Lawmakers Seek Limits on Judges Blocking Trump's Orders

President Trump is facing significant legal challenges, which he and his supporters characterize as a third coup attempt against his presidency. This follows earlier controversies, including the Russian collusion investigation and the government's response to COVID-19, both of which Trump claims undermined his administration. The current conflict centers around nationwide injunctions issued by judges against Trump's executive orders, which he argues violate the separation of powers. Republican lawmakers are actively pursuing legislation to limit the power of these judges, with proposals like the Restraining Judicial Activists Act aiming to create a three-judge panel to review such rulings. Critics of Trump argue that his recent executive orders targeting law firms that have represented his opponents threaten the foundations of free legal representation. Meanwhile, Trump has called for the impeachment of judges he perceives as obstructing his administration's efforts.
