Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday said he has noticed a troubling trend of nationwide injunctions issued by lower courts that have taken their toll on President Trump’s agenda and threaten the political process for future administrations.

Barr, who has been accused by Democrats of protecting Trump after the release of the Mueller report, told the American Law Institute that there is a new trend of judicial "willingness" to review executive action, which injects courts into the political process...

...Vice President Mike Pence recently said the administration will ask the Supreme Court to bar them....

...Barr said nationwide injunctions violate the separation of powers. He said that since Trump took office, there have been 37 nationwide injunctions — more than one a month...

The more Barr talks the more I like Barr. I just hope he walks the walk. I think he will.

It is ironic and aggravating that Trump has had this number of nationwide injunctions especially when compared to other presidents. Meanwhile it always seems when we have an issue we want pursued like any 2A issue or pro life matter, a district judge stays his decision while on appeal. It seems the entire court system is another aspect of the deep state one that most all are afraid to touch. Frankly since the court system is apparently just an extension of the demo party, it needs being redone.

AG Barr, it’s called the “Resistance”.

Calling them out in a very direct manner. I like it.

And yes, this could easily come back to bite a Democrat POTUS in the future. Separation of Powers is Separation of Powers.

These injunctions definitely violate the separation of powers and the President needs to ignore them until the Supreme Court makes a final determination.

If the Republicans take back the house in 20 the first thing they should do is immediately start Impeachment hearings against these renegade Judges for overstepping their Constitutional Duty and Authority.

Throw a couple off the bench the rest of the wretched hive of Tyrants will fall in line. If not rise and repeat. Then Trump can file the vacancies with some Conservative Judges.
