Cruz explains it to Sonia
"“If you look to the facts of what’s happening with nationwide injunctions, I think it will explain why the Department of Justice has had to ask the Supreme Court to intervene over and over again,” Cruz said.
Cruz noted that one-third of all nationwide injunctions have come from California courts, and that two-thirds of the states have not produced any.
“So you have a handful of courts that are driving this," he said.
Cruz also pointed to the disparity between the number of nationwide injunctions granted against the Trump administration compared with previous administrations.
“In the eight years of the George W. Bush administration, district courts issued a total of 12 universal injunctions against the Bush administration,” he said. "In the eight years of the Obama administration, district courts issued 19 universal injunctions against the Obama administration. In just three years of the Trump administration, we have already had 55 national universal injunctions issued against the federal government."
Cruz defended the Justice Department, stating that the administration is fighting back against activist judges who are trying to interfere with politics."
