Supreme Court Curbs Universal Injunctions

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.A sharply divided US Supreme Court limited the power of judges to block government policies nationwide but left unresolved a fight over President Donald Trump’s restrictions on automatic birthright citizenship.The 6-3 ruling Friday said Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship at a minimum won’t take effect for 30 days. The justices returned three cases to the lower courts to consider whether to keep the rules on hold for longer — at least in part of the country if not the whole nation.Trump hailed the decision as a “monumental victory.” By curbing so-called nationwide injunctions, the ruling could help Trump fend off other challenges to his ambitious agenda. Trump and his allies argued that a single judge generally shouldn’t have the power to block a federal government policy across the country. Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.
