By a historical ruling, the Supreme Court, where the majority of the Conservatives are, essentially deducting the right to the federal judges to make the government’s decisions illegal after appeals.
This decision solves the hands of the US president, as it restricts the power of the judiciary and at the same time gives him the green light to proceed with bills and decrees that further degrade the US, such as the decree on how citizenship is granted.
The case examining the Supreme Court indirectly concerned the right for those born in the US to automatically acquire citizenship. With six votes in favor of (conservative judges) against three against (the progressives), he held that the “universal” decisions issued by the federal judges, that is, those who apply at nationwide “most likely exceed the powers granted by Congress”.
“When a court concludes that the executive power has acted illegally, the court’s response could not be overcome its powers,” conservative judge Amy Connie Barrett told the majority.
“Huge victory” says Trump
Trump immediately welcomed the ruling of the Supreme Court as “a huge victory”.
The court, however, did not issue a ruling on the constitutionality or not of the Presidential Decree of Trump, which annulled the “law law”, that is, the acquisition of citizenship from those born on US territory, regardless of their immigration regime.
The history of the decision
On January 20, shortly after his swearing -in, Trump signed the decree abolished by “ground law”, arguing that his aim is to combat irregular migration. All the federal courts and the Court of Appeal dealing with the case then described the decree unconstitutional.
The Trump government appealed to the Supreme Court, asking him not to abolish the suspension of the decree but to limit it exclusively to the persons who had appealed to justice.
Soil law has been implemented for more than 150 years, it is guaranteed by the 14th amendment of the Constitution and stipulates that any child born in the US automatically becomes an American citizen.
Trump’s decree banned the federal government from issuing passports, citizenship certificates or other documents to children whose mothers live irregularly or temporarily in the US and whose father is not an American citizen or a permanent resident of the country, that is, he is not a “card”.
The 14th amendment was adopted in 1868, after the Civil War and the abolition of work, so that the former slaves and their offspring can gain rights.
Successive governments, Republican and Democratic, often expressed dissatisfaction with the judicial system since a single federal judge could block their politics on any matter, whether it was about abortion, immigration or student loans.
The consequences
Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court could have a very serious impact on all the judicial cases involved by the Trump government, as well as the subsequent US governments.
The Supreme Court also ruled that Trump’s decree may not be implemented before 30 days passed by today’s ruling.
It is estimated that more than 150,000 newborns will not be able to obtain citizenship. The Democratic General Attorney General, 22 states, organizations defending the rights of immigrants and pregnant immigrants, had appealed against the decree.
