Federal judges across the U.S. have consistently issued rulings responding to President Trump's executive orders and his efforts to expand presidential authority. This judicial pushback spans various issues including immigration, foreign aid, and executive appointment powers. Although some decisions favor the president, collectively they serve to challenge his attempts to consolidate control over the government. Many rulings have been appealed, and the chaotic legal environment indicates an ongoing struggle between the executive branch and the judiciary, reflecting broader concerns about governmental authority in America.
In our constitutional order, the president is tasked to be a conscientious custodian of the law... to take care of effectuating his enumerated duties, including the laws enacted by Congress.
Taken as a whole, rulings by federal judges represent an effort to push back at Mr. Trump's serial attempts to increase his authority and the executive branch's dominion over the government.
