00:00This morning the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the

00:04Constitution, the separation of powers, and the rule of law. In striking down the

00:10excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal

00:14functioning of the executive branch, the Supreme Court has stopped the

00:18presidency itself. That's what they've done. And really it's been it's been an

00:26amazing period of time this last hour. There are people elated all over the

00:31country. I've seen such such happiness and spirit. Sometimes you don't see that

00:35but this case is very important. I was elected on a historic mandate but in

00:41recent months we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to

00:45overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people

00:50from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers. It was a grave

00:55threat to democracy frankly and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases

01:00before them these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.

01:06In practice this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed

01:11with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States he or she

01:16could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years

01:22tied up in the court system. This was a colossal abuse of power which never

01:27occurred in American history prior to recent decades and we've been hit with

01:32more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.

01:38Think of it more than the entire 20th century. Me. I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for

01:45stepping in and solving this very very big and complex problem and they've made it

01:51very simple. I want to thank Justice Barrett who wrote the opinion brilliantly as

01:56well as Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas.

02:02Great people. Thanks for this decision and thanks to this decision we can now

02:10promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined

02:14on a nationwide basis and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending

02:21birthright citizenship which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of

02:26slaves. It wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the

02:29country on a vacation. This was in fact it was the same date the exact same date the

02:35end of the Civil War. It was meant for the babies of slaves and it's so clean and so

02:39obvious but this lets us go there and finally win that case because hundreds of

02:44thousands of people are pouring into our country under birthright citizenship and

02:49it wasn't meant for that reason.
