Supreme Court limits ability of judges to stop Trump

The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to the power of federal judges by restricting their ability to grant broad legal relief as the justices acted in a legal fight over President Donald Trump's bid to limit birthright citizenship. The nation's highest court ordered lower courts that blocked Trump's birthright policy to reconsider the scope of their orders. However, the court's 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not let Trump's policy go into effect immediately and did not address the policy's legality.
