Anne Deysine, US law expert: ‘We are experiencing the dawn of a lawless society’

In an interview, Anne Deysine, a US law specialist, explains that the US Supreme Court’s June 27 ruling would lead to institutional ‘chaos,’ as Trump is now able to keep changing US institutions and society through his executive orders, which are often illegal.

Interview by Pascal Riché, Published on July 1, 2025, at 3:00 am (Paris), 4 min read Lire en français

On Friday, June 27, the US Supreme Court limited the power of federal judges: They will no longer be able to suspend the application of executive orders through “universal injunctions.” The case concerned an executive order abolishing birthright citizenship, in violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

Many legal challenges had been brought against the executive order, not only by 22 states, but also by migrant advocacy groups and several pregnant mothers who sought to protect the rights of their unborn children.

Anne Deysine, a legal expert and American studies specialist, emeritus professor at the University of Nanterre, says in an interview that the US Supreme Court’s decision will lead to chaos and threaten civil liberties.

Is the Supreme Court’s decision a political one?

It is certainly political. If the Trump administration requested the Supreme Court intervene urgently, it was not because it was seeking to defend the legality of the executive order ending automatic citizenship for any child born on US soil, but to ask the court to suspend so-called “universal” injunctions issued by federal judges in lower courts and upheld on appeal. Yet when many executive orders issued by the Biden administration – such as those mandating vaccinations, for example – were also suspended using the same type of universal injunctions, the court did nothing.
