Supreme Court limits nationwide injunctions, 6-3
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Trump v. CASA that federal district judges may not issue nationwide injunctions blocking federal policies beyond the specific plaintiffs before the court. The conservative majority held universal injunctions exceed Article III judicial power. The three liberal justices dissented, warning the ruling would allow illegal government actions to persist against millions of people.
