Trump Hails Supreme Court Win That Unshackles His Agenda from ‘Rogue Judges’
United States: In a swift and pointed public address, President Donald Trump hailed the Supreme Court’s emphatic restraint on lower courts' authority to enact blanket legal blocks, a move he described as a strike against what he termed judicial overreach.
Trump emerged at the podium scarcely an hour after the ruling was handed down, branding it a repudiation of what he called a “gargantuan misuse of judicial discretion.”
“I was voted in on a seismic mandate,” Trump said. “But in recent months, a fringe cluster of ideological judges attempted to snatch away the rightful reins of the presidency—hindering the public from receiving the very policies they overwhelmingly backed.”
The judgment now unlocks the Department of Justice’s ability to expedite the rollout of multiple policies previously frozen by sweeping court orders. Trump announced that the DOJ would move “without delay” to revive those stalled directives.
Casting blame squarely on select federal judges, Trump asserted that they had attempted to wield legislative dominion, crafting decisions with nationwide consequences, far beyond their assigned jurisdictions.
