nationwide injunctions allow a federal judge at the district level to block a policy from taking effect all across the country.

So a federal judge in, say, New York, can block an executive order that would affect the entire country.

These are real judges in the court of law who are trying to block the president's power

and the policies that he was elected to enact.

Now, many legal scholars argue that there's a reason Trump is facing so many injunctions

and losing cases in front of judges appointed by both Republicans and Democrats.

University of Pennsylvania-Carrie Law School, testifying before a Senate subcommittee this month.
