Limits on Universal Injunctions
- The Supreme Court ruled a single federal judge cannot issue universal injunctions blocking government policies nationwide.
- This reaffirms courts must resolve disputes only between parties before them, not make broad policy.
Deep Divide on Judicial Power
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent calls the ruling an existential threat to the rule of law.
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett responded sharply that an imperial executive doesn't justify an imperial judiciary.
