We Can't Stop Winning
In a major decision this past week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that lower courts can no longer issue nationwide injunctions, which are broad rulings by federal judges anywhere in the country that block the federal government's policies across the entire nation. This came from a case involving President Trump’s 2025 executive order, which aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegals. While the Court didn’t decide whether the order and its content (birthright citizenship) itself are legal, it did say that lower courts went too far by stopping President Trump’s order nationwide. Now, the order can move forward in the 28 states that didn’t sue to block it, while the other 22 states still have local blocks in place. That means the policy will apply in some parts of the country but not others, for now.
This is a huge win for President Trump and his administration and will give him more power to carry out other executive orders without having to fight judicial tyranny. For example, if he issues a new immigration rule or border security order, a single judge does not have the authority to freeze it nationwide unless the case goes all the way to the Supreme Court or becomes a class action lawsuit. This ruling reigns in activist judges who are trying to prevent America from becoming Great Again.
The decision also sparked tension in the Court itself. Biden Nominee and DEI hire Ketanji Jackson wrote a strongly worded dissent, dismissing legal arguments as "legalese." Justice Barrett criticized Jackson’s whole approach, saying Justice Jackson refused to write or engage with standard legal reasoning.
To quote: “Justice Jackson would do well to heed her own admonition: “'[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.' That goes for judges too.” Barrett wrote, pushing back against Jackson’s dismissal of traditional legal analysis. The exchange revealed deeper tensions, not just about the outcome of the case, but also about how the law should be written and understood. Either way, the Court’s ruling changes how quickly and widely a president’s orders can take effect, and President Trump now has a freer hand to act in states that don’t push back. America will be great again, regardless of what liberals and DEI hires have to say about it.
