The left tried to derail Donald Trump’s first term with Russiagate and two impeachment trials. They tried to derail his 2024 run for office with not one but four criminal indictments at the state and federal level. And while the lawfare failed to stop Trump from returning to the Oval Office, it appears Democrats are once again leveraging the judicial system in an attempt to stymie the president’s agenda.
In what is being deemed Lawfare 2.0, activist judges at the District Court level are delaying the implementation of many of Trump’s executive orders and policies. The administration may ultimately prove to have the legal ground to, say, ban transgender people from serving in the military or deport migrants suspected of being in gangs (to name a few), but it looks like they will be forced to litigate those actions all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
There has been plenty of debate on the right and left regarding the lawfare scheme and Megyn has been breaking down and debating the merits of the cases with experts and pundits from both sides.
