The Supreme Court Just Gave Trump Three Victories in One Ruling
Trump’s third victory was on the separation of powers itself. The Congress, which is controlled by the Republicans, faithful to him, is actually Moribonded as a coequal branch of the government. The White House affirmed the power to freeze the expenses appropriate by the Congress for any reason whatsoever or none, to dismantle and dissolve the agencies established by the Congress at a whim, and to order the military to attack the countries without authorization from the Congress. In response, the republican majority in the House and the Senate has largely increased their shoulders.
The federal courts have been a more reliable control of the presidential power in the last six months. Trump responded by defying judicial orders several times, in particular in immigration affairs, and by publicly denouncing the judges who govern him. The Supreme Court initially implemented a certain resistance by ordering the administration to stop deportations of the law on extraterrestrial enemies towards Salvador earlier this year, which he had done to the apparent test of judicial orders. He also prohibited certain decrees while letting others take effect, as it is more normal.
Friday’s decision brings up the balance towards Trump. Whenever the executive power called on national injunctions to the Supreme Court in recent years, he has sought to defeat the injunctions on the merits by arguing that policies are legal. For the citizenship of the right of birth, the Ministry of Justice of Trump took a different approach: it only appealed the national scope of the injunction of the lower court, leaving the decision of the complainants themselves intact.
“For what?” Sotomayor asked in his dissent. “The answer is obvious: to obtain such a relief, the government should show that the order is probably constitutional, an impossible task in the light of the text, the history of the Constitution, the precedents of this court, the federal law and the practice of executive branches. The government is therefore trying its hand rather to a different game.
