Federal Courts

ongressional Republicans are frustrated with the increasing number of nationwide injunctions issued by district court judges that have blocked President Donald Trump's policies. Senator Josh Hawley introduced legislation aimed at banning these broad injunctions.

According to a press release from Hawley, the Nationwide Injunction Abuse Prevent Act of 2025 would:

An appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump can fire two board members of independent agencies handling labor issues from their respective posts in the federal government.

A divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agreed to lift orders blocking the Trump administration from removing Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris and National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox.

A U.S. appeals court judge said Monday that Nazis received better treatment than the Venezuelan nationals who were deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration last weekend during a hearing over President Donald Trump's use of an 18th-century wartime authority to remove certain foreigners from U.S. soil.

Obscured by the absurd theatricality of this Donald Trump presidency is a dangerous erosion of the principle upon which the nation was founded: the rule of law.

Many in the media would have you believe that President Donald Trump has commandeered an obscure law to wrongly deport violent members of a terrorist gang known as Tren de Aragua (TdA). 

A federal judge has rejected the Associated Press' plea that President Trump immediately let its reporters resume covering major events at the White House, on Air Force One and elsewhere.

In denying the AP's request for a temporary restraining order, however, U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden ordered an expedited consideration of its lawsuit. The AP is seeking to overturn the ban altogether; the judge set a court hearing for March 20, at which he will consider the motion.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked former President Joe Biden’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which would have transferred student loan debt from borrowers to taxpayers.

CNBC reported that the decision by the appeals court came after “seven Republican-led states” filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education’s SAVE plan and “argued” that Biden had no “authority to establish” the SAVE plan and that he had been “trying to find a roundabout way to forgive student debt.”

The Trump administration has canned 20 “midnight” immigration judges the Biden administration tried to shoehorn onto the courts in its final days, The Washington Times has learned.

Thirteen judges hired in late December and early January were ousted Friday, a Justice Department source said.

Seven assistant chief immigration judges were also axed.

This week, the hysteria revolves around Trump’s clash with the courts.

So much is new and topsy-turvy in our national politics, but one thing has endured — the commitment of the Democrats and the media to whipping up insta-hysteria about something Donald Trump has said or done, or might say or do.

This has been a consistent thread in their reaction to Trump since 2015, and the near-unanimous insistence that we are in, or about to enter, “a constitutional crisis” over the last several days is the latest instance.

The new Trump administration may be heading in the direction of disobeying court orders that go against it. If they do so and get away with it, there are likely to be dire consequences for our constitutional system. An administration not bound by court orders is ultimately not bound by the Constitution and the laws, either.
