CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings delivered a forceful defense of the Supreme Court’s ruling that effectively ended the use of universal injunctions, calling it a major win for President Donald Trump and a blow to judicial overreach – and used a quote from liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan to prove the left’s hackery.

Speaking on CNN Saturday Morning Table for Five, Jennings applauded the 6�3 decision, which fell along ideological lines, as a long-overdue correction to the practice of allowing a single district court judge to block a president�s entire national agenda.

�Friday was a great day for Donald Trump,� Jennings told the panel, listing the court ruling alongside stock market gains and Middle East peace developments as evidence of a banner week for the president. �The court really clears the way for him to enact the agenda on which he ran.�

Jennings bolstered his argument by quoting none other than liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. �It just can�t be right that one District Judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks,� he recited, noting that Kagan had made the remark in 2022 under a Democratic administration � even though she voted against the Supreme Court’s new ruling.

�Just goes to show you that some of these folks really are hacks,� Jennings added, taking aim at what he saw as partisan flip-flopping on the bench.

Host Abby Phillip pushed back, noting that �the hackery is definitely bipartisan,� pointing out that Republican figures, including former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, had previously celebrated nationwide injunctions when they blocked progressive policies.

Still, Jennings stood firm, arguing the change was overdue. �It�s not right that one of these individual district court judges can act like a king or a monarch and stop the elected president from acting,� he said.

The ruling, which conservatives had long sought, will dramatically reshape how legal challenges to presidential authority play out in the lower courts � setting the stage for potentially faster, broader execution of executive orders by Trump as he pursues the policies of his second term.
