Remember this date ! It marks the disappearance of a judicial counterweight to presidential power : Supreme Court limits federal judges’ ability to stop executive orders. Only the applicants will be affected by the judgment, and the executive order will continue to enforce its effects to all others. Until now, a summons of cancelation annulled the order for everyone, well beyond the applicant alone. Now the government will be authorize to continue nationwide an activity that a federal court could rule unconstitutional.
The judiciary power, of which the Supeme Court is the highest authority, pledges allegiance to the executive branch. Vaseline ? The American constitutional system of checks and balances is deeply broken, and no one knows where it will end up. Into the trashbox ?
