This was a major obstacle to the agenda of President Trump – the capacity of a single federal judge in a single district to block a policy across the country.
In question after the question, the White House was arrested by the judges to carry out the initiatives of Mr. Trump while they are pleaded in court, including its ability to retain the funds of schools with diversity programs, to move transgender women in federal prisons and to eliminate the deportation protections of hundreds of thousands of venezuelan migrants.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court will occupy such a case, with potentially major implications for the power of the judicial branch.
The dispute arises from an executive decree signed by Mr. Trump on the first day of his second term which ended the practice of the granting of citizenship to all children born in the United States. Politics was blocked almost immediately by the federal judges who judged that it was unconstitutional.
The debate on the question of whether these Gelets are legal simmer for years, because the judges of the district courts made orders blocking the actions of the presidents of the two parties. But Mr. Trump has expressed particular indignation about them since his return to functions. Some judges have also criticized national injunctions.
A decision which limits the injunctions at the national level could considerably reshape the way in which the federal courts deal with the challenges of Mr. Trump’s policies, by restricting the power of federal judges to quickly block policies and stimulating executive power. Groups opposing Mr. Trump’s actions should most likely provide many individual complaints or pursue other legal paths, such as collective appeals.
