Trump Urges Supreme Court To Limit Judges' Power Over His Agenda

Foreign media have reported that Trump requested the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to reduce the authority of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions against his administration's policies. He warned that if this trend is not stopped, the country would face a serious crisis.

According to Reuters, after Trump returned to power, more than 100 lawsuits have been filed against his policies. Some of these lawsuits led to nationwide injunctions by federal judges that halted policies such as the restriction on automatic citizenship rights for children born in the U.S.

Trump's legal team has asked the Supreme Court to limit the scope of three judicial orders in Washington, Massachusetts, and Maryland against his executive order on citizenship. This move is part of the increasing tensions between Trump and the U.S. judiciary.

Previous U.S. Presidents have also faced similar judicial orders. For example, Joe Biden was unable to cancel $430 billion in student debt due to a nationwide court ruling.

Trump believes that federal judges should not be able to halt nationwide policies with a single ruling and views this practice as a threat to the executive branch's authority. He hopes that with the conservative majority in the Supreme Court, judicial obstacles to his policies, especially in the immigration domain, will be reduced.

Trump's request for the Supreme Court to limit the powers of federal judges highlights the ongoing struggle between the executive and judicial branches. The outcome of this case could set a significant precedent for the future of judicial oversight in the U.S.

This legal battle may also have broader implications for how future administrations approach executive orders and the role of the judiciary in enforcing or blocking those policies. As the case progresses, it will be important to monitor how the Supreme Court rules and what impact it has on the balance of powers in the U.S. government.
