Evidently tired of having the American people's will thwarted by meddlesome judges, the Trump administration is fighting back.
Donald Trump's opponents failed to stop him at the ballot box, so now they are attempting to neutralize his presidency in the courts.
U.S. district court judges have proven more than willing to help out in this regard, slapping the government with more nationwide injunctions in the first 100 days of Trump's second term than were entered throughout the whole of the 20th century.
As of Wednesday, the New York Times indicated that 199 or more of the court rulings against the president's executive actions so far this year have at least temporarily halted the Trump administration's initiatives.
While the U.S. Supreme Court has intervened in a number of cases to reaffirm the president's Article II powers and his exercise thereof, it's abundantly clear that the Trump administration is tiring of what White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has repeatedly called a "judicial coup."
The Department of Justice turned the tables on Wednesday, filing a lawsuit against the U.S. District Court of Maryland and all 16 of its judges — including its 10 authorized judges, all but one of whom were appointed by former Presidents Joe Biden or Barack Obama.
The lawsuit takes aim at an order handed down last month that automatically blocks the deportation of illegal aliens in the state whose detention is challenged by immigration attorneys.

It is time the administration started being proactive.
Good. Teach those bleeding hearts a very harsh lesson.

Oliver gave an analogy that fit what the Dems have been doing. It is like a mid level manager of IBM overturning decisions made by the company CEO.
