Supreme Court debate on nationwide injunctions for Trump's policies
The Supreme Court is debating the use of nationwide injunctions on President Trump's policies, particularly his birth citizenship update. Trump's lawyers argue that the injunctions hinder public debate and policy implementation. The Department of Justice did not ask the Supreme Court to decide on birthright citizenship. Opponents of curbing nationwide injunctions fear chaos and inconsistency. Justice Clarence Thomas believes the U.S. survived without national injunctions until the 1960s. Left-leaning judges are concerned about government overreach if national injunctions are limited.
