Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) delivered yet another unhinged tirade against the U.S. Supreme Court after it issued a landmark decision limiting the power of district court judges to impose nationwide injunctions — a judicial tool long abused by liberal activists to kneecap conservative presidents, especially President Donald J. Trump.

Rather than respect the Court’s constitutional reasoning, Schumer resorted to the same tired script Democrats have used since President Trump began appointing constitutionalist judges.

“The Supreme Court’s decision to limit courts of their long-held authority to block illegal executive actions is an unprecedented and terrifying step toward authoritarianism, a grave danger to our democracy, and a predictable move from this extremist MAGA court,” Schumer ranted on X.

He didn’t stop there:

“By weakening the power of district courts to check the presidency, the Court is not defending the Constitution—it’s defacing it.”

“This ruling hands Donald Trump yet another green light in his crusade to unravel the foundations of American democracy.”

“His plan to end birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional, but instead of stopping it in its tracks, the Court has instead ducked the question and bowed to an out-of-control Executive Branch.”

What Schumer calls “out-of-control” is in fact a long-overdue judicial correction.

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that federal district judges cannot issue sweeping nationwide injunctions unless narrowly tied to the parties involved. The ruling allows President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship to go into effect — at least in parts of the country — while legal challenges continue.

As Margot Cleveland, senior legal correspondent, explained:

“US Supreme Court allows Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country for now by curtailing federal judges’ ability to block the president’s policies nationwide.”

The case stems from multiple lower courts attempting to block Trump’s Inauguration Day order that redefines birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Trump’s directive clarifies that U.S. citizenship should apply only to babies born on American soil whose parents are citizens or lawful permanent residents.

The Migration Policy Institute estimates that the policy would impact 255,000 babies born annually to illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders — a major win for those seeking to restore rule of law and the original intent of the Constitution.

Critics of automatic birthright citizenship argue that the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, was never meant to be a blanket citizenship program for foreign nationals. Its framers intended to secure legal status for freed slaves, not serve as a loophole for foreign nationals seeking to exploit the U.S. welfare and immigration system.

And yet, Schumer called this restoration of constitutional clarity “authoritarian.” But what he calls “authoritarian” is in reality a check on judicial activism, ensuring that one unelected judge in San Francisco can no longer dictate national policy from the bench.

Even more glaring, just hours before attacking the Court for this ruling, Schumer praised the very same justices for upholding a component of the Affordable Care Act:

“The Supreme Court’s decision today upholds the Affordable Care Act’s promise—that access to basic care should never depend on your income, your employer, or your ZIP code.”

Schumer flip-flopped again the day before, blasting the Court over another unrelated decision:

“The Supreme Court’s latest decision endangers women’s health care even further,” he posted. “Access to health care is a basic right—no matter what the MAGA court thinks.”

In less than 48 hours, Schumer went from celebrating the Court’s legitimacy to accusing it of defacing the Constitution, depending entirely on whether or not the ruling fit his party’s narrative. This is not principled governance — it’s emotional political theater.

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to rack up victories by restoring constitutional order, ending judicial overreach, and putting America First.
