WASHINGTON DC: The US Supreme Court judge who authored the just-released majority decision effectively insulating President Donald Trump’s executive orders from being blocked by lower federal courts has defended the legal arguments and principles she cited in her reasoning.

The 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court (below) strikes down the power of federal judges to impose nationwide legal blocks on executive orders signed by President Trump.

But the minority opinion by the three dissenting Supreme Court justices noted that the judges in the majority had ignored the blatantly unconstitutional nature of the executive order on birthright citizenship that had sparked the Trump administration’s appeal.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the majority decision, responded to both the minority’s opinion and public criticism in a rare news conference in her Supreme Court office. (main picture)

Justice Barrett cited several obscure legal principles she had used to justify the original majority ruling.

“In their minority opinion my colleagues appear to be unaware of the principle makus Americae magna again,” she told reporters.

“They also all did not give any weight to the longstanding principle that US Presidents making decisions as stabulum genii are entitled to free rein to implement any and all of their policies.

“This is encapsulated in principles known as Gulfus of Americae and also mortem to hokus-wokus,” she said.

When quizzed on just how “longstanding” the principles she cited were, Justice Barrett replied: “Since about 20 January this year.”

She then called an end to the news conference while advising all attending reporters, photographers, and camera operators that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers would be conducting citizenship checks and internal body searches on them before they would be allowed to leave the Supreme Court building.

“That’s if any of you are allowed to leave at all,” she said.

“Some of you may well be detained indefinitely and deported under the legal dictum of fakus newsus,” she warned.
