SCOTUS Says Federal Judges Cannot Implement Nationwide Injunctions

Before Democrats freak on this, they should remember that Republican federal judges could do this for Democrat presidents, and, do you really want that to happen?

Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, but fate of Trump birthright citizenship order unclear

A divided Supreme Court on Friday ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship.

The outcome was a victory for the Republican president, who has complained about individual judges throwing up obstacles to his agenda.

But a conservative majority left open the possibility that the birthright citizenship changes could remain blocked nationwide. Trump’s order would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of people who are in the country illegally.

Federal judges should only be allowed to rule for their areas, not make full nationwide pronouncements. That is the job of the Supreme Court. So, good ruling.

And, I have written before that it is really up to Congress to set the terms of birthright citizenship, not the Executive.

Oh, and

In her majority opinion for the Supreme Court nuking universal injunctions, Amy Coney Barrett also juked Kentanji Brown Jackson from orbit.

In 30 days expect ICE agents in the delivery suites, catching babies for deportation! Unless of course, the parents file a lawsuit. Every lower court has ruled that the Executive Order is unConstitutional, and the administration has lost at every level.

14th Amendment (Section I)
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Don’t forget, this ruling will apply to the next Democratic President. Rule by Executive Order!! Not by Congress, not by the Courts!! The Constitution DOES not apply to the entire nation, but must by adjudicated in each of 94 federal districts!!

Executive Order XXXXX: Only the police, National Guard and the Military can possess weapons. You have 30 days to relinquish your firearm(s).

LOL. Screw the illegal babies, we’re coming for your guns, hayseeds!!

We have 94 Federal districts. Each can set it’s own Constitutional rules to follow!!!

  The brainless Pissant fails to address the question, hypothetical or not.
  
  Mr teach proposed that Congress should change the 14h Amendment.
  
  Does Mr teach really believe Congress can modify Constitutional rights?
  
  Or does Mr Pissant believe Constitutional rights are hypothetical?
  
  Mr trump has made the followers of his cult as stupid as he is.

    Fat Jeff,
    A measure is introduced to Congress. If passed it goes to the states and when a certain number of states ratify the proposal it alters the 14th amendment. Do you know anything?

      Ugly david, father of Ugly Porter and cult follower of Fat Donnie,
      
      To repeal a constitutional amendment, the same process used to create an amendment must be followed: a new amendment must be proposed and ratified. This involves a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the states. The proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
      
      Do you know anything?
      
      67 Senators
      290 Representatives
      38 states
      
      You have a new Amendment!!
      
      The Repubicuns are likely to have 200 or fewer Reps and fewer than 50 Senators after the next election rounds, not to mention a Democatice President.
      
      Good luck.
      
      Your best hope is for the reactionary SCOTUS and Fat Donnie to collude to abandon traditional order, and make Fat Donnie he forever monarch. When he dies he can bequeath the nation to Don Jr.

Justices Sonia Sotomajor, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan dissented.
Suck it, girls!

“The injunctions before us today reflect a more recent development: district courts asserting the power to prohibit enforcement of a law or policy against anyone,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion. “These injunctions—known as ‘universal injunctions’—likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts. We therefore grant the Government’s applications to partially stay the injunctions entered below.” –Justice Amy Coney Barrett

More from Justice Barrett:

We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary. [Emphasis added]

In concluding the majority’s opinion, Barrett writes, “JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: ‘[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.’ That goes for judges too.”

MEOW!
