Obama SCOTUS judge KAGAN was against nationwide injunctions under Biden, now she is for it under Trump…which one is it?

[ColonelAngus]

She said “ONE DISTRICT JUDGE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP A NATIONWIDE POLICY IN ITS TRACKS.” In 2022.

Now she flip flopped.

Now she says nationwide injunctions are totally acceptable!

Which one is it?

 

[task0778]

It depends on who is in the WH. There's a lotta that crap going around.

Thread 'Justice Kagan Opposed Nationwide Injunctions Just a Few Years Ago'

Jun 28, 2025

So she is on record in 2022 as opposing nationwide injunctions.

But this week she signed on to a dissent in which didn't oppose them.

Odd, eh?

​

“It just can’t be right,” Justice Elena Kagan said in remarks in 2022 at Northwestern University’s law school, “that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years that it takes to go through the normal process.”​

The question is moot. She lost.

The constant hypocrisy of the left is not a moot point.

IT IS ON EVERY SUBJECT, ALL THE TIME.

There is no border.

I am just psyched I have a friend.

She was against it before she was for it.

Lurch is contagious, apparently

It is exactly what you said. She was against them under Biden and for them under Trump.

I thought judges were supposed to apply to law the same regardless of those involved.

Thats a basic tenet of law school. You test it both ways and apply it equally.

NOW WE HAVE A SCOTUS JUDGE THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW A BASIC RULE FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL?

******* WOW.

It's engrained in those on the left that SCOTUS decisions be best for the country (which is subject to opinion), to hell with the actual laws and the Constitution.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It is ******* literally called THE RULE OF LAW

Liberal SCOTUS judges do not practice THE RULE OF LAW when applying the law.

Just amazing.

Like when they were for deportation and now they are open borders

 

[jc456]

jc456 almost every idea trump has had demofks ran on decades ago. They have no civility

 

[ColonelAngus]

So Princeton, Harvard, and Oxford do not teach THE RULE OF LAW?

That is incredible.

I am surprised, TBH…one would think those institutions taught that basic legal tenet.

The one that really floored me was the fact that the military parade was actually planned by the Biden administration. When that came out suddenly all the screaming and wailing and rending of garments stopped.

The spin is that Biden approved a modest, routine observance.

Then Trump amplified it because, as we all know, he is Hitler….and also a King.

DONALD TRUMP IS KING HITLER!
