Judicial Coup: Federal Judges Undermining Trump’s Orders

Judicial Coup? Federal Judges Undermining Trump’s Orders

A congressional hearing has raised alarms over federal judges issuing universal injunctions against President Trump’s executive orders, calling it a potential judicial coup d'état. In just six weeks, 15 district judges have effectively seized control over key executive functions, violating over 200 years of constitutional precedent.

Historical precedent exists—President Thomas Jefferson and Congress, facing a similar crisis, abolished entire courts through the Judiciary Act of 1802. Could today’s executive and legislative branches take similar action to rein in the judiciary?
