Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts reins in Sotomayor after repeated interruptions

  • On Thursday, Chief Justice John Roberts intervened during Supreme Court arguments in Washington, D.C., to stop Justice Sonia Sotomayor from repeatedly interrupting U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer.
  • The dispute arose amid a heated hearing over three nationwide injunctions blocking President Trump's birthright citizenship order and the broader authority of federal courts.
  • Sotomayor dominated questioning after Justice Clarence Thomas, persistently challenging Sauer on the limits of federal courts issuing universal injunctions and executive power.
  • Sauer argued injunctions 'transgress the traditional bounds of equitable authority' and 'create a host of practical problems,' emphasizing courts should only act for specific plaintiffs.
  • The Court’s rapid examination may establish a benchmark influencing more than 310 federal cases filed against presidential measures since January 2025, potentially transforming the application of nationwide injunctions and the scope of judicial power.
