The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.
According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.
Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.
The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.
Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.
The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.
“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.
The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.
“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”
Turley said that many of the injunctions are brought in “favorable” jurisdictions in front of “favorable” judges.
Those activist judges issue the injunctions that are favorable to Democrats and stop the president’s policies in their tracks.
