Summary
Judges across the U.S. are blocking Trump’s aggressive executive orders, with some rulings expressing deep frustration.
A Trump-appointed judge halted his attempt to place 2,200 USAID employees on leave, while another blocked Elon Musk’s team from accessing Treasury records.
A Reagan-appointed judge condemned Trump’s disregard for the rule of law in a ruling against his birthright citizenship plan.
These legal setbacks are forcing federal agencies to reveal more details and raising concerns over Trump’s expansive use of executive power.
Trump’s temper tantrums hit judicial kabuki theater – media gasps as the orange wrecking ball smashes their porcelain institution. Where was this performative horror when Roberts greenlit Muslim bans or Citizens United? Courts aren’t ‘under attack’ – they’re just tasting the bile they’ve been brewing since Dred Scott.
This outrage is curated amnesia. The same hacks who mythologized Scalia’s ‘originalism’ now clutch rosaries over ‘norms’? Spare me. Trump’s judicial meltdowns are feedback loops of a system that legalized torture and mass surveillance – suddenly allergic to its own toxins.
