In response to President Trump's extensive executive orders, over 40 lawsuits have recently been initiated by state attorneys general, unions, and nonprofits seeking to limit his authority. The judiciary appears to be the most viable check on Trump's power, especially with Congress mostly compliant. Although judicial processes are inherently slow, temporary court orders have provided some relief, such as halting layoffs at the foreign aid agency. However, ongoing legal challenges, particularly related to immigration, suggest that opposition may struggle to keep pace with the administration's rapid legal maneuvers.
More than 40 lawsuits have been filed in recent days by state attorneys general, unions and nonprofits seeking to erect a barrier against President Trump's blitzkrieg of executive orders.
With a compliant Congress, and little significant resistance in either the streets or within the president's own party, the judicial branch of the government may be the only check on his power.
Any legal opposition may struggle to keep up with Trump's fire hose of legal disruption.
Judicial orders in nine federal court cases will, for a time, partly bind the administration's hands.
