The Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. CASA marks a significant expansion of presidential power, easing restrictions that prevent illegal policies from being enacted. By dismantling universal injunctions previously used by lower courts to block unconstitutional executive actions, this ruling allows for the implementation of measures like Trump's controversial attempts to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. The implications are vast, raising concerns about presidential overreach and undermining established legal protections guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and more than a century of precedent, subsequently forming potential chaos within the judiciary.
With a single decision, the conservative supermajority stripped judges of their most powerful tool to rein in lawless executive action, handing the president far more authority.
At the worst possible time, in the worst possible case, the Supreme Court has ceded immense power to a president who is dead-set on abusing it.
The court rolled back three universal injunctions that had halted President Donald Trump's attack on birthright citizenship, opening the door to its enforcement while the case is litigated.
The order declares that the children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visa-holders may no longer obtain American citizenship at birth - a brazen violation of the 14th Amendment.
