"In a speech Tuesday night, Barr took aim at the broad judicial power, arguing that federal judges who have issued the so-called nationwide injunctions are hampering Trump's efforts on immigration, health care and other issues with "no clear end in sight."
It is the latest example of Barr moving to embrace Trump's political talking points.
The attorney general is traditionally expected to carry out the president's agenda as a member of the Cabinet while trying to avoid political bias. Democrats have cast Barr as an attorney general who acts more like Trump's personal lawyer instead of the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
At a re-election rally earlier this month, Trump railed against "activist judges who issue nationwide injunctions based on their personal beliefs," which he said "undermine democracy and threaten the rule of law."
Administration officials have often complained about the proliferation of nationwide injunctions since Trump became president. Vice President Mike Pence said a few weeks ago that the administration intends to challenge the right of federal district courts to issue such rulings.
"The legal community and the broader public should be more concerned, particularly about this trend of nationwide injunctions," Barr said.
Barr highlighted the legal fights that have happened in federal courts across the country over Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that shields young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children but don't have legal status to protect them from deportation."
Maybe Trump should try following the law, and the Constitution for a change. Then too, the Republicans proved long ago that neither matters to them.
