The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts cannot issue universal injunctions, significantly curtailing the judiciary's ability to check executive power. Universal injunctions are crucial as they address widespread violations by covering all individuals affected, rather than just specific plaintiffs. Historically, equity has provided essential remedies in cases where traditional legal avenues fell short, especially during critical moments like the Civil Rights era. The current political landscape reveals the Trump administration's manipulation of laws to avoid accountability, making effective judicial intervention more important yet more challenging under this new ruling.
Universal injunctions serve as an extraordinary remedy to provide relief against government abuses, covering all affected parties, not just individual plaintiffs. This tool checks executive power.
The Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA restricts federal courts from issuing universal injunctions, thereby limiting the judiciary's ability to constrain executive actions effectively.
