Big Supreme Court Win For President Trump: No More Universal Preliminary Injunctions
[Julie Kelly] The court's opinion in the administration's challenge to broad use of preliminary injunctions is a big win for the president and for separate of powers but unknown consequences are ahead.In a much anticipated decision, the Supreme Court today overturned the use of universal preliminary injunctions—court orders that extend the halt on a certain policy from one jurisdiction to cover the entire country—against the president. In a 6-3 decision authored by Amy Coney Barrett and joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, the court determined that universal injunctions "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts." Further, the court concluded that "nothing like a universal injunction was available at the founding, or for that matter, for more than a century thereafter. Thus, under the Judiciary Act, federal courts lack authority to use them." The opinion is here: 24A884 Trump v. CASA, Inc. Posted by: Besoeker 2025-06-27 |
