White House officials bristle as the courts throttle parts of Trump's agenda
One White House official called legal roadblocks an "occupational hazard," while a number of legal experts worry the country may be headed for a constitutional crisis.
Summary
Trump's agenda faces major legal setbacks as federal judges block key initiatives, causing White House frustration.
Court rulings have halted efforts to downsize government, freeze spending, and access Treasury payment systems. Some Trump allies, including JD Vance, question judicial authority, raising fears of defying court orders.
Critics warn this could trigger a constitutional crisis. The American Bar Association condemned the administration’s disregard for legal constraints, noting over a dozen lawsuits filed in recent weeks.
Even Trump ally Steve Bannon advises compliance while pursuing Supreme Court appeals.
They haven't halted efforts. They've ignored the courts already. The court has asked AGAIN. lol
Everyone still in denial.
And that's what scares me. They asked again. Their literal response to a President defying court orders is to ask "Pretty please".
If that's all they've got, then the judicial branch of government isn't a co-equal branch after all. It's merely an advisory panel.
Wow, if Steve Bannon is being the reasonable adult in the magade, that says something about how out there the maga-in-chief is...
He doesn't give a shit either way. This is all part of the plans he helped lay out. He's just not in Trump's circle this time around so now he's against it.
Steve Bannon can rot in hell.
Steve Bannon can rot in hell.
He might start rotting before that: he dresses and looks like a tramp who doesn't shower too often...
