After a slew of High-Profile Successes in the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump (R) Administration found Key Parts of its Agenda Blocked in Federal Court this week, with Judges Criticizing its Actions as "Unlawful" and "Unconstitutional." Federal Courts have Oversight Powers, rooted in the U.S. Constitution. Judicial Authority, especially concerning Injunctions against Executive Actions, draws from Article III. Judicial Review serves as a Check on the Executive Branch, Preventing any Overreach that might Infringe on Constitutional Laws or Rights.
Federal Judges issued Orders Blocking Trump's use of the Wartime Alien Enemies Act, that "Allows the U.S. President to Detain or Deport Non-Citizens from Enemy Nations during Wartime, and it has been invoked during Major Conflicts in U.S. History", to Speed Deportations, to use Federal Deployment of the National Guard for Llaw Enforcement purposes in California, and the Freezing of $2 billion in Federal Funds to Harvard.
It was the Worst week in the Courts for Trump and His Administration, and came after another Major Loss last week, when an Appeals Court Struck Down some of His Tariffs. Trump is already Appealing that Ruling to the Supreme Court, and has said it would be a "Disaster" if it's Not Overturned. The High Court has Granted the Trump Administration’s Emergency requests in 17 of 22 Cases to date.
The Flurry of Appeals comes as Trump has issued an Unprecedented Number of Executive Orders aimed at Transforming the Federal Government. “The courts aren’t going to strike down all that they’re doing, and, at the end of the day, they’ll end up accomplishing more by flooding the zone,” a Lawyer who is Close to the White House said in May, in Reference to the Administration's Strategy.
"Here’s the reality: with almost 20 Supreme Court victories, the Trump Administration’s policies have been consistently upheld by the Supreme Court as lawful despite an unprecedented number of legal challenges and unlawful lower court rulings. And the winning will continue,” She said.
The Newest Fight, is Trump's Tariff Fight to the Supreme Court, handed down on Aug. 29th, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found Trump had Exceeded His Authority, when He imposed Tariffs using an Emergency Powers Statute. “Tariffs are a core Congressional power,” it said, Upholding a Lower Court's Finding that Trump's Orders are “invalid as contrary to law.”
The Ruling affects Two Sets of Tariffs Trump has sought to Impose, but Not others Imposed under other Laws. The Tariffs are still in Effect, and will remain in place until at least Oct. 14th to give the Government time for further Appeals.
The Administration asked the Supreme Court to Hear the Case in an Emergency Filing on Wednesday. “Swift review of that decision is necessary to avoid derailing critical ongoing negotiations with our foreign trading partners and threatening broader U.S. strategic interests internationally,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (R) wrote in a Declaration Supporting the Appeal.
