In the recent ruling of Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court's conservative majority has limited judges' authority to issue universal injunctions, which protect broader groups beyond named plaintiffs. This decision delays crucial questions about President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and undermines the judiciary's power to address systemic injustices. The majority’s justification ties back to a narrow interpretation of historical equity, but ignores how courts have previously adapted to protect rights against significant harms affecting large communities.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. CASA effectively limits the judicial system's capacity to issue universal injunctions, narrowing legal protections against executive overreach.
