1. Ali Velshi had a good explanation

Courts use injunctions to block executive actions (like Presidential Executive Orders) that appear to be unconstitutional until the Supreme Court can rule on the specific issue.

The Supreme Court’s opinion was issued in the case of an EO affecting birthright citizenship; however, their ban against most (undefined) nation wide injunctions endangers all rights.

As explained, only injunctions on behalf of specific individuals, groups (undefined), and states are now allowed. Everyone else has to go to court.

It would appear that in a state that does not file a suit to protect abortion rights against an EO, each woman would have to go to court to protect her right.

This is my non-lawyer understanding from listening to the segment.

Barbara McQuade is now explaining it. Look for a YouTube replay of her appearance on Velshi this AM.

Good luck
