The Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. CASA Inc. limits federal judges' authority to grant nationwide injunctions, a move criticized by dissenting Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson. This ruling, delivered by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, could impact the legal recourse available against executive orders, particularly those of President Trump. While nationwide injunctions are viewed by many as essential for plaintiffs challenged by government actions, critics label them as obstructive. The ruling has led to outcry from State Attorneys General and could shift how future cases are approached against executive policies.
Wrote Sotomayor, "[T]he Government is not even correct on the merits of universal injunctions. To the contrary, universal injunctions are consistent with long-established principles of equity, once respected by this Court."
The Supreme Court's ruling sharply limits the authority of federal judges to grant nationwide injunctions, which previously restrained executive actions beyond local jurisdictions.
