This morning, the Supreme Court has delivered a monumental victory for the Constitution,

the separation of powers, and the rule of law.

In striking down the excessive use of nationwide injunctions to interfere with the normal functioning of the executive branch,

And really, it's been an amazing period of time this last hour.

There are people elated all over the country.

I've seen such happiness and spirit.

Sometimes you don't see that, but this case is very important. 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.

It was a grave threat to democracy, frankly, and instead of merely ruling on the immediate

cases before them, these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.

In 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, he or she could block that policy from

going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tied up in the court system.

This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history

prior to recent decades. And we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued

in the entire 20th century together. Think of it more than the entire 20th century, me.

I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this

very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple. I want to thank Justice

Barrett, who wrote the opinion brilliantly as well as Chief Justice Roberts, and Justice
