Supreme Court Boosts Presidential Power, Limits Nationwide Injunctions

The Supreme Court has delivered a significant boost to former President Donald Trump's executive authority, backing his efforts to limit lower court orders that have previously hindered his administration's agenda. The ruling curtails the power of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions, which have frequently blocked Trump's policies on issues such as the budget, mass firings, and immigration. CNN Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent Paula Reid described the decision as "a big win for President Trump," noting his past frustrations with judicial blocks on his executive actions. This new development is expected to allow future administrations to implement policies more swiftly. However, the Supreme Court notably did not weigh in on the constitutionality of Trump's controversial attempt to limit birthright citizenship through an executive order. This specific issue remains subject to ongoing litigation, with the larger constitutional questions potentially returning before the justices in the coming years.
