The republican majority of the Congress and the Conservatives of the Supreme Court gives way to protecting it, giving President Donald Trump more and more on what the Constitution has separated in three.
But republican legislators applauded when Trump launched an air offensive against Iran rather than exchanging that many were kept away from the loop.
Mike Johnson room president did not seem to worry about it reports that the White House would limit its sharing of information with the legislators. His answer suggested concern leaks to keep the legislators’ duty to supervise the executive.
International trade regulations is something that the Constitution puts on the plates of the legislators. A law series Over the past one hundred years, has slowly given power over the President’s prices, but Trump has taken this authority and armed it to make requests from other countries, As he did on Friday When he reduced trade discussions with Canada, the last touch of a trade war he designed and scripted as a reality show.
Conservative judges have limited the capacity of the judges of the district court to issue injunctions nationally against executive policies.
“It really brings the Constitution,” said President Donald Trump on Friday without a puff of irony in the White House.
The decision Also let it go literally to ignore the clear language of the 14th amendment, at least for the moment.
“This is a fundamental change in the balance between the powers of the presidency and the powers of the courts,” said Elie Honig, CNN principal legal analyst. “This decision that we have just received an impact on how the presidency exercises power.”
Judge Amy CONEY BARRETT said there were no precedent in US law for national injunctions. It returned to English law and the “judicial prerogative of the king” in a very technical decision and based on history which, intentionally declared “is not addressed” to the question of the citizenship of the right of birth in the 14th amendment or the law on immigration and nationality.
“This is as clear as the Constitution on questions,” said Deborah Pearlstein, professor of constitutional law at Princeton, appearing on CNN on Friday.
But the case will not go to court this year.
The short-term result of the decision may well be that at least some babies born in the United States may not have American citizenship, despite the very clear language of the 14th amendment. The Supreme Court told the lower courts to look at business and reassess their injunctions. The court also seemed to invite collective appeals against Trump’s decree.
The national injunctions of district court judges disturbed the presidents of the two parties, but Trump’s impetuous vision of his power made a record number of actions of the lower courts.
Trump’s prosecutor general, Pam Bondi, has developed the decision to recover the power of the judges of the lower courts in liberal districts.
“They transformed the district courts into an imperial judicial system,” she said.
But Liberal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that it is the type of slippery slope that endangers the entire American system of the government.
“I have no doubt that, if the judges should allow the executive to act illegally in certain circumstances, as the court concludes today, the executive anarchy will flourish, and from there, it is not difficult to predict how it all ends,” she wrote. “Finally, the executive power will become completely indisputable, and our beloved constitutional republic will no longer be.”
Last year, the conservative judges joined the Trump’s argument that the presidents should have a kind of super immunity against the proceedings for almost all the measures they take during their mandate. Chief judge John Roberts said that the court “could not afford to fix exclusively or mainly on current requirements.” Rather, he had something bigger in mind.
“The principles of separation of sustainable powers guide our decision in this case,” he wrote.
This decision almost ended Trump’s pursuit during the Biden administration for trying to cancel the presidential election of 2020. He later won the presidential election of 2024.
If the granting of immunity to Trump was supposed to preserve the separation of powers, it was a puff, because, as Joan Biskupic of CNN wrote, Trump uses this decision Almost as a white check. He “boasts of his ability to define the law,” she wrote.
“This was intended for babies of slaves; he was not intended for people who were trying to swindle the system and to come to the country on vacation,” said Trump about the 14th amendment to the White House on Friday.
THE 14th amendment was promulgated after the civil war as a response to the decision of Dred Scott of the Supreme Court of 1857, a ugly blow on the history of the court which declared blacks ineligible to citizenship.
By not approaching the question, the Court seems at least open to allow Trump to modify the meaning of the amendment, for the moment, without going through the process of modification of the constitution or to adopt legislation by the congress – which is difficult to square with the idea of Roberts of the separation of the principles of powers.
Partly because Trump does things like decrees that clearly seem to violate a constitutional amendment and intentionally establishes court clashes on laws like the Detentionwhich are designed to limit the capacity of presidents to ignore the congress, its actions have led to a recording number national injunctions.
Now, with the blessing of the Supreme Court, he will try to go ahead with a list of laundry of articles from day to day before he read in the White House on Friday:
“Including the citizenship of the right of birth, the end of the financing of the sanctuary, the suspension of the resettlement of refugees, the freezing of unnecessary funding, preventing it from federal taxpayers to pay for transgender surgeries and many other priorities of the American people,” he said.
If the Supreme Court gives him power, he will use it.
