Episode notes
Supreme Court Limits Injunctions
- The Supreme Court's ruling limits nationwide injunctions, allowing the president’s executive actions to proceed temporarily.
- This undermines the judiciary's ability to quickly stop unconstitutional acts, threatening constitutional checks and balances.
Procedural Chaos Expected
- The decision creates a procedural mess leading to a flood of lawsuits challenging executive orders individually.
- It forces courts and states to deal with numerous fragmented cases rather than one nationwide injunction.
IDF Orders to Shoot Civilians
- Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have a policy of shooting unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid.
- This deliberate targeting of civilians is described by soldiers as "communication by gunfire," with no instances of return fire.
