Justice Gorsuch: Nationwide Injunctions Raise ‘Serious Questions’ Over Scope of Courts’ Powers


(Worthy News) – Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has issued a sharp critique of the growing practice of federal judges ruling beyond the scope of a particular case, in some court orders known as nationwide injunctions.

On Jan. 27, the top court voted 5–4 to lift a pair of nationwide injunctions that blocked the Trump administration from enforcing its “public charge” rule that restricted new immigrants from receiving green cards if the individual is deemed likely to become primarily dependent on the government for things such as food stamps or Medicaid.

As part of the order, Gorsuch provided a concurring opinion urging that the court at some point needs to “confront” the “real problem” of nationwide injunctions. Justice Clarence Thomas, who previously issued his own rebuke of the practice in the 2018 travel ban case, joined in that opinion. [ Source: Epoch Times (Read More…) ]
