In a seismic 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the use of universal injunctions, limiting federal judges' ability to block executive actions nationwide. The ruling carries far-reaching consequences—from immigration policy and birthright citizenship to civil rights enforcement—reshaping the legal landscape across the country. As guest host Jim Santelle discuses, Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the majority opinion as a “travesty,” warning of a chaotic legal patchwork that could undermine uniform protections under federal law. Jim also unpacks several other explosive rulings: new restrictions on minors’ access to online pornography, the expansion of parental rights to opt children out of LGBTQ+ curriculum, and the Court’s surprising decision to uphold preventive care under the Affordable Care Act. With the Court’s ideological divide deepening, these decisions set the stage for fierce legal, cultural, and political battles ahead.
