Episode notes
Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions

- This complicates cases like birthright citizenship, forcing individuals to sue separately to establish rights.

- Both political parties disapprove nationwide injunctions, but timing and context affect their use.
- Birthright citizenship feels like a valid case for a nationwide injunction due to constitutional implications.

- The ruling allows unconstitutional policies to remain in effect until individual lawsuits succeed.
- This causes confusion and risks piecemeal legal protection across states.
