Louisiana Senator John Kennedy strongly endorsed a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited the use of nationwide injunctions, a decision that has stirred sharp debate across the political spectrum. Speaking on Fox News\u2019 Faulkner Focus, Kennedy argued the ruling was not only a victory for the Constitution but also a sign of judicial restraint long overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Court\u2019s 6\u20133 decision came in a case tied to challenges over birthright citizenship, but the ruling reached beyond that specific policy dispute. By striking down broad injunctions issued by lower courts against executive actions, the justices set a precedent likely to affect future administrations, regardless of party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGood Riddance\u201d to Universal Injunctions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kennedy applauded the ruling, saying that nationwide injunctions\u2014court orders that block federal policies across the entire country\u2014have no foundation in U.S. law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Supreme Court has turned the universal injunctions into fish food, as well it should have,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cThere\u2019s no basis in statute. There\u2019s no basis in Supreme Court precedent. There is no basis in English common law for universal injunctions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He argued that such sweeping judicial actions allow individual judges to wield disproportionate power. \u201cJudges who just dislike what Congress and a president\u2014any president\u2014has done just made them up,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd good riddance. I\u2019m proud of the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
