The US Supreme Court on Friday (June 27, 2025) has given a major victory to the President by curbing the power of federal judges to prevent the executive actions of Donald Trump.
With a 6-3 decision regarding Trump’s attempt to end congenital citizenship, the court said that the nationwide prohibition issued by the judges of the District Court is more than the just rights given by the Congress to the federal courts.
According to the AFP report, the US Supreme Court did not immediately pronounce the decision on the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order seeking abolition of citizenship for children born on American soil, but in the realm of judicial matters, the decision will remove a major obstruction for Trump’s often highly controversial orders and will increase the power of the White House further.
What did Justice Amy Kony Barrett say?
Justice Amy Koni Barrett said that the federal courts do not normalize the executive branch, but they resolve matters and disputes according to the rights given to them by the Congress. He said that when a court concludes that the executive branch has worked illegally, it does not mean to encroach its power for the court.
Three other judges disagreed with this decision. This decision will have far -reaching consequences for the judiciary’s ability to rein in Trump or future American presidents. The case was clearly about the executive order signed by Trump on the first day of his term, in which the birthright was abolished.
Trump’s order is considered unconstitutional by the courts of three states
Trump’s birth -based citizenship order has been considered unconstitutional by Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington State Courts, due to which the President has made an emergency appeal in the Supreme Court to cancel the nationwide prohibition.
The issue has become a slogan of the rally for Trump and his Republic associates, who accuse the judiciary of disrupting their agenda against the wishes of the voters. During the debate before the Supreme Court in May, both conservative and liberal judges had expressed concern about the increasing use of nationwide prohibitory orders on behalf of the District Courts in recent years.
