🚨BREAKING: Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a sharp rebuke to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision limiting nationwide injunctions by U.S. district judges. In the majority opinion, Barrett wrote: “JUSTICE JACKSON, however, chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever. Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a ‘mind-numbingly technical query,’ she offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush.” She continued: “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.” The Court ruled that district judges generally cannot issue nationwide injunctions that block federal policies across the entire country for parties not before the court.
