Former President Donald Trump is employing innovative legal tactics in an effort to sustain his controversial policies, despite numerous court rulings blocking these measures nationwide. Several policies, including immigration restrictions, bans on transgender individuals in the military, and cuts to health agency funding, have faced judicial injunctions that often halt them through a single judge’s nationwide pause.
To circumvent these blocks, Trump’s legal team is breaking down cases into smaller components, aiming to delay rulings and keep these policies operational for longer periods. Legal experts describe this method as a “shell game” or “throwing spaghetti against the wall” — essentially testing various legal arguments to see which withstand judicial scrutiny.
The Supreme Court has recently considered whether nationwide injunctions should continue or if class-action lawsuits would be more appropriate. This debate is significant for several reasons:
- Class-action lawsuits can limit the scope of court rulings but require time to be certified, thereby potentially allowing contested policies to remain effective during certification delays.
- The Court has ruled that certain immigration cases must be filed individually, not collectively, which slows challenges against policies such as birthright citizenship and immigration enforcement.
These legal proceedings are not only impacting immigration and citizenship regulations but are also central to the Trump administration’s efforts to weaken nationwide injunctions. The eventual outcome could fundamentally alter how presidential policies are challenged and reviewed in the judicial system.
