The Supreme Court of the United States supported President Donald Trump's efforts on Friday to limit the power of federal courts to issue orders at national level. In a decision adopted with 6 votes at 3, the conservative majority of the Court decided that the lower courts must re-analyze the orders that blocked the Police of the Trump Administration on birth citizenship.

“No one disputes that the Executive has the duty to respect the law. But the judiciary has no unlimited authority in order to impose this obligation, in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the judiciary to do so ”wrote Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the author of the majority opinion, according to CNN.

However, the decision does not allow the immediate implementation of Trump's executive order and does not rule on its legality. Politics can enter into force only after 30 days after the decision.

Trump welcomes the decision: “a huge victory”

Donald Trump reacted promptly on social networks: “Huge victory at the Supreme Court of the United States“He wrote on Social Truth, presenting the decision as a confirmation of his position.

On the first day of his return to office, Trump signed an executive order refusing to recognize the citizenship of children born to the US who do not have at least one American citizen or permanent legal resident.

According to the contestants, over 150,000 newborns could be deprived of citizenship on the basis of this policy. Among those who challenged the order are 22 democratic general prosecutors and immigrant rights.

Harsh critics from Judge Sonia Sotomayor

Judge Sonia Sotomayor, supported by the other two liberal members of the Court, formulated a separate separate opinion: “Most completely ignore if the Executive Order of the President is constitutional, focusing only on the question whether the federal courts have the authority to issue universal decisions”.

She underlined the severity of the majority's decision: “The obvious illegality of the order reveals the severity of the majority's error and emphasizes why equity supports universal orders as appropriate remedies in this type of”.

Sotomayor accused the administration of trying to bypass the legality: “The government makes no effort to hide the tactical maneuver. However, shamefully, the Court comes into play.”.

The 14th amendment, under the question mark

Trump's directive contradicts, according to the applicants, the 14th amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees the citizenship of any person born on the American territory and under his jurisdiction. However, the administration argues that this guarantee does not apply to illegal immigrants or those temporarily in the country, such as students or visa workers.

Administration's lawyer D. John Sauer argued in front of the court that the amendment “Guarantee the citizenship of the children of former slave, not illegal strangers or temporary visitors”.

Long -term effects: Federal, weakened justice

The decision of the Court has significant consequences on how presidential policies can be challenged. CNN notes that the courts will still be able to issue national orders, but only if they can prove that it is the only way to prevent concrete harm.

For Trump and any other future president, this precedent means that it will be more difficult for opponents to stop policies at national level. It is not impossible, but it requires additional steps.

The Supreme Court, increasingly favorable to Trump's policies

The courtyard, dominated by a conservative majority, recently offered several victories to Trump. It allowed the resumption of deportations to third countries and ended temporary protection for immigrants. However, in some cases, such as the expulsion of the Venezuelan immigrants, it has brake the administration decisions, invoking the lack of legal procedures.
