Despite marquee losses, Supreme Court term grows Trump’s presidential power
ONP Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 29-30 issued consequential rulings including a 6-3 decision rejecting President Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, with three conservative justices joining the majority against him. The court declined to hear Trump's appeal of the $5 million civil judgment against him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation and sexual abuse case. On federal agency leadership, the court barred Trump from removing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook but permitted his dismissal of Federal Trade Commission appointee Rebecca Slaughter, demonstrating both boundaries and extensions to executive removal powers.
Progressive: Progressive-leaning outlets emphasized Trump's major defeats, particularly framing the birthright citizenship ruling as a significant blow to his anti-immigration agenda and as a defense of fundamental American rights against his attempt to redefine citizenship.
Moderate: Centrist outlets presented a more balanced account of mixed outcomes, acknowledging both Trump's losses on birthright citizenship and his gains in expanded presidential authority over independent agencies.
