In a ruling that stems from the president's birthright citizenship order, the "conservative supermajority just took away lower courts' single most powerful tool for reining in the Trump administration's lawless excesses."

That's it. The Executive has stripped the Judicial of power. This will go down in history like the Citizen's United ruling as the end of America's "great experiment".

It's stupid. Sure, one could argue that nationwide injunctions are overreach, but they are necessary to limit the otherwise unlimited executive order power. The real overreach that needs to be removed is the executive order power. Nationwide injunctions would not be as necessary if laws were actually created and voted on by congress.
