BREAKING: Supreme Court, 6-3, limits nationwide injunctions in cases challenging Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, staying injunctions where "broader than necessary to provide complete relief" to those challenging the orders. Lower courts are to decide how that is done. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a884_8n59.pdf

The Supreme Court also allows the Trump administration to begin developing guidance for implementing the executive order.

Barrett has the opinion for the court. Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh write concurrences.

Sotomayor writes the main dissent for her, Kagan, and Jackson. Jackson also dissents.

SCOTUS conservatives end "universal injunctions" in birthright citizenship cases

Justice Barrett wrote the 6-3 decision that created more complications than it provided answers. Stark dissents questioned the ruling's effect on the rule of law.

@chrisgeidner Sotomayor is correct.

I think these 6 reactionary judges don't care much for the Constitution or most of the people in this country.

What's next on #SCOTUS' docket?

You may legally be murdered unless you have an explicit injunction against a specific perpetrator valid for your specific location?

If summat is illegal, it's illegal everywhere...
