🚨 The Supreme Court just delivered a HUGE win on birthright citizenship.

But it's even bigger than that. They also reaffirmed that rogue district judges can't issue nationwide injunctions to stop President Trump from carrying out his agenda.

This is a big, big deal. 🧵 Image
This case wasn’t just about just about birthright citizenship—it was about the proper role of the courts in our political system.

I called this after oral arguments took place for the case last month: "Trump could be on the cusp of a big win."
Earlier this month, I also led a hearing on how far-left district court judges weaponized nationwide injunctions to make policy for the entire nation.

This has been a key piece of the Left's war on Trump's presidency. SCOTUS just dealt them a major blow.
Here's the constitutional issue.

The problem with nationwide injunctions is that they exceed the Article III power.

Article III's "Cases" and "Controversies" requirement only gives courts the power to address the injury of an existing complaining party—not a hypothetical one.
The Supreme Court was right to conclude today that the we don’t have an “an imperial Judiciary” with “unbridled authority.”

Under our Constitution, as the Court's opinion noted, the judiciary doesn’t get to “exercise general oversight of the Executive Branch." Image
Image
Our system of government can’t function if a single district judge can stop the President of the United States from carrying out his duties.

A huge win for America First immigration policy. A huge win for sanity in our political system. A huge win for America. 🇺🇸

The entire Democratic Party is lining up behind an anti-American open borders socialist who wants to tear down the country that welcomed him and his family.

Don't look away.

This is who they are. 🧵 Image
Zohran Mamdani just won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. He wants to:

• End cooperation with ICE
• End deportations of criminals
• Abolish prisons
• Defund the police
• Decriminalize all drugs
• Have taxpayer-funded sex changes for kids

...and much more.
Mamdani is an open left-wing revolutionary. Those are his words—not mine.

He's not just "liberal." He is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America—and holds every insane leftist, socialist, Third Worldist position in the book. Image

King George Soros is bankrolling "No Kings Day"—a national day of riots—on June 14th through one of his leftist NGOs.

Soros financed the mass migration crisis. Now he's mobilizing his army of illegal aliens and far-left activists to try to stop President Trump from ending it. 🧵 Image
Image
The Left wants to nationalize the riots in Los Angeles. On June 14th—the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army—they're planning to organize 1,500 "No Kings Day" protests across the country.

They call it a "nationwide day of defiance." Image
The organizing group, Indivisible, was founded in 2016 to fund, organize and mobilize anti-America and anti-Trump protests.

It has received more than $7.5 million from George Soros since 2017. Image

This is how it always works.

The Right wins elections, and the Left pretends to magically rediscover the Constitution, the rule of law and free speech.

Don't fall for it. 🧵 Image
Last week, 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley gave a dramatic commencement speech warning that "our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack."

We've heard these lines a million times before. Image
Image
Today's corporate press has an extraordinary hero complex—they imagine themselves as fearless, courageous defenders of democracy and freedom, as brave as the boys on the beaches at D-Day, risking it all to fight tyranny.

They want us to believe they're "speaking truth to power."

The Hur audio makes unavoidable what free thinking Americans had known—for most (all) of his four years, Joe Biden was mentally incapable of serving as President.

It's why I was the first Senator to call for the 25th Amend.

The deeper question—who was running our country? 🧵
Axios finally published the long-sought-after audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's 2023 interview of President Biden regarding Biden's classified documents found near his Corvette.

Its content was exactly what we all expected.

He couldn't string sentences together. He had no idea of some of the most important dates in his life. He was a sad, confused old man.

🚨 SCOTUS just heard arguments on President Trump's birthright citizenship order.

This case is big. It isn't just about birthright citizenship—it's about the limits of how rogue judges can use nationwide injunctions.

My prediction: Trump could be on the cusp of a big win. 🧵 Image
Solicitor General John Sauer (who was my Solicitor General back in my AG days) argued for President Trump. Right out of the gate, multiple liberal justices were swinging for his head, but they could never land the critical blow on Teflon John.
While birthright citizenship is the subject matter of the "merits," SCOTUS is more likely to address a critical procedural question and dodge the merits.

That question: Can courts issue nationwide injunctions or must courts address questions of group relief in class actions?

Illegals who broke our laws to enter the US aren’t due the same process as citizens.

SCOTUS and the Constitution agree: illegals' rights are limited, especially in deportation.

President Trump will deport millions of illegals without a hearing. Here's how. 🧵 Image
In 1996, back Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which created "expedited removal" for certain classes of illegal aliens who had been in the country less than two years. Image
What process are they entitled to under expedited removal? Only a finding by a DHS officer that an alien is 1. here illegally and 2. in a category covered by expedited removal.

In most circumstances: No hearing, no habeas, no appeals.
