Fox News: Supreme Court Rules Nationwide Injunctions Exceed the Power of Individual Federal Court Judges

EXCERPT:

BREAM: “There are several concurrences here, but it's written by Justice Barrett, which goes against the ruling that -- I just gave the guidance because she's one of the least junior justices, but she was assigned to write this opinion. Essentially, what she says, she says, 'Some say the universal injunctions give the judiciary a powerful tool to check the executive branch,' but she says, 'Federal courts do not exercise general oversight of the executive branch. They resolve cases and controversies consistent with the authority Congress has given to them. When a court concludes the executive branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power.' Sounding very much like they’re limiting these injunctions. We know here that they have granted, at least partially, the stay to these preliminary injunctions, but they say only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue. They say the lower courts have to move expeditiously with each of these plaintiffs. It says the injunctions are also stayed to the extent that they prohibit executive agencies from developing and issuing public guidance about the executive plan statement and implement the executive order.”
