WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a divided America, no fight appears more important than the current constitutional clash playing out between the Trump administration and federal judges. Democrats see a White House determined to seize additional executive power and therefore see national injunctions as a key safeguard.

The White House maintains that President Trump does have the authority. When a district judge tried to stop sanctioned flights deporting illegal immigrants, Vice President JD Vance posted on social media that "judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power."

The groups against President Trump and his agenda are employing "forum shopping," essentially looking for a venue in front of a judge with a liberal track record likely to rule in their favor. And it's working.

"We're witnessing what amounts to a kind of a judicial revolt on the part of district judges who have been appointed by Obama and Biden in particular," says former law clerk Robert Charles, who served in both the Reagan and Bush administrations. "Obama, Biden, and some of these Carter judges are actually inserting things into the law, asserting authorities for the inferior courts below the Supreme Court that they simply don't have under the Constitution."
