Summary
Former President Donald Trump is facing unprecedented judicial pushback against his policies, raising questions about the balance of power in the U.S. government. Numerous federal judges, many appointed by Democrats, have issued rulings that challenge executive authority, claiming to protect the rule of law. In turn, Trump’s administration has begun to resist these orders, prompting discussions about potential constitutional crises. Experts argue that the judiciary's attempts to impose limits on the executive branch may threaten the fundamental structure of governance established by the Constitution. The legal profession is urged to protect the rule of law amid these tensions.
