Barrett, Jackson spar in birthright citizenship case opinions

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, JUN 28 – The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to restrict district courts' power to issue nationwide injunctions, a move favoring the Trump administration and featuring a rare rebuke of Justice Jackson by Justice Barrett.

  • In a 6–3 decision, the United States Supreme Court limited district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett authoring the majority opinion.
  • The case arose from an emergency appeal by the Trump administration, prompted by three federal district courts blocking the January 20, 2025, birthright citizenship order, leading to Supreme Court review.
  • Using pointed language, Barrett wrote, `We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.`
  • The administration hailed the decision as a major boost for Trump after recent legal setbacks, with Trump praising Barrett as writing the opinion 'brilliantly' at a White House press conference.
  • Despite the restriction, judges may continue to block the order through new legal strategies, indicating future pathways for broad relief such as class actions or statewide lawsuits.
