Trump Administration Ramps Up Rhetoric Targeting The Courts Amid Mounting Legal Setbacks

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The new populist president railed against the judiciary as they blocked his aggressive moves to restructure his country’s government and economy. Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, posted last week on X: “Under the precedents now being established by radical rogue judges, a district court in Hawaii could enjoin troop movements in Iraq. Or to nullify the results of a national election.” “We either have democracy,” said Miller, who once ran a legal group that sued to get judges to block former President Joe Biden’s initiatives, “or not.” Trump’s supporters in Congress have raised the specter of impeaching judges who have ruled against the administration. President Donald Trump arrives on Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport, Friday, March 14, 2025, in West Palm Beach, Fla. via Associated Press ‘Threats against constitutional government’ Despite the rhetoric, the Trump administration has so far not openly defied a court order, and the dozens of cases filed against its actions have followed a regular legal course. It’s very clear,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Friday, adding that judges have issued 16 orders blocking Trump initiatives compared to 14 against Biden during the previous four years.
