Supreme Court’s power to curb judges’ power to block Trump’s orders in case of birthright citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that lower court judges have limited ability to block presidential orders, giving President Donald Trump what he called a “giant victory.”

The case revolves around whether Trump allows the use of executive orders to end birthright citizenship for non-citizens and undocumented immigrants.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court’s Conservative Party supported Trump and said they did not address Trump’s attempt to end his reproductive citizenship. Their rulings addressed the president’s actions extensively.

Experts said the ruling would change the challenges of future administrative actions, noting that legal challenges to Friday’s ruling could occur.

Immigration rights groups and 22 states sued the Trump administration in an executive order signed on the first day of the president’s signing. The order aims to end reproductive citizenship, which gives people automatic civil rights born on U.S. territory.

The lawsuits filed in Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington and elsewhere are intended to prevent the order from taking effect and to do so temporarily.

But the Justice Department disagrees and appeals to the Supreme Court, deeming that the injunctions are not constitutional.

On Friday, the court agreed to Trump’s administration and restricted how federal courts issued a general injunction.

Trump praised the ruling as a victory at a surprise press conference on Friday, saying the decision was a “huge victory for the constitution, separation of power and the rule of law.”

He said the “radical left-wing judge” tried to overturn his power as president, and the national ban was a “serious threat to democracy.”

After returning to the White House in January, Trump immediately began to use executive action as a means to complete the agenda.

Attorney General Pam Bondi also spoke at a press conference, saying the decision means the judge will not be able to stop Trump’s policies.

She said she hopes the Supreme Court will raise the question of birthright citizenship itself when the next court begins.

While Friday’s ruling said courts would still be able to stop presidential lawsuits that they believe are unconstitutional or illegal, it will take place further in the judicial process, which will provide the president with more room for action.

The court said Trump’s birthright citizen order will be able to take effect 30 days after the court makes comments due to the ruling restricting the injunction.

However, the ruling may see further legal challenges.

Samuel Bray, a professor and national ban expert at Notre Dame Law School and expert on the national ban, said the ruling “fundamental restructuring the relationship between the federal court and the executive branch.”

The Supreme Court ruling would mean that the universal injunction “will no longer be the default remedy for implementing action challenges.”

Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the majority, said the federal court did not “exercise general oversight on the executive branch” but instead “resolve cases and disputes consistent with those given by Congress.”

“When the court concluded that the executive branch’s actions were illegal, the answer was not to bring the court beyond its power,” she wrote.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who expressed his consent, said the Supreme Court, rather than the District Court or the Court of Appeal, “is usually still the ultimate decision-maker for the interim legal status of major new federal regulations and administrative litigation.”

Justice Sonya Sotomayor signed a dissent for the liberal judge, calling the Trump administration’s demands for the court “game skills” and said the court “played.”

“The court’s ruling is nothing more than a public invitation from the government to bypass the Constitution,” she wrote.

“The rule of law is not given in this country, nor is it others. It is the precept of our democratic nation, which can only be endured by those who are brave enough to survive in each branch. Today, the court has abandoned its crucial role in this effort. With the stroke of the pen, the President has made a “soloremn ridicule” on our constitution.”
