Law Professor Bluntly Debunks Hawley's Conspiracy About Why Number Of Trump Injunctions Is So High

After GOP Senator Josh Hawley cried foul over the number of court injunctions against President Trump compared to other recent Presidents, University of Pennsylvania law professor Kate Shaw gave a "very plausible explanation."

On Tuesday, Kate Shaw, law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, testified before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the role of the federal court system.

The Republican majority focused primarily on federal judges issuing nationwide injunctions that block the unconstitutional executive orders of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and the Trump administration's illegal or unconstitutional actions.

Asked about the role of the Judicial branch, Shaw stated:

"I think if the Constitution is committed to a single principle, it is limits on power. I worry that we are on a path toward few, if any, meaningful limits on the President."

But Missouri MAGA Republican Senator Josh Hawley pushed back, stating Trump's power should be unlimited. Hawley sang a very different tune when Democratic President Joe Biden was in office.

Hawley claimed the courts were biased against Trump and Republicans. He shared an Axios graphic showing 64 injunctions against Trump in his first term, far more than Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

But Hawley conveniently ignored the number of injunctions issued against Republican Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which are comparable to the Democrats and far fewer than Trump.

Pointing to his visual reference, Hawley asked:

"You don’t think it’s a little bit anomalous?"

Professor Shaw had a more plausible explanation than bias though, saying:

"A very plausible explanation, Senator, you have to consider is that he is engaged in much more lawless activity than other Presidents, right? You must concede that is a possibility."

People agreed with Shaw's assessment and expressed their thoughts about Hawley.

Shaw later stated:

"I think a system in which there are no constraints on the President is a very dangerous system."

If Hawley is going to continue running away from the truth, he probably shouldn't do it in front of an expert who can easily catch him.

But given Hawley's history of running away, he's unlikely to learn from his missteps.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
