6 thoughts on “How We Should Think About The Injunctions And Restraining Orders”

  2. Joe De Genova was on the radio Monday 3-17-25 ( WMAL @7:07 see link below ) and talked about how the judiciary is moving into constitutionally protected space reserved for the POTUS. He spoke of the case involving the TdA terrorists that Trump threw out of the country over the weekend. An anti-Trump judge in DC issued a TRO and ordered the planes carrying the terrorists to Venezuela to turn around and bring them back. I don’t believe this happened.

    The bozo judge in DC was the same one who, when chief of the FISA court, gave a slap on the wrist to Kevin Clinesmith of the FBI who doctored a CIA report to fraudulently get a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page. This DOJ is playing for keeps and Bondi has some good lawyers able to defend the president’s powers to run the Executive Branch and protect the nation against fools like this DC judge.

    1. Fred, conservatives have spoken about judicial impeachments for many years; but I don’t recall it ever having been attempted during recent times. The Chief Justice won’t do anything. The appeals process takes years. What other remedy is there than to ignore the rulings?

    Trump-Era Court Paralysis Explained

    In RealClearInvestigations, Ben Weingarten examines the movement to reform universal injunctions, judicial orders issued at record rates to hamper President Trump in both of his terms in office. Such orders allow any of the nearly 700 federal judges to prevent the president from enforcing policies not only against those bringing a case but against anyone, anywhere.

    The injunctions come in response to the 100-plus lawsuits that, critics argue, blue states, progressive nonprofits, and ex-government officials have deliberately brought before sympathetic judges – a tactic known as “forum shopping” or “judge shopping” that both parties have employed.

    Democrats and progressive legal scholars argue these injunctions are a necessary brake because Trump is creating what they call a constitutional crisis by pushing the bounds of his office.

    So far, the Supreme Court has been unwilling to resolve the conflict, despite past pleadings from Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch and the Biden administration.

    In one blistering dissent, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that he was “stunned” that the court’s majority had affirmed the “unchecked power” of “a single district court judge.”

    Frustrated, congressional Republicans are moving to pass legislation to curtail universal injunctions while making it harder to “judge shop.” They are even pursuing the more extreme measure of impeaching judges.

    1. Fred, the appeal process ought to be more expeditious than it is; and that would help remedy the issues. And we need tighter rules about when these TRO’s and injunctions ought to be stayed while being appealed; and other limitations on these such as to the district judge’s geographic jurisdiction or to the parties involved.

      By the way, this is the price of Republican Senators reflexively voting to confirm socialist judges.
