Senate Minority Leader and Democrat New York Sen. Charles Schumer had an unhinged meltdown after the Supreme Court ruled to limit the power of district court judges on issuing nationwide injunctions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s 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,\u201d he\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in a post on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy weakening the power of district courts to check the presidency, the Court is not defending the Constitution\u2014it\u2019s defacing it,\u201d the senator said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ruling hands Donald Trump yet another green light in his crusade to unravel the foundations of American democracy,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But here is the rub.<\/p>\n

Just hours before that post, the Senate minority leader, who was once ridiculed for pretending to barbecue on a cold grill, praised the very same Supreme Court that he called an \u201cextremist MAGA court\u201d hours later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s decision today upholds the Affordable Care Act\u2019s promise\u2014that access to basic care should never depend on your income, your employer, or your ZIP code,\u201d the senator\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom cancer screenings to essential HIV prevention medication, investing in no-cost preventive care reduces long-term costs and saves lives,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenate Democrats will keep fighting to strengthen and expand health care protections for American families,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Same senator, same platform, same court, hours apart.<\/p>\n

But his hypocrisy goes further as, one day before those two posts, he was, again, an enemy of the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s latest decision endangers women\u2019s health care even further,\u201d the senator\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cFor many, Planned Parenthood is their only option for affordable health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to health care is a basic right\u2014no matter what the MAGA court thinks. @SenateDems will keep fighting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump scored a big win in the Birthright Citizenship Case on Friday. Not on the merits, but on whether a universal injunction is permitted. This is hugely significant in every case with universal injunctions.<\/p>\n

Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland explained what this means: \u201cUS Supreme Court allows Trump\u2019s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country for now by curtailing federal judges\u2019 ability to block the president\u2019s policies nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u00a0heard<\/a>\u00a0oral arguments in the case in May after three lower federal courts issued nationwide injunctions against the order\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n

In an executive order signed on Inauguration Day, Trump declared that the 14th Amendment provision granting U.S. citizenship to children born on American soil applies only to those with at least one parent who is a citizen or permanent resident.<\/p>\n

If it were to be implemented, Trump\u2019s policy would deny citizenship at birth to an estimated 255,000 babies born annually in the U.S. to illegal immigrants or temporary visa holders, according to the Migration Policy Institute.<\/p>\n

Under the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, \u201call persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.\u201d For over a century, this text has been interpreted to grant citizenship at birth to all individuals except for children of foreign diplomats, the WSJ reported.<\/p>\n

But proponents of Trump\u2019s order argued that the historical context of the amendment was to grant citizenship to the children of former slaves and that the provision has since been abused by illegal migrants who exploit it to gain a foothold in the U.S. by having a child on American soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
