Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the landmark decision.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-3 w-full flex justify-center items-center\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-lg leading-relaxed text-justify\">The majority opinion emphasizes that courts lack the constitutional authority to create new causes of action for foreign norms. Lawmaking and foreign policy remain strictly within congressional hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-lg leading-relaxed text-justify\">This ruling deals a significant blow to expansive judge-made lawsuits that previously threatened U.S. enterprises operating globally. It deters aggressive forum-shopping by overseas claimants against domestic technology leaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-lg leading-relaxed text-justify\">Legal experts note the decision restores proper separation of powers. It ensures judges focus on enforcing enacted laws rather than conducting foreign relations through private litigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court blocks private lawsuits against U.S. firms under international law, delivering a major win for businesses and constitutional limits.
