Presidents of both parties have complained about nationwide injunctions for years and Trump has noted, correctly, that there have been far more issued against him than presidents in the past.
"This was a big decision,” Trump said from the White House shortly after the ruling was issued. The president described the outcome as an “amazing decision, one that we’re very happy about.” sources says.
Lower courts can temporarily block court ordered efforts to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act and prohibit transgender service members in the military.
But the high Court's decision remains, limiting the power of courts to step in and block policies on a nationwide basis in the short term while judges review their legality.
This being on a Case by case situation of course. Is Donald Trump attacking injunctions? Possibly...
Last year, a 6-3 majority ruled that Trump – and other presidents – are at least presumptively immune from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office. The decision allowed Trump to avoid a trial on federal election subversion charges that were pending against him.
This big win is certainly gaining perspective.
