SCOTUS puts an end

SCOTUS just tripled the lower court's caseload.
 

Supreme Court hands Trump major win, limits judges’ ability to block birthright citizenship order nationwide​

The justices did not definitively resolve the legality of the executive order.

The Supreme Court has handed President Donald Trump a major victory by narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked his executive order purporting to end the right to birthright citizenship.

In doing so, the court sharply curtailed the power of individual district court judges to issue injunctions blocking federal government policies nationwide.

The justices, in a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the individuals or groups who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a lawsuit into a class action — a special type of litigation that requires challengers to clear procedural hurdles.

“The universal injunction was conspicuously nonexistent for most of our Nation’s history,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion.

Ah, so the Constitution only applies to the circumstances that existed on the day the amendments were passed (according to Trump).

Undocumented immigrants running from the draft in foreign lands should be deported, including their descendants even unto the fourth generation. That's something we may be able to get behind.
 
The ACLU will try. And will get labelled as a vextacious litigant as a result.
And they can just point at SCOTUS who created the cases. It's not like the ACLU is somehow going to change their disputes.

They can point at SCOTUS all they want, the fact is they're going to have to start focusing their litigation efforts toward cases which don't revolve around politics instead of justice.

They're going to be bringing cases in every district court in the country.

And eventually it will end up just clogging up the courts.

And SCOTUS will put an end to that tactic as well. Further, this is where congress steps in, impeached judges are stripped of ALL their cases. The Senate may not convict but it might take years before they get around to the trials.
 
Some key language to remember in this decision that bears on this case is the following;

"Because the universal injunction lacks a historical pedigree, it falls outside the bounds of a federal court's equitable authority under the Judiciary Act."
"Thus, under the Judiciary Act, Federal courts lack authority to issue them."
