CHANGE: SCOTUS Quashes Federal District Courts’ Nationwide Injunctions, 6-3.
Federal courts can still rule against an exercise of executive policy if they find it to be unlawful. They can issue temporary injunctions ahead of such trials if the judge believes that the plaintiffs have a good chance of prevailing and will suffer irreparable harm in the interregnum, just as they did before. However, this ruling limits those stays and injunctions only to the parties before the court in each case. That could complicate matters and force these into class actions at some point, but courts have rules and procedures for that as well.
The usual three justices dissented, but Barrett took a moment out to blister Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in particular[.]
QED:
Holy shit, this is about as brutal as I've ever seen SCOTUS be on one of their own.

Two uses this week of bunker busters. First, America dropped them on Iran. This morning, Amy Coney Barrett dropped one on Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN):
The FACT that six Justices were OK with signing onto an opinion where Justice Barrett took a personal shot at Justice Jackson is a VERY STRONG indication that Jackson has alienated her colleagues and there is a growing lack of respect for her work.
Justices circulate Memos…
