On Friday, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) touted the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to limit judges’ ability to block President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order, which declared that the children of parents who enter the United States illegally or on a temporary visa are not entitled to automatic citizenship.
The justices voted along ideological lines in favor of the Trump administration, ruling that judges can typically only provide relief to the individuals or groups involved in a specific lawsuit. The ruling stated that judges cannot extend these decisions to protect others without formally converting the lawsuit into a class action, which involves meeting specific procedural requirements.
During an interview with Mobile radio FMTalk 106.5's "The Jeff Poor Show," Tuberville commended the Court for its ruling and told "radical judges" attempting to use lawfare on Trump to "get the hell out of the way."
"I tell you what. These radical judges — and to top it off, there was a judge that [Chuck] Schumer got confirmed in the middle of December, right before we left for Christmas, after Biden had lost, and this judge has caused more havoc, the one who had only been there for a month before Trump, this being one of them, and this is the reason you cannot allow judges on either side to put injunctions on the President of the United States," Tuberville told host Jeff Poor. "It has to go through Congress, but they feel like they've got the power now because they were appointed. Hey, you weren't elected. You were appointed."
"Get the hell out of the way, and let this country run the way it's supposed to run by the Constitution. But thank goodness for the Supreme Court for helping on this," he concluded.
Alabama's senior U.S. Senator wrote of the decision on X, "GOOD. Woke judges have NO RIGHT to overturn the WILL OF THE PEOPLE who elected President Donald J. Trump!"
