Justice Barrett criticises Justice Jacksonâs dissent in a major ruling curbing nationwide injunctions, calling her argument historically and constitutionally flawed.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday delivered a landmark ruling in Trump v. CASA, Inc., curbing the power of district courts to issue nationwide injunctions. In a 6â3 decision, the Court found such sweeping judicial actions lack grounding in both the Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, stated that âuniversalâ injunctions have no historical basis and upset the balance between the executive and judiciary. The case challenged President Trumpâs Executive Order No. 14160, which aimed to reinforce the value of American citizenship.
In a pointed critique, Barrett dismissed Justice Ketanji Brown Jacksonâs dissent, saying: âJustice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.â She added, âJustice Jackson skips over that part. Because analyzing the governing statute involves boring legalese.â
Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh joined Barrettâs opinion, while Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson dissented.
IPOB issued no reaction as this ruling pertained strictly to U.S. domestic policy.
