Supreme Court Decision on Nationwide Injunctions

This special episode of NPR's Up First analyzes a Supreme Court ruling that limits the power of district courts to issue nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration, specifically concerning an executive order related to birthright citizenship. The court's decision, while not addressing the constitutionality of the executive order itself, is seen as a victory for the president, potentially opening the door for broader implementation of his policies by restricting the ability of lower courts to block them. Legal scholars and NPR correspondents discuss the implications of the ruling, including the potential for increased litigation, the impact on various federal programs, and the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
