Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions Against Trump Executive Orders

President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting Biglaw firms have been repeatedly struck down by courts as unconstitutional, violating firms’ First Amendment and due process rights, with recent rulings continuing this trend. The Supreme Court, in Trump v. Casa, did not eliminate birthright citizenship but instead ended the practice of nationwide injunctions, a development that legal experts and critics warn gives Trump broader latitude to ignore constitutional limits and challenge judicial authority. Alan Dershowitz argued that Trump legally may disregard certain injunctions from liberal judges, framing the conflict as a historic clash between the executive and judiciary branches. Despite Trump’s defiance, polling shows a majority of Americans believe he has crossed a line in attacking the judiciary and should not be allowed to ignore court orders, although his supporters are more divided on this issue. This growing tension raises concerns about the rule of law and potential threats to judicial independence amid Trump’s aggressive posture toward the courts. The Supreme Court’s move to restrict injunctions against Trump’s actions could embolden his administration to push constitutional boundaries further.
