Emboldened by Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the president said his administration will flex its authority on issues ranging from immigration to higher education.

An emboldened Trump administration plans to aggressively challenge blocks on the president’s top priorities, a White House official said, following a major Supreme Court ruling that limits the power of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions.

Government attorneys will press judges to pare back the dozens of sweeping rulings thwarting the president’s agenda “as soon as possible,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations.

Priorities for the administration include injunctions related to the Education Department and the Department of Government Efficiency, as well as an order halting the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the official said.

“Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis,” President Donald Trump said Friday at a news conference in which he thanked by name members of the conservative high court majority he helped build.

Trump on Friday cast the narrowing of judicial power as a consequential, needed correction in his battle with a court system that has restrained his authority.

Scholars and plaintiffs in the lawsuits over Trump’s orders agreed that the high court ruling could profoundly reshape legal battles over executive power that have defined Trump’s second term — even as other legal experts said the effects would be more muted. Some predicted it would embolden Trump to push his expansive view of presidential power.

Mr. Bezos, I know you are busy with your honeymoon, but didn’t you promise that you would get rid of this biased “journalism” at the Washington Post? “Emboldened,” “flex,” “move aggressively.” Really.

The people calling Trump a sellout because he wouldn't ignore the injunctions have egg on their faces. Had he done that they would have been able to mire things up completely. Now they're done.

Dear President Trump,

Now that you know it can’t be undone by rogue judges,
please reinstate the second amendment for all Americans, and prosecute those who try to infringe it.
Thank you.

A good week for domestic MAGA. Congress needs to start codifying.

I've been reading on various sites that Boasberg, the walking dildo who got the whole pustulant ball rolling in the first place, has had the unmitigated gall to issue an injunction against SCOTUS in retaliation for their ruling that district judges can't issue "nationwide injunctions". All I can think is, "Sure this must be from the Bee . . .".

Wow.
How to categorize that.
I think, “Wailing Filled Huggies Tantrum Injunction,” works.

Make up your own, free of charge.

What about suspending posse comitatus for illegals?

Otherwise, we’re cooked.
