Summary
Trump has intensified his opposition to nationwide injunctions, calling for Congress and the Supreme Court to limit district courts’ power to block federal policies nationwide.
These injunctions have repeatedly halted Trump’s second-term initiatives, including attempts to end birthright citizenship and deport migrants under a 1789 law.
Trump’s administration argues that these orders undermine executive authority and seeks permanent relief to restrict their use.
The Supreme Court has expressed concerns but has not yet ruled on the issue.
They do undermine executive authority . Which is the entire fucking point.
Not quite, undermine implies sabotaging standard process. Trump doesn’t actually have the authority to do this shit. Their rulings block over reach but don’t currently undermine anything.
But nationwide injunctions are totally fine when issued in Texas to block student loan forgiveness or reproductive rights.
This could be a good thing. Trump doesn’t realize he is stripping the ability of the 5th circuit to be assholes at scale.
Oh that would still apply. It’s the application of law that defines the new American caste system.

“Our objective, one way or another, is to make clear that the district courts of this country do not have the authority to direct the functions of the executive branch. Period,”
Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff
They do, and it’ll get ugly when they try to stop it.
Insane
Miller is such an ass. I’m sure he is smart enough to know he is spitting bullshit.
The lawbook is the same, as is any judge’s role to oversee/uphold such law… But that’s inconvenient information.
So, as usual they use nice and plausible sounding words, but the end of the matter is that someone needs his decrees to be above (judgement against) the law…
Slowly taking away local judges’ (and states) rights to review nationwide law and only rule on local matters while the king decides is a callback to the middle ages.
