Lawfare - Rogue Judges and National Injunctions with Professor James Todd

Please join us on Tuesday May 27th for

Rogue Judges and National Injunctions – an analysis from Professor James Todd, Chairman of the Politics Department at Palm Beach Atlantic University

Professor James Todd

Since taking office, President Trump has put into action a wide range of executive actions that implement the ambitious agenda for which he was elected. With Congressional Democrats mostly feckless in their opposition, and the Republicans much more supportive than in the first term, the left has turned to their like-minded judges on the federal bench to throw roadblocks in front of just about every initiative. With plaintiffs such as the ACLU, blue state attorney generals, and selected illegal immigrants with deportation cases, the “judge shopped” federal district jurists (many in Washington DC) have stretched the limits of their power to block the administration’s actions country-wide. 26 out of 30 of the judges (87%) in these cases were chosen by Democrat Presidents and have clearly shown their bias.

What is the precedent for all this and what are the tools available to fight it? For some thoughts on this and the role that Congress and the Supreme Court will play in its evolution, join us as Professor Todd unpacks this historical assault on the separation of powers.
