The Nature of Nationwide Injunctions
- Nationwide injunctions order the government to halt actions nationwide, even on parties not involved in the lawsuit.
- This bypasses normal legal safeguards, leading to potential overreach by courts.
Judicial Overreach Against Trump Policies
- There have been significantly more nationwide injunctions against Trump policies early in his term than during Biden's entire term.
- Judges are unusually aggressive in using these injunctions, encroaching on executive authority.

- This judicial behavior challenges core Article II authority in the government.
