Hawley Takes Liberal Professor to Task for Flip-Flopping on Injunctions Stance

Wednesday, June 04, 2025

In a joint Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took Kate Shaw, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, to task over her double standard for nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump Administration versus those against the Biden Administration. Senator Hawley repeatedly called out Shaw for lacking a "principle" to guide her legal opinion regarding when nationwide injunctions constitute the appropriate remedy for a legal dispute.

Libs thought nationwide injunctions were a "travesty for principles of democracy" - when Joe Biden was in office

But now they LOVE them.

The hearing was jointly hosted by the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights.

Earlier this year, Senator Hawley introduced legislation to end liberal judges' serial abuse of power by banning nationwide injunctions.
