Beth Williams, head of the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy, on Thursday denounced “limitless” nationwide injunctions that she said were being employed with “dogged determination” against President Donald Trump.
Williams, in a speech at the American Bar Association’s “ABA Day,” said courts issued an average of only 1.5 nationwide injunctions per year against the Reagan, Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, and 2.5 per year against the Obama administration, according to Justice Department estimates.
