SCOTUS limits power of judges to block Trump’s agenda

[Morphine Prince 109,664]

The Supreme Court has handed President Donald Trump a major victory by narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked his executive order purporting to end the right to birthright citizenship.

In doing so, the court sharply curtailed the power of individual district court judges to issue injunctions blocking federal government policies nationwide.

The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the individuals or groups who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a lawsuit into a class action — a special type of litigation that requires challengers to clear procedural hurdles.

The ruling Friday came in connection with three lawsuits in which judges granted nationwide injunctions against an executive order Trump signed on the first day of his second term, seeking to deny American citizenship to children born in the U.S. to foreigners on short term visas and those without legal status. The judges said the order is patently unconstitutional because it conflicts with Supreme Court precedent and the text of the 14th Amendment, which says that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

The Supreme Court did not rule Friday on the underlying constitutionality of Trump’s executive order. The three liberal justices, in dissent, said the president’s directive is clearly illegal.

So basically SCOTUS just granted Trump the right to implement potentially illegal orders, even obviously illegal ones, until lawsuits are determined. 

The road to dictatorship continues.

Absolute madness, people need to stand up and riot at this point!

[SpadesToStart 3,808]

Utterly asinine ruling. 

Federal judges can still issue nationwide injunctions if they determine it’s needed to grant a plaintiff complete relief, so I hope judges get creative in their justifications for doing so when Trump inevitably roles out his latest bs.

BREAKING: Trump says he will "promptly file" to advance policies blocked by judges, including birthright citizenship restrictions.

We need Article II Section IV DESPERATELY. Remove the entire administration from power and then engage in a full scale deprogramming of the MAGA cult.

Me looking at my family full of Trump voters knowing half of them are at risk of being deported to countries they've never been to and the other half are about to see their households torn apart, kids ripped away, and lives shattered 'cause they thought Hitler: The Remix would make eggs cheaper

That's what I am saying. Article II Section IV impeaches the ENTIRE administration. We cannot just get rid of Trump. We need to get rid of the entire administration.

Not to be pedantic, but: Article II Section IV allows for articles of impeachment to be filed, individually, for any and every individual in the administration (to and including the President and VP). It does not allow for a unilateral motion to remove the entire administration.

If only certain justices who passed away, stepped down and retire so that liberal adminstrations could have decided their replacements rather than risk dying during a conservative (or Trump) adminstration...

Look at the ramifications of the last six years... it could have been a different America.
