Ted Cruz Criticizes Judicial Overreach and Nationwide Injunctions Against Trump Administration

Published | Video Starts at 04:56

Since President Trump returned to office in January, there have been over 40 universal injunctions issued against the federal government. That's in four months. 35 of those 40 came from the same five judicial districts. Let's put this into context. In the first 150 years of the republic, zero nationwide injunctions were issued. Zero. That's for 150 years. In the entirety of the 20th century, 27 nationwide injunctions were issued. That's over 100 years under Presidents Bush, Obama and Biden combined, 32 nationwide injunctions.
