July 1, 2026 at 6:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Chief Justice John Roberts’ closing opinion of the Supreme Court term effectively slammed the door shut on President Donald Trump’s bid to redefine American citizenship by executive order,” ABC News reports.

“But the anticipated setback for the president belied a series of rulings by the court’s conservative majority this term that significantly enhanced his power.”

Reuters: Despite some big losses, Supreme Court rewards Trump’s power play.
