Biden legal defeats rapidly piling up across the nation on broad array of policy fronts

Since President Biden took office in January, federal courts across the country have ruled against his administration time and again, finding many of his policies violate the Constitution.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Biden administration's federal moratorium on residential evictions.

"Our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends." The high court's decision came two days after it denied Biden's legal bid to rescind the Remain in Mexico Policy, officially called the Migrant Protection Protocols - another major loss in the courts.

Less than a week after Biden assumed office, a federal court in Texas temporarily blocked the Biden administration's 100-day moratorium on deportations of some illegal immigrants.

In its opinion, the court derided the administration for omitting "a rational explanation grounded in the facts reviewed and the factors considered." This omission, the court explained, made the Department of Homeland Security's "Determination to institute a 100-day pause on deportations an arbitrary and capricious choice." Biden's losses in the courts also extend to farming.

The court found "The only consideration in determining whether a farmer or rancher's loans should be completely forgiven is the person's race or national origin." Therefore, the order continued, farmers were "Experiencing discrimination at the hands of their government." A federal court in Texas found similar discrimination by the Biden administration, but in a different context: restaurants.

The high court ruled unanimously against the administration, dismissing its arguments as "Sleight of hand." Despite the above losses and others that Biden has suffered in the courts, he and his team appear undeterred in pushing the legal envelope in pursuit of their policy agenda.
