Have you ever noticed how a single judge in some far-off district can magically stop presidential policies that affect the entire country? For years, liberal judges have used nationwide injunctions like magic wands. They strike down conservative policies with just one bang of their gavel. Many Americans wonder who really runs the country – the president we elect or judges we’ve never heard of.

The battle between presidents and judges has been going on too long. When presidents try to keep campaign promises through executive actions, activist judges often block them. This has made many conservatives angry. They believe judges that nobody voted for shouldn’t have the power to make rules for the whole country.

The Supreme Court just changed everything! In a big 6-3 ruling in the Trump v. Casa case, the high court said lower courts can’t use nationwide injunctions anymore. This is huge news for President Trump. Now he can actually do what he promised voters without judges stopping him at every turn.

This ruling changes how our court system works in a big way. From now on, district courts can only extend their rulings beyond their local areas if the people suing file as a class action. That means they all need to have the same type of problem.

[…] The anti-Trump “Lawfare” strategy that has hurt conservative policies for years just lost its biggest weapon.

Now, those who want to challenge presidential actions need to win in every part of the country or file successful class-action lawsuits. That’s much harder to do. This means Trump’s executive orders on immigration, regulation, and other important issues will be much harder to block.

The Supreme Court has restored the proper balance of power between the branches of government. By limiting what single district judges can do, the Court has upheld an important principle. Our elected president should be able to govern without constant blocking from judges nobody elected.
