In a joint Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took Kate Shaw, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School,to taskover her double standard for nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump Administration versus those against the Biden Administration. Senator Hawley repeatedly called out Shaw for lacking a “principle” to guide her legal opinion regarding when nationwide injunctions constitute the appropriate remedy for a legal dispute.
Libs thought nationwide injunctions were a "travesty for principles of democracy" – when Joe Biden was in officeBut now they LOVE them.What changed? TRUMP. Once again: the rule of law should be blind. Not blinded by rage.pic.twitter.com/9PEJmyhzF0
The hearing was jointly hosted by the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights.
Earlier this year, Senator Hawleyintroduced legislationto end liberal judges’ serial abuse of power by banning nationwide injunctions.
