In this episode of Unwritten Law, NCLA President Mark Chenoweth sits down with Margot Cleveland, Of Counsel at NCLA and Senior Legal Correspondent for The Federalist, to unpack the wave of injunctions stemming from legal challenges to President Trump’s executive orders. Why are federal judges suddenly handing out preliminary injunctions in cases where similar claims struggled to gain traction during prior administrations? From questionable reinstatement orders to shifting standing rules, Mark and Margot explore how courts are approaching separation-of-powers issues—and why these developments matter for constitutional governance.
