WTH: Are Nationwide Injunctions the New Lawfare Against Trump? John Yoo Explains

President Trump’s executive actions are being blocked left,
right, and center by federal courts issuing nationwide
injunctions – or orders for the government to halt a given policy
that judges deem unlawful. However, the constitutionality of
these national injunctions is up for debate. Should the Supreme
Court decide that judicial policy pronouncements are indeed
unconstitutional, what will that mean for Executive power? Could
it mean that Congress will need to resume doing the work it has
shirked for years? And what will it mean for the Trump agenda?


John Yoo is the Emanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University
of California at Berkeley, a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute, a Senior Research Fellow at the
Civitas Institute, and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover
Institution and Stanford University. Yoo was a law clerk for
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the general council of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, and the former head of the Office of
Legal Counsel in the Justice Department. His most recent book is
The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court (Regnery,
2023) with Robert Delahunty.
