Attorney General Wilson declares victory after SCOTUS smacks down activist judges’ overreach halting Trump agenda

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson today praised the U.S. Supreme Court for its' 6-3 ruling in favor of the constitutional balance of power by curbing the ability of local activist judges to block federal laws nationwide. The ruling allows President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order to be enforced nationwide while the issue makes its way through the lower courts. Attorney General Wilson joined an amicus brief in this case supporting the position that SCOTUS adopted. 

“We thank the Supreme Court for siding with common sense and reaffirming that one judge should not have the power to grind national immigration policy to a halt,” said Attorney General Wilson. “This is a big win for the rule of law, for the integrity of our borders, and for every American who believes in democratic accountability, not judicial activism. Our office will continue fighting to ensure that federal laws are enforced as written, not sabotaged by ideologically driven rulings from the bench.”
