3 d. ago The US supreme court has dramatically expanded the powers of the president | Moira Donegan

Donald Trump, personally, will now have the presumptive power to persecute you, and nullify your rights in defiance of the constitution, at his discretionThose of us who cover the US supreme court are faced, every June, with a peculiar challenge: whether to describe what the supreme court is doing, or what is claims that it is doing.What the supreme court says it was doing in Friday’s 6-3 decision in Trump v Casa, Inc, the birthright citizenship case, is narrowing the power of federal district judges to issue nationwide injunctions, in deference to presidential authority.

Ruling to limit nationwide injunctions could see president’s order to ban birthright citizenship partially implementedUS politics live – latest updatesThe US supreme court has supported Donald Trump’s attempt to limit federal judges’ power to block his orders on a nationwide basis, in a controversial ruling on an emergency appeal related to the birthright citizenship case that has wide implications for the executive branch’s power and which Trump claimed as a “giant win”.The decision represents a fundamental shift in how US federal courts can constrain presidential power.
