Kennedy on Fox News: Why SCOTUS should seize opportunity to eliminate universal injunctions

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, penned
this op-ed
on Fox News urging the Supreme Court to address the problem of universal injunctions ahead of oral arguments in
Trump v. CASA, Inc.
on Thursday.
Key excerpts of the speech are below:
“The universal injunction gives individual judges extraordinary power. Don’t like a law passed by Congress? Gone. Don’t like an agency’s regulation? Dead. Don’t like one of the president’s policies? Sayonara.”
. . .
“One rogue judge shouldn’t be able to force the Supreme Court to rush on complex legal issues because he or she assumed the power to enjoin a federal policy nationwide.
“This isn’t an ideological issue. Justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Elena Kagan have all expressed concerns about universal injunctions short-circuiting the American judicial system. Nor is this a partisan issue. Solicitor Generals for both Presidents Biden and Trump have asked the Supreme Court to put an end to universal injunctions.
“These individuals understand better than anyone that the rampant use of universal injunctions by district court judges is threatening to destabilize the judiciary, and indeed, our entire system of government. I hope the court will take advantage of the opportunity to end this unlawful practice once and for all.”
