当地时间周二，一位由奥巴马任命的联邦法官否决了唐纳德·特朗普总统多项关键的选举诚信行政令，白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒就此对司法系统的走向发出了严厉警告。
美国地区法官丹尼斯·J·卡斯珀裁定，特朗普2025年3月25日发布的题为《维护和保护美国选举诚信》的行政令中的主要条款超出了总统权限，违反了宪法规定的三权分立原则。卡斯珀认定，该行政令不仅超出了执行现有法律的范畴，反而试图自行制定或修改选举规则。
“虽然宪法赋予总统‘行政权’，并要求其‘确保法律得到忠实执行’……但并未授予总统任何与选举相关的具体权力，”卡斯珀在裁决书中写道。“因此，总统‘在选举人任命流程中不发挥直接作用’，‘也无权控制负责此项工作的州官员’。”
作为回应，米勒在社交媒体上发文称，他希望最高法院首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨“能够理解这些 rogue 法官为司法系统划定的道路”。

作为联邦司法系统的机构负责人，首席大法官虽然不对下级法院法官行使直接管辖权，但米勒提及罗伯茨的言论，呼应了保守派更广泛的批评：最高法院在遏制下级法院裁决阻碍特朗普政府政策方面行动不够积极。
卡斯珀此前曾在诉讼审理期间发布初步禁令，阻止该行政令的关键条款生效。经过一年多的诉讼，这位法官周二在很大程度上支持了提起诉讼的各州。
此次诉讼由19个州提起，质疑该行政令的合法性，案件在马萨诸塞州地区美国地区法院审理。
加州总检察长罗布·邦塔是该案的主要原告之一，他称这一裁决是各州的胜利。
“我们起诉特朗普总统，因为他试图在全国范围内单方面实施投票限制——我们赢了，”邦塔说。“今天，联邦地区法院裁定我们在行政令中质疑的所有条款均属非法，并重申规范选举的权力保留给各州和国会。”
卡斯珀的裁决永久性地阻止了政府实施以下条款：要求联邦选民登记表附带公民身份证明文件、修改军人和海外选民的投票要求，以及威胁拒绝采纳某些选举规则的州扣留联邦选举相关资金，包括不计算选举日之后收到的选票。
卡斯珀宣布，该行政令的部分条款“违宪且无效，因为它们超越职权范围，违反了美国宪法规定的三权分立原则”。
除了认定该行政令违反宪法外，卡斯珀还得出结论，特朗普行政令的关键条款与联邦法律相冲突，包括《全国选民登记法》和《现役军人和海外公民缺席投票法》。

特朗普于2025年3月25日签署该行政令，辩称有必要加强保障措施，以确保联邦选举的诚信和公众信心，并指称州官员未能遵守法院裁决和联邦法律。
白宫当时将该指令描述为恢复选举信任、加强选民公民身份核查的努力。
“根据宪法，各州政府必须在遵守联邦法律的前提下维护美国选举，这些法律保护美国人的投票权，防止非法投票、歧视、欺诈及其他形式的渎职和失误削弱投票权，”该行政令写道。“然而，美国尚未充分执行联邦选举要求，例如禁止各州计算选举日之后收到的选票，或禁止非公民登记投票。”
卡斯珀是第二位对特朗普的行政令作出不利裁决的法官。

2025年4月，美国地区法官科琳·科拉尔-科特利驳回了该行政令中要求联邦官员在联邦选民登记表中增加公民身份证明要求的部分条款，认定宪法规定规范联邦选举的权力属于国会和各州，而非总统。卡斯珀的裁决范围更广，还否决了与投票截止日期、军人和海外选民以及联邦资金相关的多项额外条款。
卡斯珀作出裁决之际，共和党议员仍在推动《拯救法案》，该法案要求在联邦选举中登记投票时提供公民身份证明文件。众议院今年早些时候通过了该法案的一项版本，但该提案在参议院的前景不明朗。
特朗普继续推动《拯救法案》，将其列为核心优先事项，并辩称参议院共和党人应愿意废除阻挠议事规则，以确保该法案能提交他签署。

目前仅剩的争议点在于联邦政府能否为部分州的选举相关资金附加条件。法官要求各方在7月10日前就是否继续就这一主张提起诉讼作出决定。

‘Rogue’ Obama judge’s smackdown of Trump election rules provokes ominous warning from White House deputy
June 24, 2026 5:53pm EDT / Fox News
Judge Denise Casper ruled the president has no direct constitutional authority over the election process
By Elaine Mallon
President Donald Trump arrived on Capitol Hill to meet with GOP senators, criticizing the rise of socialist candidates within the Democratic Party. Trump directly labeled some as “communists” and discussed the importance of passing the Save America Act. The meeting also addressed ongoing concerns about the Iran nuclear deal and its impact on the nation.

An Obama-appointed federal judge on Tuesday struck down key parts of President Donald Trump’s election integrity executive order, prompting a stark warning from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about the judiciary’s course.
U.S. District Judge Denise J. Casper ruled that major sections of Trump’s March 25, 2025, executive order, titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” exceeded presidential authority and violated the Constitution’s separation of powers. Casper found that the order went beyond enforcing existing law and instead attempted to create or change election rules on its own.
“While the Constitution vests the President with ‘executive Power’ and commands him to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’… it does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” Casper wrote in the ruling. “As a result, the President ‘plays no direct role in the process’ of appointing electors, ‘nor does he have authority to control the state officials who do.’”
In response, Miller posted on social media that he hoped Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts “understands the path these rogue judges have charted for the judiciary.”

The chief justice serves as the institutional head of the federal judiciary, and while he does not exercise direct authority over lower-court judges, Miller’s reference to Roberts echoed broader conservative criticism that the Supreme Court has not moved aggressively enough to curb lower-court rulings blocking Trump administration policies.
Casper previously issued a preliminary injunction blocking key provisions of the order while the lawsuit played out in court. After more than a year of litigation, the judge on Tuesday largely sided with the plaintiff states.
The lawsuit was brought by 19 states challenging the order and was heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, one of the lead plaintiffs in the case, hailed the ruling as a victory for the states.
“We sued President Trump over his attempt to unilaterally impose voting restrictions across the country — and we won,” Bonta said. “Today, a federal district court ruled that every provision we challenged in the Executive Order is unlawful and reaffirmed that the power to regulate elections is reserved to the States and Congress.”
Casper’s ruling permanently blocks the administration from implementing provisions that would have required documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form, altered voting requirements for military and overseas voters, and threatened to withhold federal election-related funding from states that refused to adopt certain election rules, including not counting ballots received after Election Day.
Casper declared that sections of the order were “unconstitutional and void because they are ultra vires and violate the separation of powers under the United States Constitution.”
In addition to finding that the executive order violated the Constitution, Casper also concluded that key provisions of Trump’s order conflicted with federal statutes, including the National Voter Registration Act and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

Trump signed the order on March 25, 2025, arguing that stronger safeguards were necessary to ensure election integrity and public confidence in federal elections, alleging that state officials have failed to comply with court rulings and federal law.
The White House at the time described the directive as an effort to restore trust in elections and strengthen voter citizenship verification.
“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error,” the executive order stated. “Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote.”
Casper is the second judge to rule against Trump’s executive order.
GOP GOVERNORS, AGS BACK TRUMP SAVE ACT PUSH, WARN SYSTEM GIVES ‘UNDUE INFLUENCE’ TO STATES WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS

In April 2025, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked portions of the order that directed federal officials to add proof-of-citizenship requirements to federal voter registration forms, concluding that the Constitution gives Congress and the states the authority to regulate federal elections — not the president. Casper’s ruling went further, striking down multiple additional provisions related to ballot deadlines, military and overseas voters, and federal funding.
Casper’s ruling comes as Republican lawmakers continue pushing the SAVE Act, legislation that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The House passed a version of the measure earlier this year, but the proposal faces an uncertain path in the Senate.
Trump has continued to push for the SAVE Act, elevating it as a key priority and arguing that Senate Republicans should be willing to eliminate the filibuster to ensure the legislation reaches his desk.

The only issue left concerns whether the federal government can attach conditions to election-related funding for certain states. The judge gave the parties until July 10 to decide whether to continue litigating that claim.
