Many supporters of President Donald Trump seem to be attacking the judiciary when judges or appellate courts rule against the administration’s position. This is a potentially consequential mistake, for both the short- and long-term future of conservative-populist politics.
It’s understandable why MAGA activists are upset at many courts’ seeming eagerness to thwart the administration’s agenda. Many district judges are using their power to thwart legitimate executive objectives. Indeed, the unprecedented use of nationally binding injunctions by a single judge threatens to upend the separation of powers.
