Lawsuits were already lined up to be filed before the first Trump EO was signed. And so it will go with many. It would be interesting to have the statistics on the percentage of EO’s in the past say dozen administrations that were challenged in court, and of those, how many survived past the first injunction and final court ruling. Of course some EO’s aren’t worth the trouble challenging but we already see some big battles ahead of us. More confusion and paralysis and waste of valuable resources.
I'm glad the courts are taking a look. Congress is delegating too much power to the White House; we need three equal branches of government like the founders intended. I'll see if I can find any stats on how previous executive orders fared in court.
