Judicial blocks on Trump spark battle over nationwide injunctions

SUMMARY
Republicans are charging into battle against what they see as a judiciary run amok, blocking President Trump’s agenda with nationwide injunctions. Congressional GOP heavyweights, led by Rep. Darrell Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley, are pushing two bills to slap down these sweeping court orders, aiming to shrink district judges’ power back to size. Issa’s legislation and Grassley’s Senate plan would limit relief to just the folks suing—not the whole country—arguing it’s time to restore order and stop rogue judges from playing dictator. They’re fired up, saying courts have gone from interpreting law to kneecapping Trump’s presidency, especially after blocks on moves like birthright citizenship changes and mass firings of federal workers. Republicans claim it’s a fix for judicial overreach, not a power grab, with Issa calling out judges for joining the “resistance.” The GOP’s gearing up for a showdown: Issa’s bill nearly hit the House floor, and Grassley’s got a hearing in the books.
