Summary

Trump has intensified his opposition to nationwide injunctions, calling for Congress and the Supreme Court to limit district courts’ power to block federal policies nationwide.

These injunctions have repeatedly halted Trump’s second-term initiatives, including attempts to end birthright citizenship and deport migrants under a 1789 law.

Trump’s administration argues that these orders undermine executive authority and seeks permanent relief to restrict their use.

The Supreme Court has expressed concerns but has not yet ruled on the issue.

    This could be a good thing. Trump doesn’t realize he is stripping the ability of the 5th circuit to be assholes at scale.

      Oh that would still apply. It’s the application of law that defines the new American caste system.
