President Donald Trump celebrated after the Supreme Court moved to block lower courts from issuing universal injunctions, something that had impacted his executive orders.
The president held a news conference just over an hour after the ruling was issued and said the Supreme Court had stopped a "colossal abuse of power."
"I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively 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," Trump said on Friday.
Because of the ruling, the Department of Justice will "promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis," Trump said.
Trump also accused lower court judges of trying to "dictate the law for the entire nation" rather than ruling on the cases before them.
On Friday, Supreme Court justices ruled 6-3 to allow the lower courts to issue injunctions only in limited instances, though the ruling leaves open the question of how the ruling will apply to the birthright citizenship order at the heart of the case.
The Supreme Court agreed this year to take up a trio of consolidated cases involving so-called universal injunctions handed down by federal district judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state. Judges in those districts had blocked Trump's ban on birthright citizenship from taking force nationwide – which the Trump administration argued in their appeal to the Supreme Court was overly broad.
The Supreme Court's arguments in May focused little on the merits of those universal injunctions – and on Friday, the court made clear that it is not ruling on whether the birthright citizenship orders are constitutional.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
FULL STOP!
Thank You, GOD, for yet another fantastic answer to prayer.
Should not have required a ruling, a properly working government would not have stood for the errant rantings that emanated from faux judges appointed by faux politicians. Fake news and minority opinion propagated propaganda
Fix 2020, erase erase erase, then work both ways.
