The Supreme Court broadly gave President Donald Trump a win Friday in its first major case over his agenda, as the court limited lower court judges’ ability to block his policies nationwide, though the court side-stepped the question of whether his policy restricting birthright citizenship is constitutional.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court issued its ruling in Trump v. CASA Inc., a case consolidating several lawsuits against Trump’s executive order, which reverses longstanding Constitutional precedent to bar children born in the U.S. from automatically getting citizenship at birth if their parents aren’t U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
The president asked justices to more broadly rule on whether federal judges representing a single state or region can impose injunctions that block a policy nationwide, meaning courts would not be able to unilaterally block his agenda going forward unless the Supreme Court rules.
The court punted on the question of whether the birthright citizenship rule is lawful, but ruled 6-3 that lower courts cannot block policies nationwide, saying “Congress has granted federal courts no such power.”
Trump’s request to the court on nationwide injunctions comes as administration officials and allies have repeatedly complained about federal judges blocking the president’s policies, claiming judges are abusing their power and are biased against him politically.

As expected.
Curious to see how the leftists are going to take this commonsense and correct ruling. Should be an interesting day.
My God, does this free up the administration!
This is the first of how many? Going to be a busy day.
Five more expected.
If nothing else, it will drain their resources having to sue trump in every district.
That little bit is still enough to set some records straight and piss off a lot of our supporters of illegals.
Democrat and liberal heads are going to explode. This temper tantrum will be fun to watch.
The President will have a press conference on this ruling at 11:30 AM
The second case. It is another major one: Kennedy v. Braidwood Management
The birthright citizenship executive order had no chance but the end to injunctions was made necessary by activist left wing judges who abused it. Good day for the legal system.
The Court just ruled that parents do have a right to what their kids learn
Mahmoud v Taylor
Another 6-3 decision.
It’s clear someone who doesn’t know what a woman is should be on the court. Her dissent was so ridiculous that ACB just dismissed it in a single sentence. It’s a good lesson about dealing with crazy. The arguments are so self defeating they are better left alone than wasting the time trying to reason with a fool
