The United States Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump a great victory on Friday by stopping the power of lonely federal judges to block executive actions.
In a 6-3 ruling derived from Trump’s commitment to end birth citizens, the court said the national media issued by the judges of the district courts “probably exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts.”
The Superior Court did not immediately rule on the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order that sought to end automatic citizenship for children born to US soil.
But the broader decision on the scope of judicial decisions will eliminate a great obstacle to Trump’s very controversial orders and reaffirm the power of the White House.
“The federal courts do not exercise general supervision of the executive branch; they resolve cases and controversies consisting of the authority that Congress has given them,” said Judge Amy Robo Barrett, author of the opinion.
“When a court concludes that the executive branch has acted illegally, the answer is not that the court also exceeds its power,” Barrett said in an opinion united by the other five conservative judges in the Court.
The three dissenting liberal judges.
The ruling has long -range ramifications for the ability of the Judiciary to control Trump or future US presidents.
The case was apparently on Trump’s executive order signed on his first day in office ending the birth citizenship.
But in reality he focused on whether a single judge of the Federal District Court has the right to issue a national block to a presidential decree with a universal court while the matter is being challenged in the courts.
Trump’s Birth Law Citizenship Order has been considered unconstitutional by Maryland’s courts, Massachusetts and the Washington state, which leads the president to make an emergency appeal before the Supreme Court in an effort to ensure that the Superior Court destroyed the use of national mandates.
The problem has become a shout of meeting for Trump and its Republican allies, who accuse the Judiciary of preventing their agenda against the will of voters.
Trump’s executive order on the citizenship of birth law is only one of the articles of his agenda that have been blocked by judges throughout the country, both democratic appointed and Republicans, since he assumed the position in January.
During the oral arguments in the case before the Supreme Court in May, the conservative and liberal judges had expressed concern about the growing use of national mandates by the district courts in recent years.
‘Nuclear weapon’
Judge Samuel Alito, a archienervador, said that precautionary measures throughout the country represent a “practical problem” because there are hundreds of judges of the District Court and each of them is “convinced” that they know better.
The general lawyer John Sauer compared the national mandates with a “nuclear weapon”, saying that “interrupt the careful balance of the constitution of the separation of powers.”
The Trump administration had asked the Supreme Court to restrict the application of the court order of a district court only to the parties that presented the case and the district where the judge presides.
The previous presidents have also complained about the national mandates that chain their agenda, but such orders have increased sharply under Trump, who has seen more in two months than the Democrat Joe Biden during his first three years in office.
Trump’s executive order on the citizenship of birth law decrees that children born to parents in the United States illegally or temporary visas would not automatically become citizens.
The three lower courts ruled that to be a violation of the 14th amendment, which establishes: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction of it, are citizens of the United States.”
