Supreme Court, in birthright citizenship case, limits judges' power to block Trump's policies nationwide

The Supreme Court on Friday granted a partial stay of nationwide injunctions issued by district judges against President Donald Trump's executive order to effectively end birthright citizenship.

The 6-3 opinion came from Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The court's three liberal justices dissented.

The court, however, said it was not deciding whether the executive order from Trump was constitutional, rather focusing on whether a single judge has the authority to issue universal injunctions.

"Government’s applications for partial stays of the preliminary injunctions are granted, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue," the opinion read.

Federal district court judges just got Nancy Kerrigan'ed.   This doesn't stop legal challenges, but district courts cannot wholesale stop executive action on a nationwide scale.
