“The ability of a single federal judge to block government action nationwide — let alone a president’s exercise of foreign policy — is not well established. It was a rare occurrence before Trump’s first term. Chief Justice John Roberts has frequently expressed concern with the ‘institutional legitimacy’ of the federal judiciary. At times that’s seemed limited to gaining the approval of the editorial pages of the Washington Post and the New York Times. But he may need to consider what the rest of America thinks, lest he wind up on the 20% side of an 80/20 issue — an awkward place to be when you’re concerned about legitimacy.” (03/17/25)
