Trump vs. the courts: A constitutional crisis approaches

Source: The Hill
by James D Zirin

“The Trump presidency is mired in litigation, facing some 250 lawsuits over its hailstorm of executive orders, substantially more orders than had been filed at this point during his first term. The unprecedented flood of legal action has for the moment scotched some of Trump’s signature priorities, but courts have cleared others to move forward while litigation continues. … Trump has been notoriously cavalier when it comes to compliance with court orders seeking to reverse his administration’s actions. We hear a lot about the potential for a constitutional crisis these days, but no one can tell us exactly what that is. Perhaps the definition channels Justice Potter Stewart’s famous test for hard-core pornography: ‘I know it when I see it.'” (06/05/25)
