"Today's decision restores the proper separation of powers between the branches of government. Ending nationwide injunctions is a tremendous victory for the American people and the rule of law." - White House Counsel David Warrington
No longer can rogue, activist judges abuse their authority to dictate the executive powers of the President of the United States, the Supreme Court ruled - a massive victory for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the presidency itself.
Since the moment President Trump took office, low-level activist judges have been exploiting their positions to kneecap the agenda on which he was overwhelmingly elected. In fact, of the 40 nationwide injunctions filed against President Trump's executive actions in his second term, 35 of them came from just five far-left jurisdictions: California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
Now, the Trump Administration can promptly proceed with critical action to save the country - like ending birthright citizenship, ceasing sanctuary city funding, suspending refugee resettlement, freezing unnecessary funding, stopping taxpayers from funding transgender surgeries, and much more.
The Supreme Court's commonsense decision was rightly hailed as a huge win:
President Trump: "The Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the RULE OF LAW in striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions … I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. It was a grave threat to democracy."
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Americans are finally getting what they voted for. No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump's policies across the entire nation - no longer."
CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid: "This is a big win for President Trump because he has been railing against these so-called nationwide injunctions … The justices are agreeing with Trump and limiting this power that judges have to block a policy for the entire country."
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig: "Such a big win for the Trump Administration and … the Office of the President."
Attorney Jonathan Turley: "I think that the Trump Administration has very good reason to celebrate. These district court judges have really tied down the administration."
Sen. John Kennedy: "Anybody who knows a law book from an L.L. Bean catalog knows that federal judges just made up this concept of universal injunctions … They just made it up because they don't agree with what a President or Congress has done."
MSNBC legal analyst Melissa Murray: "This is a huge win for the Trump administration."
The New York Times: "A major victory for President Trump"
