The US Supreme Court's recent term prominently featured decisions supporting President Trump's agenda, particularly a ruling that limits judges' power to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential initiatives. This term saw the court's conservative majority consistently rule in favor of Trump, facilitating actions like the discharge of transgender military members and reinstating controversial policies deemed illegal by lower courts. Critics, including some justices, voiced concern over the court's approach, suggesting it failed to address the implications of a president perceived as disregarding constitutional principles.
The court has yet to grapple with "what to do with the president who does not seem to be motivated by public spiritedness" - Kermit Roosevelt.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett emphasized that "Federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the executive branch," reflecting the court's deference to Trump's administration.
The Supreme Court repeatedly reinstated Trump policies found by lower courts to be illegal, suggesting a significant shift in judicial philosophy.
Liberal justices criticized the majority for rewarding Trump's "lawlessness," highlighting the contentious nature of the court's recent rulings.
