00:19months we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers

00:26of the president to stop the american people from getting the policies that they voted for

00:31in record numbers it was a grave threat to democracy frankly and instead of merely ruling on the

00:38immediate cases before them these judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire

00:44nation in practice this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the

00:50policy of a duly elected president of the united states he or she could block that policy from

00:57going into effect or at least delay it for many years tied up in the court system this was a colossal

01:04abuse of power which never occurred in american history prior to recent decades and we've been

01:10hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together think of it more

01:17than the entire 20th century me i'm grateful to the supreme court for stepping in and solving this very

01:26very big and complex problem and they've made it very simple i want to thank justice barrett who wrote the

02:03meant for the babies of slaves it wasn't meant for people trying to scam the system and come into the

02:08country on a vacation this was in fact it was the same date the exact same date the end of the civil

02:15war it was meant for the babies of slaves and it's so clean and so obvious but this lets us go there

02:20and finally win that case because hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into our country

02:26under birthright citizenship and it wasn't meant for that reason it was meant for the babies of slaves

02:32so thanks to this decision we can now properly file to proceed with these numerous policies and

02:39those that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis including birthright citizenship ending sanctuary
