The Dems didn’t challenge national injunctions because even though it pissed them off, they weren’t comfortable with what the Republicans could do with the same power. Republicans decided to finally define its legal limits, and that’s fine, truly (there are fair arguments against nationwide injunctions, I’m iffy on them myself), so long as they remember that a liberal or leftist or Dem or whatever exists in the future… they’ll have the same power.
Correct. And the clarification results in the law being applied differently in future. If Republicans are okay with all Presidents having that power, even Democrats, so be it.
I hear this, but doesn't the big bill of death have a bond posting requirement before going to court against the govt? Won't that be a catch 22?
That’s the problem with creating legal “weapons”. Always gotta worry how the other side is gonna put it to work for themselves.
So very true… and unfortunately, so many of our government officials just want to keep their jobs.
