Fox News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett Provides One Long-Established Reason Judges Lack Legal Authority To Block Trump Nationwide
By Mariane Angela (DCNF) - All News Pipeline
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday that activist judges have no constitutional authority to impose nationwide injunctions to block President Donald Trumps agenda.
The Supreme Court will soon issue a majorrulingthat could clarify how far lower court judges can go to block Trumps policies nationwide. During an appearance on The Evening Edit, Jarrett said politically motivated judges have exploited legal gray areas to impose sweeping blocks against Trumps policies, despite lacking the constitutional power to do so.
There is absolutely nothing in the law that allows these district judges to order anything beyond their own physical district, Jarrett told Fox Business host Elizabeth MacDonald. Their jurisdiction is narrowly defined under the Constitution to cases and controversies before them, which means they may not issue orders nationwide that impact millions of people who never set foot inside their courtroom.
Jarrett blamed what he said was political bias for a breakdown in judicial discipline.
In the age of Trump, judges are ignoring their duty, ignoring the law. Theyre driven by political bias, and the result is unelected judges who think they have unfettered veto power over the president, and the truth is they do not, Jarrett said.
When asked whether Congress could intervene if the Supreme Court fails to rein in the abuse, Jarrett didnt hesitate.(RELATED: 700 District Judges Pretending Theyre President: Gingrich Says Rogue Judges Make It Impossible For US To Survive)
Oh, absolutely, and I think thats really necessary. The House already passed a bill restricting nationwide injunctions. Its up to the Senate now to approve it, pass it on to the president for signature, Jarrett said.
Jarrett said Congress has every right to act.
Congress created the federal court system, Liz, and it has the power to constrain it. Trumps been in office less than five months already, [with] 170 lawsuits filed against him, 40 injunctions issued to stop him from implementing his agenda, Jarrett said. Voters put him into office for a reason, and judges need to respect that.
Federaljudgesblocked Trumps second-term agenda with 25 sweeping injunctions in just his first 100 days, a Mayreportfrom the Congressional Research Service said. By contrast, former President Joe Biden saw only four such rulings early in his term, and Trumps first term faced six.
