The Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse has a particularly helpful compilation displaying the present progress in all circumstances difficult Trump Administration insurance policies filed so far. The web site is here. [There is also a separate site for cases involving, but not challenging, Trump policies.] [I’m told that students at the University of Michigan Law School are responsible for keeping these sites up to date – kudos to them]
By my depend, there are 28 separate circumstances** wherein a TRO or a Preliminary Injunction has been issued in opposition to the federal government’s implementation of its insurance policies.
**Six circumstances contain challenges to Trump’s patently (and moderately embarrassingly) unconstitutional Govt Order relating to birthright citizenship, six contain challenges to employment actions, two contain DOGE entry to authorities data, 4 contain Trump Administration insurance policies relating to transgender rights, one includes immigration coverage, eight problem numerous elements of the Spending Freeze(s), and one includes Trump Administration insurance policies dismantling DEI initiatives.
Wow! After all, everyone knows that TROs and PIs are not adjudications on the deserves of any case; they do not contain a willpower the Administration’s actions have been illegal.
However nonetheless . . . TROs and PIs do require judges to seek out that there’s a “substantial probability” that the problem will succeed, on the deserves – i.e., that the challenger will be capable to present that the federal government has behaved unlawfully. Twenty-eight judges have completed so – 28! Certainly, it is a file – 28 restraining orders in 5 weeks!
I do know, I do know – “That is why we elected him!! Break every part down! Smash every part!! Eliminate all that silly ‘rule of legislation’ nonsense!! No man who saves his nation is violating the legislation!!”
Possibly so. However I type of appreciated that rule of legislation nonsense, the place Presidents have been purported to observe the legislation, like everybody else. It served us fairly nicely, over the past 250 years. Such a disgrace to see it go. I feel we’ll miss it when it is gone.
