Supreme Court curtails federal courts' power over presidents

The Supreme Court significantly weakened the federal judiciary's ability to block presidential actions deemed unconstitutional, limiting the scope of nationwide injunctions. This decision will make it harder to challenge potentially unlawful executive orders. The 6-3 ruling, along ideological lines, stemmed from a case involving a presidential executive order on birthright citizenship. The court determined that federal courts can only provide relief to the specific plaintiffs in a lawsuit, not issue broad injunctions. This ruling, which contradicts established legal precedent, could force individuals to file separate lawsuits across multiple districts to challenge unconstitutional actions. Critics argue this decision undermines the judiciary's role as a check on executive power.
