Episode notes
Unconstitutional Nationwide Injunctions
- Nationwide injunctions by federal district courts lack constitutional and historical basis.
- Justice Jackson supports these injunctions to force quick Supreme Court review, centralizing judicial power unconstitutionally.
Universal Injunctions Are Recent
- Universal injunctions only appeared since the 1960s, mainly with Ninth Circuit's environmental cases.
- Before that, courts limited injunctions to parties involved, maintaining localized judicial authority.
Executive Branch Resists Some Court Orders
- The executive branch sometimes chooses not to follow circuit court precedents if they seek overruling.
- This can create conflicts between executive decisions and judicial rulings affecting national security and military matters.
