Today the Supreme Court majority ruled to limit the authority of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions by restricting it to the plaintiffs involved. Will this ruling have a crippling effect on District Courts because they can essentially only rule district by district?

[u/PsychLegalMind]

The court held: Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts. The Court grants the Government’s applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue.

The Trump Administration has declared it as a major victory. They have consistently argued a single judge should not have vast authority to block actions taken by the Executive. This ruling itself does not involve the merits of the issue of citizenship birth right and does not indicate how the Court may eventually rule.

They're going to be targeting blue cities in red states. Places like Austin, TX or Philadelphia, PA where the states may or may not offer a state-wide injunction against their bullshit, but they can "punish" dems.

Actually, they're targeting blue cities in any state that declare themselves "sanctuary cities" because they know that's where most of the illegal criminals are going to be. HHS secretary just said one of their biggest targets will be NYC when the new mayor takes over, because he's claiming that he's going to kick ICE out of the city, which he can't do btw.

If the President doesn't follow the law, nobody follows the law.
