Last night SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Judges do NOT have the ability to issue national injunctions.
The main effect seems to be that Trump need not appoint himself as a Federal judge in order to effect and enact Federal policy.
Shadow docket
“Trump v. CASA, Inc., 606 U.S. 831 (2025), is a United States Supreme Court case addressing whether lower-court judges have the authority to issue "universal injunctions" to block the enforcement of policies nationwide. On June 27, 2025, the Court ruled in a 6–3 decision that universal injunctions exceed the judiciary power unless necessary to provide the formal plaintiff with "complete relief". Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett emphasized that "complete relief" for a plaintiff was distinct from "universal relief" impacting all similar situations nationwide.”
