Supreme Court Hears Arguments Over Nationwide Universal Injunctions Issued by Lowly District Court Justices Who Keep Electing Themselves President

A lowly district court issued a One Man Universal decision stating that birthright citizenship was the law of the land and always would be, and then issuing various nationwide injunctions purporting to control President Trump's actions.

Trump appealed, but only on one part of the ruling: The arrogance of a lowly district court judge, who only has jurisdiction over the area (the literal jurisdiction) he is seated in, issuing what he purports to be nationwide "universal" injunctions. (An injunction is a judicial order forbidding someone from doing something.)

Nationwide injunctions are highly controversial, especially by lowly district court judges, because they are at the very, very bottom of the federal judicial system, and yet they keep arrogating to themselves plenary power to dictate the elected government actions.

Even more importantly, district courts only have jurisdiction over the small, um, jurisdiction they're appointed to judge cases in. In other words, a district court judge from southern Massachusetts has the power to rule on cases in southern Massachusetts. But these low-level bureaucrats keep claiming to have nationwide or "universal" jurisdiction, and instead of limiting their rulings' effect to just the jurisdiction they are seated in, they claim they can rule for the entire country.

These rulings have long been considered out-of-bounds -- including by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who argued against universal injunctions issued by district courts when she was Obama's Solicitor General.

She has a different opinion now, of course.


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

The Supreme Court argument is now concluded and there was far more heat than light offered inside the courtroom...

...Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh seemed strongly in favor of the Administration. Roberts also made repeated points that seemed to support some of the arguments of the Administration, though it was not clear how he would vote...

...On the left, Kagan repeatedly strived to distinguish this case from her earlier objections to universal injunctions under the Biden Administration. She seemed solidly with Sotomayor and Jackson...

...That leaves Gorsuch and Barrett. Gorsuch has previously expressed criticism of universal injunctions but asked probing questions on both sides. Barrett seemed more accommodating in seeking a way to uphold universal injunctions...

Of course this c*nt did.


...In other words, this could be a nail-biter. I think that the Administration still has an advantage in curtailing universal injunctions. However, I did not come away with the sense of a lock with a majority, particularly given Barrett's questions. I am also unsure how Roberts and Gorsuch will play out on the details. Fortunately, we will likely know within a couple of weeks.

From Ed Morrissey:

NYT legal reporter Adam Liptak sums this up with fair accuracy:


The justices have been struggling with two contrary impulses. Many are troubled by injunctions issued by individual federal judges that block executive branch initiatives nationwide. But many of them are also troubled by the executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship and frustrated by the difficulty of reaching the merits, as the Trump administration has only appealed on the first point.

New Jersey's lawyer may have offered a middle ground, arguing that this is the rare case in which nationwide relief is needed because it is the only way to grant complete relief to the more than 20 plaintiff states.


@ShipwreckedCrew predicts the justices may split, and uphold the universal injunction only as to the ban of Trump's order reversing so-called "birthright citizenship," but setting up oversight/checks-and-balances for universal injunctions in all other cases.

The "wise Latina" Sotomayor kept Asking Statements of the Solicitor General. She would "Ask" a Declaration and then cut off the Solicitor General before he could respond.

Even Roberts eventually had enough of her, and interrupted her interrupting to tell her that he actually wanted to hear the Solicitor General's answer to her statement.

Martin Harry
@MartinHarryFL

Listening to the birthright citizenship oral argument at the US Supreme Court. Justice Sotomayor continues to be argumentative, ask questions without allowing a response and monopolizes the Court's time. Chief Justice Roberts had had enough and cut her off. Later, he directly contradicts her belief that Supreme Court review takes 4-5 years, even in emergency cases.


Fox:

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts reined in Justice Sonia Sotomayor during argument over birthright citizenship and nationwide court injunctions on Thursday.

Sotomayor dominated questioning for several minutes at the outset of Thursday's argument after taking over from Justice Clarence Thomas. She pressed U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer for President Donald Trump's administration on several points relating to the authority for federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions, often speaking over the lawyer and interrupting him.

Sotomayor argued that Trump's order invalidating birthright citizenship violated four Supreme Court precedents, and that it was justified for a federal judge to grant an injunction against such a controversial order.

"You are claiming that not just the Supreme Court, that both the Supreme Court and no lower court, can stop an executive from universally violating holdings by this court," Sotomayor said.

"We are not claiming that because we're conceding that there could be an appropriate case only in class only," Sauer said.

"But I hear that--," Sotomayor said, beginning to interrupt Sauer.

"Can I hear the rest of his answer?" Roberts then interjected.

Amy Coney Barrett, naturally, demanded to know if Trump would not only abide but agree with a lower district (Hawaiian) judge's assumption of the powers of the presidency.


Meanwhile: Deb Heine at American Greatness says that a judge has rigged a hearing on Trump's tariffs to make sure that the judges hearing it are On the Right Team.

A three-judge panel at the United States Court of International Trade in lower Manhattan heard arguments in the case Tuesday, and reportedly "appeared skeptical" of the president's arguments.

If the panel decides that Trump's emergency declaration was unlawful, it would effectively block the president's global tariffs and upend his economic agenda.

The chief judge of the United States Court of International Trade is Mark A Barnett, who joined the court in 2013 after a nomination from President Barack Obama. He became chief judge on April 6, 2021.

According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett "fixed" the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would "overrule the president" and render his tariffs "null and void."

No it won't. Barrett will side with the other women, because that's what Barrett is going to do the rest of her time on the court - and what she was destined to do when she was appointed. No woman is going to go against the consensus of three other women in any group.

When faced with a 4-4 tie, Roberts will side with the four liberals. Because that's what Roberts does. And he doesn't want to be unpopular in his social circle.

32 Want a new kind of citizenship?
"Derived Citizenship", that is the spawn will have the same status as the parents.

This was actually the case prior to the 19th Amendment. Being a patriarchal society the child citizenship was derived from the father (if known), mother next*, and finally American by default if the child was a 'foundling'.

*Being before the 19th, women who married derived citizenship from the husband. There were standard forms (SF) to resort ecitizenship to women who married foreigners after this knock-on effect from the 19th turned up. That SF was (and may still be) available on-line. It was 25 years ago.

60 How does the U.S. Court of International Trade have any standing to decide tariff issues?

Tariffs (along with taxes, etc.) mainly go to Congress as an Article I, Section 8 power. However, Congress has slowly been handing the reins over to the Executive Branch with numerous Trade Acts.

Did Congress sue the Executive? If not, then the Trade Court is creating a constitutional crisis by arrogating powers to themselves not given under the Constitution or any subsequent law.

THEY are the ones issuing unlawful orders.

He was very against nationwide injunctions as he said it usurped the voters will. He stated at that time that it was going the other way however. This has been brewing since at least then.

We sent our kids to Catholic school even though we are not Catholic, since it was so much better than our public schools.

My wife and I were instantly embraced by the entire parish.

I was later shocked to learn that in 2008, 68% of Catholics voted for Obama.

The Catholics I knew were at least 90% proto-MAGA.

I finally asked a few people about this. Turns out our neighborhood parish is almost certainly the most conservative out of most of the surrounding portion of the state.

Catholics (like everyone else) are not a monolithic group.

I have no problem supporting a Catholic in the future, but be sure to make it a MAGA one!

170 At best a 5-4 majority will vote to rule birthright citizenship for babies born to illegals on US soil is unconstitutional because this was not the intent of the writers and approvers of the 14th Amendment. But all children born to illegals before the date of the decision are grandfathered as US citizens.

Yeah this is the best we can hope for and its probably a fair compromise. Taking away citizenship retroactively would be a violation of the spirit of the constitution even if not written exactly.

I don't think the problem is "the people." Except to the extent that we bought into the notion that our government is benevolent, and that our elites and oligarchs are patriotic.

Well see the thing is, all of those judges are selected from among the people. If your population isn't much good, your representatives won't be either.

A male harpy would be called a harpy. A male eagle is still an eagle. If harpies come in both sexes "biologically" than both genders would have the same name.

No, but judges have to be willing to send kids back to a country they’ve never known, knowing that they’ll be exposed to extreme poverty and are more likely to be sexually abused or trafficked, to say nothing of being murdered, in their home country than here in America.

271 That said, the proper response of the Supreme Court about lesser federal courts should be "that's up to congress, they created the courts and the constitution leaves their definition and use up to congress."

However, that said, the supreme court CAN rule that the lesser federal courts cannot rule in ways that limit or control the three other branches. They cannot overrule actions by the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial branch. Now, that third one is assumed: you cannot overrule a higher court. But it should extend to ALL of the three coequal branches. ONLY the Supreme Court is given the constitutional authority to rule on the other two branches as part of their check and balance operation.

A comical turn would be for Trump to take one of these Judges, sit him down and say "ok you want to be in charge of the government -- lets do it." You want to get someone pulled out of a prison in El Salvador.?

Then make him personally decide on each of the steps in the process and personally do it. No breaks. No help from assistant executives. You go to each step and do it yourself.

I worked on a project in grad school where we could beat the results of the ground penetrating radar by using high-frequency seismic.

Our source was an M2 machine gun mounted facing downwards on the back of a pickup truck. You fired one in the ground to test the seismometer array. You put the next round into the back of the first round, and got a very nice high frequency ping.

The lead professor wrote up a proposal to improve the method using a 20mm cannon, since he knew there was a ton of old military surplus ammo.

The federal government (ATF?) said, "Nope, 50 cal BMG is the largest round you can fire!"

OK.

But then she ends up siding with the left on so many other issues.

Like illegal migration, for instance.

Is she really more of a liberal Catholic that lets the church guide her on moral issues?
