Several Alabama political officials are praising a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that curbs the ability of lower courts to implement nationwide injunctions.
On Friday, the court ruled in a 6-3 decision to allow lower courts to issue injunctions only in limited instances, effectively preventing many from putting forward nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration.
While the ruling was focused on the injunctions, it chose not to weigh in yet on the constitutionality of Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who signed onto an amicus brief supporting the Trump administration in this case, said this ruling “puts a stop to judicial activism.”
“For years, federal courts have claimed the power to rule over the nation through universal injunctions. Today, the Supreme Court has finally put a stop to this judicial activism, which has abused our constitutional separation of powers for too long,” Marshall said. “President Trump’s lawful order on so-called birthright citizenship should go into effect, but I have no doubt those working to undermine our immigration laws will try new tactics. Rest assured that as our coalition of states celebrates this victory, we will continue to fight for President Trump’s America First agenda.”

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said the ruling enhances “the credibility of our judicial system.”
I applaud the Supreme Court’s ruling to enhance the credibility of our judicial system by restricting the use of universal injunctions. Today’s decision reaffirms the limits that Congress has imposed on judicial authority, and it marks a significant victory for the rule of law.

U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) called the decision “a big win for the Constitution.”
Big win for the Constitution.
Today’s SCOTUS decision rightly struck down the use of universal injunctions by lower courts. These broad rulings have too often undermined the will of elected leaders and ultimately their constituents.
The Court is restoring balance to the…

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) believes the ruling proves that “rogue judges have overstepped their authority by issuing baseless injunctions.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling confirms what we’ve known – rogue judges have overstepped their authority by issuing baseless injunctions against President Trump’s executive orders.
The American people didn’t elect woke judges, they elected President Trump. https://t.co/UHMLnS9Wdz
