Gregg Jarrett and Jonathan Turley flay out-of-control nationwide injunctions against Trump

Two highly respected legal analysts have concluded that all those entry-level judges in the federal court system who have been ordering President Donald Trump what to do, or not, don’t have the authority to do that.

And they are undermining their own agenda with their biased comments.

The perspectives come from Gregg Jarrett, longtime legal analyst for Fox News, and Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University.

It was Jarrett who explained those “activist judges” actually have no constitutional authority to issue nationwide injunctions – a dispute that is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court right now.

Jarrett explained the judges, motivated by their own politics, have taken advantage of legal gray areas.

“There is absolutely nothing in the law that allows these district judges to order anything beyond their own physical district,” Jarrett said in an interview with Fox. “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.”

He said the judges are running their courtrooms on politics.

“In the age of Trump, judges are ignoring their duty, ignoring the law. They’re 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.” He said Congress could intervene if the agenda continues.

He noted those activists have heard 170 lawsuits in just five months of Trump’s time in office, and have insisted on 40 injunctions against Trump.

Turley, who often testifies before Congress as an expert on the Constitution, and has represented members in court fights, said the judges’ bias is undermining their statements.

“In some cases, these judges are undermining their decisions,” he said in an interview. “Go back to the National Guard decision with Judge Breyer. You know, in the hearing right before the ‘No Kings’ protest, he referred to Trump as behaving like King George [III], and he said that and he ended up in the opinion, almost echoing some political talking points, saying that the president is creating essentially disorder by trying to bring order through the Guardsmen.”

Turley said, “All that stuff tends to undermine the credibility of the court.”
