Undoing Trump’s Actions Is Hard

“President Trump has suffered a string of court losses in recent days, as federal judges ruled that his administration broke the law on a number of matters, including firing officials, shutting down organizations and deporting migrants,” the New York Times reports.

“But if the decisions all point in the same direction — Mr. Trump and his team have acted lawlessly in egregious ways, judges emphatically said — the real-world consequences may vary.”

“That is because even assuming all those rulings were to be upheld on appeal, some of Mr. Trump’s actions would be easier to undo than others. And the slow pace of litigation means the judiciary is often many steps behind and in some cases, unable to catch up.”
