As Trump steamrolls Washington, courts flex their power to slow him down – POLITICO

President Donald Trump s shock and awe assertion of executive power has hit a wall in the courtroom at least for now.

At least nine federal judges from Washington, D.C., to Washington state have halted aspects of Trump s early-term blitz, from his effort to rewrite the Constitution s birthright citizenship guarantee to his sweeping effort to freeze federal spending to his plans to break and remake the federal workforce.

That trend reached a crescendo Friday when U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols a Trump appointee blocked a plan by Trump and Elon Musk to put 2,200 USAID employees on leave, part of a rapid-fire effort to dismantle the foreign aid agency. Hours later, a federal judge in New York blocked Musk and his allies from accessing sensitive Treasury records, citing a risk of improper disclosure or hacking. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, an Obama appointee, was the most sweeping of its kind so far.
