Jarrett argued that many major cases reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where he says the administration prevailed in roughly 90% of disputes adn has amassed about 21 wins, and that court decisions have ended nationwide injunctions and limited district court interference. Those rulings, he said, cleared the way for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >actions including tighter immigration enforcement<\/a> (renewed third-country removals, ending certain parole programs and termination of Temporary protected Status for Venezuelans), restrictions on transgender-related policies (passport and military rules), the end of DEI funding, removal of Democratic appointees from self-reliant boards, and greater ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-pushes-cases-to-supreme-court-amid-legal-battles\/\" title=\"... pushes cases to ... amid legal battles\">fire agency employees<\/a>.

Appearing on &ldquo;The Evening Edit,&rdquo; Jarrett <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2025\/12\/31\/gregg-jarrett-democrats-suing-trump-backfired\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Democrats&rsquo; court losses didn&rsquo;t merely remove legal roadblocks to Trump&rsquo;s policies but instead produced rulings that expanded presidential authority.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a smorgasbord of stupid. But the biggest was that Democrats sued Trump over everything, and it boomeranged against them big time. Yeah, they had some early wins, but when they ultimately lost in the higher courts, the rulings had the unintended effect of vastly expanding Trump&rsquo;s presidential powers,&rdquo; Jarrett told host Elizabeth MacDonald. &ldquo;Every time he did anything, Democrats and their allies sued, more than 530 times in 11 months, which is pretty shocking. And the major cases, of course, went to the U.S. Supreme Court where Trump won an astounding 90% of the time.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Jarrett said that Democrats&rsquo; relentless courtroom assaults on Trump didn&rsquo;t just fail but fundamentally reshaped the balance of power in Trump&rsquo;s favor.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;His biggest victory was ending the nationwide injunctions that had tried to block his policies. That&rsquo;s all gone now. They&rsquo;ve neutered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-who-led-attack-on-robert-bork-confirming-judges-at-a-rate-not-seen-in-over-50-years\/\" title=\"Biden, Who Led Attack On Robert Bork, Confirming Judges At A Rate Not Seen In Over 50 Years\">district court judges<\/a>. But Trump also netted big wins on amnesty, transgender issues, third country removals, immigration enforcement, ending DEI funding,&rdquo; Jarrett said. &ldquo;And he&rsquo;s poised to win the right to fire people at executive agencies. So in all, he&rsquo;s actually racked up 21 Supreme Court wins, according to my count. And poised to win more, all of it thanks to Democrats who mistakenly challenged his authority, and they lost.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration is closing out the year with an impressive Supreme Court track record.
