White House Claims Found 'Real Constitutional Crisis' as Trump Targets Courts

The Trump administration is facing accusations of provoking a constitutional crisis by attempting to undermine the judiciary and expand executive power. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that judges blocking Trump's agenda are acting as 'judicial activists' and that the real crisis lies within the judicial branch. Legal experts and organizations like the American Bar Association have raised alarms over Trump's rhetoric and actions, which they believe threaten judicial review and the separation of powers. Some Republican lawmakers are pushing for legislation to limit lower court judges' ability to block presidential actions, while others, including Rep. Eli Crane, have suggested impeachment for judges who rule against the administration. Amidst this turmoil, the administration has been accused of defying court orders, notably regarding federal funding, leading to further claims of a constitutional crisis. Critics argue that such aggressive targeting of the courts is unprecedented in modern political history.
