GOP lawmakers take aim at anti-Trump rulings, nationwide injunctions
Republicans will make their case for reining in federal judges on Capitol Hill this week, amid an escalating clash between President Donald Trump and the courts that have blocked, at least temporarily, many of his key priorities.
Both the House and Senate will hold hearings on the federal judiciary, and House lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill to bar courts from issuing nationwide injunctions. The odds of the bill becoming law are long.

Trump charged into his second term issuing more executive orders 107 to date than any president in four decades. The push, and his administrations aggressive efforts on a variety of other fronts, has been met with an even larger wave of about 150 lawsuits.
Judges have put more than 40 holds on Trumps agenda, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from digital legal journal Just Security and the nonprofit Fix the Court. Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions have paused bids to fire thousands of probationary workers, block trillions in federal grants, loans and foreign aid, purge transgender troops from the military, and dismantle federal agencies. Five different judges have blocked Trumps move to end birthright citizenship while litigation on the issue continues.
