WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump and his top aides have declared a victory over federal judges who blocked Republican administration policies at unprecedented fees after the Supreme Court said national decisions from regional judges are likely to exceed their authority.
“It was a big decision. We are very pleased,” Trump told reporters at a White House press conference, which was repealed before June 27th. He then added that “the Constitution was brought back.”
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court ordered US District Court judges to temporarily block Trump’s policies in cases of a second-term presidential executive order that restricted the birthright citizenship of children whose parents were in the country without temporary or legal approval.
Trump said he is grateful that the Supreme Court will stop nearly 700 district court judges from impose national injunctions. He especially thanked Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Chief John Roberts for writing the decision.
“These judges tried to determine national laws,” Trump said. “This was a huge abuse of electricity.”
Attorney General Pam Bondy, who appeared with Trump in the White House, set out for what he called an “imperial judge” who tried to block Trump’s administration’s policies. She picked out federal judges who ordered 35 out of 40 blocks across the country for Trump’s policies in Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Washington and the District of Columbia, and noted that the High Court had suspended its practice.
“Americans are finally getting what they voted for,” Bondy said. “Now there are no more fraudulent judges who will strike the country with President Trump’s policies.”
The president’s press conference took place at another whirlwind week tail, beginning with US forces launching air at three Iranian nuclear sites and ending with Senate Republicans struggling to find votes to pass Trump’s major tax, spending and policy-legal packages before the July 4 deadline, when it comes to self-imposed July 4th.
The bill includes Trump’s priorities, including tax cuts and increased spending on border security. The House has approved the 1,100-page bill, but the senator says there are several important provisions, including restrictions on Medicaid healthcare compensation, not enjoying special status at the chamber.
Asked how important it is for Congress to send measures to him by Independence Day after work, Trump replied, “It’s not over, but if possible, I’d like to do it by that time.”
Trump: The 14th Amendment for Slave Baby”
Trump said the Supreme Court ruling allows his administration to return to court and win a lawsuit against birthright citizenship established under 14.th Corrections immediately after the civil war.
“It was for the baby slave,” he said. “It wasn’t meant to people scam the system and trying to come to the country on vacation.”
“This will get us there and ultimately win that case, because hundreds of thousands are poured into our country under birth citizenship,” Trump said. – Erin Mansfield
Bondi: Scotus’ domination solves “bipartisan issues”
Attorney General Pam Bondy has promoted the Supreme Court ruling as a victory for not just Trump but all presidents.
“These injunctions allowed district court judges to become emperor,” she said, “it was a bipartisan issue that continued five presidential terms.
People’s injunctions are plaguing Republican and Democrat presidents. Former President Barack Obama dealt with 12 during his two terms. Former President Joe Biden had 14 in three years.
Trump faces 64 injunctions in his first term, with over 200 cases already underway against his second administration. – Savanna Kucha and Maureen Grop
“I have great respect for her”: Trump praises Amy Connie Barrett
Supreme Court Judge Amy Connie Barrett has been targeted by MAGA activists to monitor President Donald Trump, but the president said he is happy with her.
Barrett wrote a majority opinion on a 6-3 decision restricting the use of a national injunction by federal courts, which the Trump administration opposed.
“I have great respect for her. I have always had it and her decision was written beautifully today,” Trump said at a press conference celebrating the sentencing.
Barrett previously opposed the Trump administration’s efforts to freeze funds for foreign aides, drawing criticism from the right. – Zach Anderson
Trump on tax bills: Senate “It’s a bit difficult for Congressmen.”
During a press conference, Trump admitted an extreme setback to the “big and beautiful” tax and spending bills that approached a key moment before the Senate.
“It was a bit difficult for Congressmen,” Trump said, referring to Elizabeth McDonough, a longtime Senate aide who has served under the Democrats and the GOP majority. “And I’ll say I don’t agree with the councillors about some things and that she was fine in other ways.”
McDonough, an independent official, has struck a variety of provisions from Trump’s marquee legislative package, setting his voluntary timeline on shaky ground.
Trump, in particular, wasn’t going as far as some of his supporters in Congress who called for McDonough to be fired. -Savannah Kuchar and Francesca Chambers
Trump calls the New York Mayor’s Primary winner “a terrible thing for our country.”
Trump targeted New York winner Zoran Mamdani this week in the Democratic primary, and mislabeled “this communist from New York.”
“I can’t believe it’s happening,” Trump told reporters. “He’s a communist. We’re going to go to communism…it’s so bad for New York, but the rest of the country is rebelling against it.”
Democrat socialist and member of the state legislature, Mamdani defeated candidate Andrew Cuomo, the founding candidate, against political expectations, by a seven-point margin in the June 24th Democratic primary. Mamdani is not a communist. –Sarah D. Wire
Trump laughs tariff critics: “They should go back to business school.”
Economists who predicted that the Trump administration’s tariffs could cause a recession should “return to business school,” the president said in defending his second term of taxation.
“We’re taking billions and billions of dollars from China and many other countries,” Trump added.
Trump announced many tariffs that would shake the economic market, but suspended many of them as he negotiated trade deals and later lowered China’s sudden tariffs. The market has since recovered. – Zach Anderson
Trump’s July 4th tax and policy bill deadline: “Not Endoll”
Trump said his voluntary July 4 deadline for Congress to complete his major tax and policy laws is not solid, but Republicans have many concerns about the bill that they have to resolve to lack democratic support.
“That’s not the end, but I would like to get it done by then if possible,” Trump said.
He argued that the bill includes a $4 trillion extension to Trump’s 2017 tax cut, so that failing to approve the law would lead to tax cuts.
“You could have had some ancestors,” Trump said. “I think there’s a lot of pressure to approve that.” – Defeat Janssen
Trump on his threat to life: “I get that throbbing feeling”
Trump appeared to suggest at a press conference that he still had physical effects from a bullet that grazeed his ears during an attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania last year.
Discussing the threat to his life, Trump said he was threatened in the past, “I get that throbbing feeling from time to time. I get that throbbing feeling,” Trump said.
“But what do you know? It’s okay. This is dangerous business,” the president added. -Zac Anderson
Trump appeared to be enjoying himself at a surprise press conference with a reporter, but his White House announced it within 30 minutes it took place.
He laughed at who he chose out of the over 75 reporters during the question and answer session.
When the White House press conference reached the 45-minute mark, Trump asked reporters, “Should I continue doing this?”
The June 27 event was Trump’s second press conference in the briefing room since he returned to the office. At one point, he told journalists he would close the press conference when he gets bored. Ten minutes later he decided he had enough and left the briefing room. – Francesca Chambers
