Supreme Court Curbs Judges in Birthright Case as Trump Touts Win

A sharply divided US Supreme Court limited the power of judges to block government policies nationwide but left unresolved a fight over President Donald Trump’s restrictions on automatic birthright citizenship.

The 6-3 ruling Friday said Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship at a minimum won’t take effect for 30 days. The justices returned three cases to the lower courts to consider whether to keep the rules on hold for longer — at least in part of the country if not the whole nation.
