Attorney General William Barr has taken on a new fight: that of lone judges sitting on district court benches who want to control the national policy set by the president and his administration. For years and decades, Democrats have been using the courts as a weapon against Congress and the President, whenever decisions are not to their liking.
Decades ago, in 1994, they stopped Proposition 187, to prevent illegal aliens from getting welfare in California (despite the will of people having voted for that- 59%). Most recently, they came up with a district judge in Washington state to overrule Trump on the Muslim immigration/travel ban. After Trump revised the plan, 2 Democrat picked judges (Hawaii & Maryland) knocked down Trump's proposal on that (later upheld on appeal by the Supreme Court)..
It's pretty amazing that no Attorney General has gone after this ludicrous injunction MO, putting one person (judge) over the will of millions of voters, and allowing unscrupulous Democrat lawyers in the ACLU, MALDEF, et al to simlpy find a sympathetic judge and then throw him at the law that don't like, like a hand grenade.
The Washington Examiner reported >> "The 'best example' of 'harm' caused by these national injunctions, Barr said, relates to the legal fight over Trump trying to scrap the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which offers protections for individuals brought to the U.S. illegally as children, instituted under former President Barack Obama."
