Since President Trump entered office, he has faced a slew of nationwide injunctions to halt actions of his administration.

Some of those who have ordered the Trump administration to halt certain actions are U.S. District Judges James Boasberg , Amir Ali , Loren AliKhan , William Alsup , Deborah Boardman , John Coughenour , Paul A. Engelmayer , Amy Berman Jackson , Angel Kelley , Brendan A. Hurson , Royce Lamberth , Joseph Laplante , John McConnell and Leo Sorokin .

Several of these judges were confirmed in a bipartisan manner, and some even prevailed with no opposition.

Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley were asked if they were still happy with how the judges were confirmed and their individual votes.

They were also asked whether there was anything alarming in the judges' records and if Republicans did enough to block certain confirmations.

McConnell 's office pointed to comments he made over the legislative recess at a press conference in Kentucky .

Grassley 's office has notably slated a hearing on nationwide injunctions for next week .
