Thanks for listening to the Town Hall Review with Hugh Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices on the stories and issues that matter.

Here's another piece I'll trust you enjoy.

Joining us now is Missouri's own Josh Hawley, Senator, Holly.

Senator, welcome to the program.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me.

Absolutely.

So, Senator, you have a great background in the legal world, Attorney General of

Missouri. What is your comment on this now pattern of wide-ranging nationwide injunctions,

64 of them that have been issued against the Trump administration? Senator, your thoughts?

Yeah, I think it's an abuse of the Article 3 power

to be honest with you, Charlie. I just don't think that these district courts, and that's what

we're talking about here. Let's just be clear so everybody listening understands. These are district

courts, which are basically local federal courts who are trying to say, okay, I'm not just going to

issue an order that says what the executive branch can or cannot do inside my district.

I'm going to issue an order that binds the executive branch for the entire nation.

And my view is, absent some really extraordinary circumstances, that just not a power I think

district courts have.

And we're seeing it on, as you said, on a mass scale, a mass scale.

And I think what's going to happen here is what needs to happen is one or two things.

Either the Supreme Court needs to intervene and make clear there's only one court that can issue rules for the whole country.

That's the Supreme Court.
