Vice President Mike Pence announced that the administration will look for opportunities to challenge nationwide injunctions before the Supreme Court.
Such orders have obstructed the Trump administration’s agenda in a number of areas.
Though such injunctions have angered Trump loyalists, conservative litigators employed them against former President Barack Obama.
The Trump administration is searching for an appropriate case in which to ask the Supreme Court to end nationwide injunctions, Vice President Mike Pence announced Wednesday in Washington at a Federalist Society conference.
Nationwide injunctions, in which federal trial judges bar the federal government from enforcing a law or carrying out a policy across the entire country, have beset President Donald Trump since he took office. District courts have blocked administration policy priorities on immigration, national security and health care.
“The Supreme Court of the United States must clarify that district judges can decide no more than the cases before them — and it’s imperative that we restore the historic tradition that district judges do not set policy for the whole nation,” Pence told the conservative lawyers group.
“In the days ahead, our administration will seek opportunities to put this question before the Supreme Court — to ensure that decisions affecting every American are made either by those elected to represent the American people or by the highest court in the land,” Pence added.

Yes but the big difference is the ban is enforced and the Trump agenda is implemented. It would have been up to the left to
get the issue to the supreme court and win. That takes a lot of time and its likely they would not have won and more likely would never have attempted it. Republicans and the Trump White House would do themselves great success if they would stop “waiting”. Delay is losing. Political power always diminishes with time. Republicans like to wait until the report comes out, wait after the midterms, wait til
we have the court, wait for this wait for that. Do the democrats ever wait when they get power? NO! Every second you wait allows your opposition to fortify their position. It’s a losing strategy, STOP WAITING!
Agreed. How did this crap get started? They just asserted a power i doubt they have and nobody questioned or stopped them.
