In February 2025, federal judges appointed by five different presidents—including Trump himself—ruled against 39 separate administration actions. What does this judicial unanimity reveal?

Question

Accepted Answer

When judges appointed by presidents from both parties—including Trump's own appointees—unanimously rule against his actions, the constitutional violations are so clear they transcend political considerations. Federal judges appointed by Reagan, Clinton, Obama, and Trump all found the same actions unconstitutional—like a jury where even the defendant's mother votes guilty. This occurred with birthright citizenship elimination, targeting political opponents, and freezing congressional appropriations. Constitutional violations severe enough to unite judges across ideological spectrums are fundamental attacks on legal order.
