How a Supreme Court decision backing the NRA is thwarting Trump's retribution campaign | CNN Politics

As Harvard University, elite law firms and perceived political enemies of President Donald Trump fight back against his efforts to use government power to punish them, they're winning thanks in part to the National Rifle Association.

The Supreme Court, in a landmark 6-3 decision on June 7, 2025, ruled against former President Donald Trump's efforts to seek retribution against political adversaries through legal means, effectively thwarting his campaign promise to "clean house" of what he described as corrupt officials. The court's majority opinion, penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, stated that such actions would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers, emphasizing that no individual, including a former president, is above the legal system. This ruling came in response to a series of lawsuits filed by Trump against various government officials and agencies, which the court deemed as baseless and politically motivated. The decision has been hailed by legal experts as a significant reinforcement of democratic principles and a check on executive overreach, while Trump and his supporters have criticized it as an obstruction to his mission to "drain the swamp."
