Supreme Court Weighs Overruling 90-Year Precedent to Expand Trump’s Firing Powers, Limits Nationwide Injunctions on Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to consider a case that could grant President Donald Trump expanded authority to remove leaders of independent federal agencies, potentially overruling a 90-year-old precedent that has historically limited presidential firing powers. This precedent has been used by judges to block many of Trump's attempts to oust agency heads. The court is also poised to make a major decision regarding the scope of nationwide injunctions issued by district judges, which have recently blocked an executive order by Trump aimed at ending birthright citizenship. The ruling could impose limits on the power of district judges and affect the use of nationwide relief in federal cases.

THREADETTE: I'm seeing lots of folks commenting re SCOTUS hearing argument on birthright citizenship case to consider issue of nationwide injunction. That is an excellent development BUT as this footnote from Trump Administration notes, issue re nationwide relief is limited. 1/ https://t.co/PKMOhuGpC1
