On June 27, 2025, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion in a ruling that limited the ability of U.S. District Judges to issue nationwide injunctions. In her opinion, Barrett sharply criticized fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent, describing it as contrary to over two centuries of legal precedent and the Constitution. Barrett accused Jackson of dismissing established legal standards and embracing what she called an "imperial Judiciary" while condemning an "imperial Executive." The opinion suggested that Jackson failed to adequately engage with legal precedent, referring to her reluctance to read what Barrett described as "boring 'legalese.'" This rebuke was widely noted for its directness and intensity, marking a rare and pointed clash between the two justices. The ruling and Barrett's critique came amid a broader Supreme Court decision involving President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. The Court's decision was 6-3, reflecting a conservative majority. Barrett's opinion has been characterized as a forceful assertion of constitutional limits on judicial power and a rejection of Jackson's dissenting views.
