The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration in curbing nationwide injunctions granted against his birthright citizenship order, in a 6-3 ruling with the court’s Republican appointees in the majority and the Democratic appointees dissenting.

“These injunctions — known as ‘universal injunctions’ — likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in a decision that didn’t decide the underlying legality of President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. Litigation will continue on the issue in the lower courts and individual plaintiffs can still bring additional challenges against the order.

Barrett wrote that such broad injunctions were a relatively recent development in the law that’s “conspicuously nonexistent for most of our Nation’s history.”

When the SCOTUS blatantly tramples the constitution, they prove themselves without the shadow of a doubt to be corrupt to the core.
