Trump runs up Supreme Court winning streak, amassing more power

The US Supreme Court’s just-completed term had a clear winner: President Donald Trump.

With a 6-3 ruling Friday restricting the power of judges to issue nationwide blocks on presidential initiatives, the court put an exclamation mark on a term dominated by Trump victories. The court’s conservative supermajority sided with Trump on both broad legal questions and an unprecedented barrage of emergency requests to let his policies take effect right away.

The end result was a stack of decisions deferring to Trump.
