A legal strategy favored by Republicans to halt the policies of Democratic administrations is now being turned around to box in former President Donald Trump and his hopes of winning the 2024 election.
John Castro, the long-shot GOP presidential candidate who is challenging Trump's candidacy in at least 14 states, is deploying Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure—a statute that allows a court to issue a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order—against Trump's 2024 campaign.
"If you utilize properly this special Rule 65, you can actually get a bench trial on the merits within 14 days. It's absolutely crazy," Castro told Newsweek. "I filed the case and within 14 days, boom, we're going to have a bench trial on the merits. And whatever the judge decides is going to hold true until the end of the trial."

Sounds similar to what Obama did to get elected to the Illinois State Senate 20 odd years ago.

1. This post is about Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 10th Amendment clarifies that powers not expressly part of federal government belong to state.
2. Do you have a legal or news article to explain what you mean by Obama's state senate election?

FLASHBACK: Obama attained power by questioning ballots and signatures
Former President Barack Obama won his first election by throwing all of his opponents off the ballot based on technicalities. In his first race for office—seeking an Illinois state Senate seat in 1996—Obama used the election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.

This Administration has not done the American people any favors. Maybe to those who are wealthy with phds and doctorates who don't want to pay off their student loans with some debt relief from overpriced colleges that are never complained about by democrats and who charge way more than the price of inflation. President Biden cares about jobs but not about corporations. He wants to tax them to death. He wants to force you to buy electric cars that not very many people want. He wants the purposely kill the oil and gas industry. He wants to send in millions of illegal aliens to overwhelm both right and blue States and red and blue cities. He wants to give us inflation because he likes spending money. He his stupid by Dynamics does not follow economics or Finance 101. Why do you think President Biden matched up against all Republican candidates including president Trump are tied or the Republicans win? That's because of stupid games that President Biden and his administration have been playing since they took office. They care about America last. They care about punishing success. They care about punishing women in favor of transgender weirdos who cheat because they were born men in sports events. They care more about illegal aliens than they do American citizens. When the vitaministration is faced with a Supreme Court decision saying no to their policies, the Biden Administration ignores the policies. So if Republicans are trying to stop democrats, it's for a damn good reason!
