Ending the Imperial Judiciary | RealClearPolitics
During the first 20 weeks of Trump s second term, the administration filed 19 emergency applications to the Supreme Court to stop district court judges who substituted their policy judgments for the president s. In almost all cases, the administration prevailed, at least pending a complete judicial review, preserving its right to deport illegal aliens; permitting DOGE to review government spending and recommend cuts; disqualifying transgender people from military service; and allowing cuts to ideologically driven federal grants.
On its regular calendar, the Supreme Court unanimously: held that straight white people have the same rights to be protected from discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as do so-called marginalized minorities; protected a Catholic charity threatened with loss of its tax exemption by Wisconsin for offering services to non-Catholics; and dismissed the Mexican government s effort to sue U.S. gun manufacturers for drug cartel violence.
Friday alone, the court ruled that the American judiciary is required to consider only the cases and controversies before it, and may not order nationwide injunctions; agreed parents may withdraw their children from classes that indoctrinate them in trans ideology; held that Texas may bar minors from viewing internet pornography; and strengthened Trump s powers to impose tariffs by reaffirming, in an unrelated case, that Congress can delegate power to executive agencies if it lays out the general policy, principles and boundaries.
