Supreme Court Justices Barrett and Roberts Challenge Trump Administration Policies

Two conservative justices appointed by Trump have joined liberal colleagues in key rulings limiting presidential power and budget measures.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with liberal justices to block Trump's attempt to freeze $2 billion in foreign aid.
  • The decision marks the second time this year the Supreme Court has limited Trump's executive authority, following a prior refusal to immediately allow the firing of the special counsel.
  • Barrett and Roberts have faced backlash from conservative circles, with critics accusing them of undermining the president's agenda.
  • The rulings highlight a cautious approach by the court's conservative majority in cases involving sweeping expansions of presidential power.
  • Trump's broader agenda, including aggressive immigration reforms and economic measures, faces increasing challenges in both public opinion and institutional checks.
