The significant Supreme Court judgment on universal injunctions

This week I will be looking closely at what seems at a highly significant judgment of the United States Supreme Court. It is 119 pages and you can read it here.

At first glance it seems that while onlookers were (mis)directed into worrying about what happens if the Trump administration ignores court orders, the conservative majority on the US Supreme Court, with more subtlety and artistry, has now robbed federal judges from making many of the most unwelcome court orders in first place.

If so, the problem of the federal government disobeying many irksome court orders in large part goes away, because federal judges cannot now even make the most effective court orders!

Such a judgment does not require just a hot-take, but a considered view. I will post more shortly.
