00:00This was a big decision, an amazing decision, one that we're very happy about.
00:06This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution,
00:12the separation of powers, and the rule of law.
00:15In striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch,
00:23the Supreme Court has stopped the presidency itself.
00:26That's what they've done.
00:27And really, it's been an amazing period of time, this last hour.
00:36There are people elated all over the country.
00:38I've seen such happiness and spirit.
00:41Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important.
00:44I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges
00:51effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers.
01:01It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly.
01:04And instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.
01:11In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States,
01:22he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.
01:30This was a colossal abuse of power, which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades.
01:38And we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.
01:45Think of it more than the entire 20th century.
01:48Me.
01:48I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem.
01:57And they've made it very simple.
01:59I want to thank Justice Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas.
02:09Great people.
