President Donald Trump claimed a “GIANT WIN” Friday as the US Supreme Court curbed the power of lone federal judges to block executive actions.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard,” Trump said on Truth Social, adding that he would hold a news conference at the White House at 11.30 am (1530 GMT).
“It has been an amazing period of time, this last hour. There are people elated all over the country… In recent months, we have seen a handful of radical Left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the President to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. That was a grave threat to democracy…We had been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together…“he said.
Earlier today, the US Supreme Court handed Trump a major victory by curbing the power of lone federal judges to block executive actions.
In a 6-3 ruling stemming from Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship, the court said nationwide injunctions issued by lower court judges “likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts.”
