Courts Are the Answer to Chaos

Trump is purposefully creating mayhem on a daily basis with a barrage of executive orders: directives halting federal grants and loans, firing inspectors general, stopping foreign aid and hobbling the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and National Labor Relations Board. He has sent emails to millions of federal employees offering resignations, challenged birthright citizenship, threatened to take back the Panama Canal and impose huge tariffs on neighboring nations and so much more.

The President is practicing his own brutal brand of chaos, creating fear and uncertainty by design. Many of his actions are deemed illegal by experts. Already, a judge has blocked Trump’s federal funding freeze, since the Constitution clearly bestows the power of the purse on Congress. Also on hold are Trump’s efforts to revoke birthright citizenship, with the federal judge who blocked the order calling it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
