The gloves came off, but justices got the decision right.
Of the many U.S. Supreme Court opinions issued on the term’s final day, June 27, the one receiving the most attention has been Trump vs. CASA Inc., which involved a challenge against the president’s executive order on birthright citizenship, which was enjoined against everyone in the nation, not just against the plaintiffs. In a 6-3 opinion authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court held that federal district court judges’ injunctions lack the power to stop enforcement of orders beyond those persons named as plaintiffs.
