A lower court judge blocks a part of President Donald Trump’s agenda, an appellate panel refuses to put the order on hold while the case continues, and the Justice Department turns to the Supreme Court.

The conservative-majority high court granted the Trump Administration’s request to put a hold on a district-court injunction.

Numerous universities, media companies, corporations, law firms and even some of the states have bent to Trump’s will. Only the judiciary has managed, at least in part, to serve as a restraint on this out-of-control presidency.
