This is a Fox News alert. Supreme Court limits federal judges' power over presidents. I'm Chris Foster. President Trump calls it a big win and holds a press conference at the White House in about a half hour. The court at a 6-3 opinion says lower court judges went too far with nationwide injunctions blocking President Trump's order ending birthright citizenship.
There's nothing in the ruling about the legality of birthright citizenship itself, but it allows the order to go into effect in some parts of the country in 30 days, allowing time for other challenges. It's written by Justice Barrett. And essentially what she says, she says some say that the universal injunctions give the judiciary a powerful tool to check the executive branch. But she says federal courts...
courts do not exercise general oversight of the executive branch. They resolve cases and controversies consistent with the authority Congress has given to them. When a court concludes the executive branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power. They are limiting these injunctions.

A man charged with murdering a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband is due in federal court next hour. Vance Belter faces half a dozen federal charges, including multiple counts of murder and stalking in the deaths of Democratic Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Belter faces state charges, including first-degree murder. He is also accused of shooting State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, at their home. Both are recovering.
His court appearance comes on the same day that the Hortmans, as well as their golden retriever Gilbert, whom police say Belter also shot, lie in state at the Minnesota State Capitol, making the late Speaker Emerita the first woman and one of fewer than 20 Minnesotans to be given the honor.

The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is endorsing this fall's flu shots, but only if they're free of thimerosal, a long-used preservative that contains mercury and had been suspected to cause autism in children, a theory not yet proved.
This is the decision of the panel with new members appointed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who has made vaccine policy and vaccine safety a key issue. The committee only provides recommendations and is not a creator of policy. The U.S. Senate has yet to confirm President Trump's nominee to lead the CDC.
