Honig told a CNN panel that he doesn't think that this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue. President Joe Biden's administration made the same argument in the court that the Trump administration did, he noted.One cannot help but note this opinion was not handed down under Biden, by a Court that has never been shy about ruling on the issue neither party had briefed. And yet, when it comes to Trump and his arguments for a more unitary executive….
"What this is, though, is a seismic shift in power as between the presidency and the courts. It means that district courts — that's our federal trial-level courts — there's 600 or so district court judges around the country, can no longer, generally speaking, ban some sort of presidential action, block a presidential action for the whole country. However, the notion that this is the end ... I'm looking at Justice Jackson here in her dissent. 'This is our collective demise. The constitutional republic will be no more.' That's overstated."Even when that Presidential action involves a groundless constitutional interpretation that affects every person in the United States? But now affects only those persons not under the jurisdiction of the trial courts where the Presidential action was challenged? And again involves the Court buying, wholesale, the arguments of Trump for the power of the President?
The nation has survived more than 200 years without nationwide injunctions, he noted. They only began happening in the 2000s with George W. Bush's administration.Or about the time Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were implementing the most expansive reach of Presidential power in American history? And even then, Bush got an AUMF from Congress before he attacked Afghanistan or Iraq.
As opposed to Trump, who didn’t even brief the Gang of Eight, before bombing Iran. Trump has done nothing but expand the power of the executive branch, and the Roberts Court has aided and abetted him all the way.
Funny they never did that for Biden, isn’t it, Elie?

Jessica: To the idea that it is Democrats who only use this, it’s blatantly false. The reason we don’t have student debt forgiveness from President Biden is that Republicans got a nationwide injunction. People like AG Ken Paxton, there’s a judge in Texas he likes a lot that’s… pic.twitter.com/2XrJV1PtWC

there’s a judge in Texas he likes a lot that’s puts out injunctions for the entire nation so let’s not make this about partisan politics.That’s for the Roberts Court to do.
