Headline is a tad ambitious. This action is procedural in nature and does not / will not address the merits of the case. The Trump admin is asking the Supreme Court to strike down the three national injunctions and limit the scope of the birthright orders to only apply to citizens in the states where it was granted.
“Universal injunctions have reached epidemic proportions since the start of the current administration,” the filing says. “Those universal injunctions prohibit a Day 1 Executive Order from being enforced anywhere in the country, as to ‘hundreds of thousands’ of unspecified individuals who are ‘not before the court nor identified by the court.’”
While totally ignoring the fact that reason why there are so many injunctions is Trump keeps ignoring laws and the Constitution. An immediate injunction is entirely appropriate in that case.
Besides, it’s not like the lower court judge issues the injunction and that’s the end of the story. There is still litigation, and everything can get appealed. Limiting the scope of those injunctions will only serve to have Trump selectively ignore the Constitution for states what like what he is doing, which is not how it’s supposed to work at all.
