Federal District Judges Have Blocked Trump Actions 30 Times, a Record Rate

Federal district judges who preside over a portion of a single state have been able to block President Donald Trump’s actions 30 times through nationwide injunctions—far more than any other administration in history, according to the Justice Department.

The trend has prompted the Trump administration’s Justice Department to seek an end to nationwide injunctions, following a similar argument made by the Obama administration.

“The core problem, in other words, is not so much the geographic scope of the injunction, but its reach far beyond the confines of the case or controversy before the court,” Beth Williams, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy, said Monday at a forum at The Heritage Foundation.

From the article:

"the average annual number of nationwide injunctions against the administrations of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush was 1.5. That increased to 2.5 under Barack Obama.

In Trump’s first year in office, however, judges issued 20 nationwide injunctions against administration policy."

Occams Razor - The President is operating out of what he is legally allowed to, hence the number of injunctions.

It's pretty simple folks, it not some nutty conspiracy.

10:04 thank you for some logic. For those who think Occams Razor is a conspiratorial liberal leaning garage metal band, it means that the simplest explanation is better.
