Here’s how Trump feels about Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
In a powerful response from the White House briefing room, President Donald Trump pushed back against critics targeting Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, following a landmark ruling on birthright citizenship.
A Surprise Shift from Barrett?
Some MAGA supporters had voiced frustration over Barrett’s recent rulings, but Friday’s decision changed the narrative.
“I’ve always had great respect for Justice Barrett,” Trump said. “Her opinion today was brilliantly written. A total win for the Constitution.”
Justice Barrett, who was nominated by President Trump in 2020, authored the majority opinion in a key case involving birthright citizenship. The ruling sided with the Trump administration, curbing the ability of lower court judges to issue sweeping, nationwide blocks on federal policies.
A Constitutional Victory for the Trump Agenda
President Trump celebrated the ruling, calling it:
“A monumental victory for the Constitution, the separation of powers, and for the American people.”
The Court affirmed that federal judges have overstepped their role by issuing nationwide injunctions—something both the Trump and Biden administrations opposed.
This outcome is seen as a significant step toward restoring executive authority, as intended by the Founders.
Barrett Pushes Back on Judicial Overreach
In her opinion, Justice Barrett fired back at left-wing Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent:
“Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”
Barrett’s message was clear: it’s time for the courts to respect the boundaries set by the Constitution.
Radical Left Reacts with Fury
Not surprisingly, the liberal establishment lashed out. Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the ruling:
“An open invitation for the government to bypass the Constitution.”
Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) claimed the Court “emboldens President Trump’s unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship,” echoing a now-familiar leftist narrative designed to stir fear.
But Trump was quick to respond:
“Radical left judges have tried to block the will of the voters. This decision puts power back where it belongs—with the people and the President they elected.”
What’s Next for Birthright Citizenship?
With the ruling now in place, Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship will take effect in areas not covered by prior lower court rulings—starting 30 days from the decision.
While liberal groups are preparing new legal challenges, the Supreme Court has made it clear: nationwide judicial activism must end.
Bottom Line
Justice Barrett’s opinion realigns her with constitutional conservatives, while President Trump’s leadership continues to secure major wins for the rule of law.
As the 2024 campaign heats up, this decision could serve as a major boost for Trump—reminding voters why the judiciary matters and why his re-election could reshape the courts for years to come.
