Justice Kagan Reverses 2022 Stance on Nationwide Injunctions Amid Supreme Court Controversy

News summary

The Supreme Court's recent 6-3 ruling in Trump v. CASA, Inc. restricted the ability of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies, a move that has sparked significant backlash from liberals. Justice Elena Kagan, who dissented in this case, faced criticism for what many see as hypocrisy, given her 2022 statements opposing nationwide injunctions when President Biden was in office. Back then, Kagan expressed skepticism about a single district judge being able to halt nationwide policies for years, but her position shifted after Donald Trump became president again in 2025. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, emphasizing that courts should not exceed their authority when addressing executive branch actions. The decision is seen as a blow to liberal legal strategies that frequently used nationwide injunctions to stall conservative policies, and it has intensified partisan debates over judicial power and political influence on the Supreme Court. Observers note that the left's changing stance on injunctions appears politically motivated, underscored by Kagan's reversal.
