Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan

[Ocelot II]

5. Beat me to it - I just finished reading the opinion, and although it's a problem

for the issue at hand (although it does not address birthright citizenship itself, and there's nothing in the decision suggesting SCOTUS would try to limit or abolish it on the merits), it also refers to forum-shopping. Anti-abortion groups in particular have filed their cases in the district court in Amarillo, Texas, to be sure their cases would be heard by right-winger Kacsmaryk. Among other things, he's issued an injunction allowing several states to petition the FDA to prohibit Mifepristone, saying said they shouldn’t be automatically discounted from suing in Texas just because they’re outside the state. So, I'd say sidelining Kacsmaryk and other judicial wackos is a positive development.

I think clever lawyers can figure out a way around the national injunction prohibition in some cases through the use of class actions.
