Episode notes
Curtailing Universal Injunctions
- The Supreme Court ruled against the use of universal injunctions to block presidential initiatives nationwide.
- Injunctions can now only block executive orders for actual plaintiffs in a case, limiting judicial overreach.
Universal Injunctions Are New
- Universal injunctions are a recent and novel judicial creation largely expanded during the Trump presidency.
- They reflect political interference rather than true judicial authority based on historical law.
Executive Orders Gain Traction
- The ruling allows executive orders to take effect during litigation, preventing activist judges from immediately blocking policies.
- This change enables the Trump administration to implement agendas without constant legal delays.
