"Illston appeared to agree with the plaintiffs, asserting in the hearing that Supreme Court precedent makes clear that while the president does have the authority to seek changes at agencies, he must do so in lawful ways.

She went on to say that critical transformations of the type Trump is attempting to carry out "must have the cooperation of Congress.

Illston said a temporary restraining order was likely necessary "to protect the power of the legislative branch." She noted that in his first term, Trump did in fact seek Congress' approval for similar restructuring plans.

"He could have done that here, but he didn't," Illston said."
