WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday vowed to fight back against federal courts that issue injunctions barring the federal government from implementing regulations nationwide, and accused federal judges of engaging in "judicial activism."

In a speech in Missouri, Sessions revealed he was issuing new litigation guidance that he said would "assist our Department attorneys in fighting unconstitutional orders" all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
