US EditionTrump Reshaped the Supreme Court. Now Emergency Appeals Are Helping Him Reshape the Government
WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The Supreme Court limited universal injunctions, a key win for the Trump administration, but multiple lower courts continue to issue injunctions blocking various policies, legal experts say.
- President Donald Trump has reshaped the Supreme Court and uses emergency appeals to fast-track cases affecting his second-term agenda.
- The administration's strategy emerged from its need to overcome frequent lower court injunctions that blocked policies like the birthright citizenship order.
- The Supreme Court recently struck down universal injunctions in a 6-3 Trump v. CASA decision, limiting lower courts to only block policies for parties before them.
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, while Justice Sotomayor cautioned that when the Executive declares plans to violate the law and follows through, it is the responsibility of the Judiciary to intervene and prevent such unlawful actions.
- This legal approach has advanced Trump’s agenda but left his administration facing ongoing lawsuits and criticism of eroding democratic checks and balances.
