SCOTUS to America: "You Deal With Him"

Justices use birthright citizenship case to limit nationwide injunctions
2

On a new episode of the Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss:

– The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA limiting lower court judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions;

– The Justice Department’s lawsuit against all 15 of Maryland’s district court judges over a deportation order; and

– A whistleblower complaint accusing Emil Bove, a top Trump official and judicial nominee, of disregarding court orders.


A NOTE FROM THE PRODUCER

is a lawyer and Supervising Producer at Stay Tuned with Preet.

Can one district judge pause an allegedly unconstitutional federal policy from going into effect across the country? Or should that kind of nationwide relief be off the table entirely?

That was the issue at the heart of one of the most important and potentially far-reaching Supreme Court decisions this term. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court’s conservative bloc sharply curtailed the ability of federal district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions—orders that block government actions for the entire country, not just within one jurisdiction.

This dispute stems from a challenge to President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. However, as Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance explain on a new episode of the Insider podcast, this decision could have broad implications.

Joyce explains: “This is about an executive who is saying, ‘anything that I do by executive order should go into effect, whether it’s constitutional or not.’ No one should be able to go into court and press pause against even the most egregious violations of the Constitution committed by this President.”
