For the past two decades, Presidents have increasingly issued executive orders dictating policy on complex and controversial political issues, like immigration. In response, Federal courts have issued “national injunctions” that are universal in scope — injunctions that prohibit the enforcement of a federal statute, regulation, or order not only against the plaintiff, but also against anyone. Professor Bray will discuss their development and whether a single judge should have the power to issue such broad pronouncements with national policy implications.
