Supreme Court restricts lower judges’ power
The US Supreme Court has reined in the power of lower courts to block federal policies.
In a 6-3 ruling stemming from President Donald Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship, the court said nationwide injunctions issued by district court judges "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts."
After a number of courts suspended Trump's order, his administration appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that lower judges do not have the right to block presidential actions
The ruling has far-reaching ramifications for the ability of the judiciary to rein in Trump or future US presidents.
Is the US headed for a constitutional crisis?
