Trump Administration's Legal Battles with Judiciary

President Trump's administration is facing significant legal challenges from federal judges, which the White House describes as a 'constitutional crisis' triggered by 'judicial activists' blocking executive orders. Measures like the federal employee buyout program, efforts to cut government waste, and restricting agency powers have faced injunctions, with judges such as Paul Engelmayer halting these initiatives due to perceived overreach. The Department of Justice plans to challenge the 1935 Supreme Court ruling, Humphrey's Executor, to allow greater executive control over federal agencies, arguing current protections are unconstitutional. Meanwhile, critics argue Trump's actions encroach on congressional powers, risking a breakdown in checks and balances. The administration, with support from figures like Elon Musk, is pushing back against these judicial interventions, seeking to overturn precedents they claim hinder government efficiency. These tensions highlight the ongoing power struggle between the executive branch and the judiciary.
