[Summary/exerpts]
District federal judges have no statutory basis in law, or Supreme Court opinion/ precedent, or in common law, or under Article 3 of the Constitution, to issue "universal injunctions" (a.k.a. nationwide injunctions). They can only render verdicts for the parties of the case (plantiff & defendant) in their jurisdiction / district. It would require a class action lawsuits to affect nationwide.
In many cases, plantiffs can't satisfy Rule 23 to establish a Class. It encourages forum shopping, district shopping, & filing multiple lawsuits to get one judge to be successful.
Universal injuctions have become a weapon against the Trump administration.
There were only 27 issued in the 20th century. There were 86 against Trump's first administration, and 30 so far in his second administration.
Universal injunctions have no legal basis.
Congress needs to act to say district federal judges can render a verdict to a plantiff or a defendant, but you can't render a decision that will impact other people outside your courtroom, other than through a Class Action.
"That's why God created Class Actions."
