SN USA limited the court's rights to block the president's actions

On Friday, the US Supreme Court limited the right of first -instance courts to block the president's executive ordinances throughout the country. As a result, a decree on limiting the law on the acquisition of US citizenship along with birth may enter into force within 30 days in some of the states. Donald Trump announced a “giant victory”.

In the judgment issued on Friday, six conservative judges of the court did not refer to the constitutionality of the Trump decree on limiting the right to acquire US citizenship along with the birth of the country, but to the District Court's decision to temporarily suspend the operation of the regulation throughout the country. Although the practical effects of the ruling are not entirely clear, according to the New York Times, this means that Trump's decree in 30 days may enter into force in 28 out of 50 states, which the authorities did not complain about it. At the same time, more complaints may be submitted at this time, which will allow it to be blocked in other parts of the country.

Although the case concerned a regulation on limiting land law, the court's decision has a much broader effect, limiting the general law of the lower courts to suspend the entry into force of the regulations of the presidents throughout the country. Pursuant to the decisions, district courts will be able to suspend the action of presidential decrees only for persons or groups who have filed a lawsuit. The issue of temporary funds in the whole country is still possible in cases where the applicants are the state authorities or when it comes to a collective lawsuit representing people throughout the country, although procedural requirements for such lawsuits are more difficult to meet.

According to Politico portal and other media. The president himself agreed with these assessments.

“A huge victory in the Supreme Court of the United States! Even a fog with citizenship indirectly hit,” Trump wrote in an entry on his Truth Social social networking site, announcing a press conference on this occasion.

The judge Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote on behalf of most, said that the current practice of the courts was exceeding their rights, because their role is not “general supervision of executive power”, but to solve specific matters facing them.

“When the court decides that the executive operates illegally, the court's response should not be to exceed his rights,” said Barrett.

The decision of the conservative majority met with acute criticism of three liberal judge, which in a separate sentence described it as a “parody of the rule of law”, which in effect allows the executive to violate the constitution.

“No law is safe in the new legal regime that creates a court. Today is a threat of birth. Tomorrow, another administration may try to confiscate firearms that follow the rights of citizens or prevent people from gathering on services,” Judge Sonia Sotomayor wrote in Votum. In another separate sentence, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson assessed the decision as “an existential threat to the rule of law.”

Unlike a conservative majority, which refused to take a position on the constitutionality of taking away the right to acquire citizenship from illegal immigrants and persons staying on non -immigration visas, the liberal three assessed that the decree is clearly illegal. The Law of Earth speaks about 14. Amendment to the US Constitution, which states that “everyone who was born or naturalized in the United States and is subject to their sovereignty, is a citizen of the United States and the state in which they live.”
