One Judge Is About to Go Toe-to-Toe With Trump Over His Executive Order Spree

There are so many moving parts to this rampage, yet lawsuits, by their nature, can focus on only one piece of it.
The article from Slate discusses a significant legal battle over the use of executive orders by former President Donald Trump, focusing on a case involving the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The order, known as the "Mexico City Policy" or "Global Gag Rule," was expanded by Trump to apply globally, affecting numerous NGOs. Judge Moss's decision highlighted that the policy was enacted without following the necessary administrative procedures, such as providing public notice and allowing for comments, which are required under the Administrative Procedure Act. This ruling could set a precedent for how future executive orders are challenged in court, emphasizing the need for adherence to legal protocols in policy implementation. The case underscores the ongoing tension between executive power and judicial oversight, particularly in politically charged areas like reproductive rights.
