Elizabeth Wydra, President of the Constitutional Accountability Center, voiced "serious concern" over a recent US Supreme Court ruling that limits the power of federal judges, specifically curbing their authority to issue nationwide injunctions. This decision has significant implications for various areas, including birthright citizenship and class-action lawsuits, according to Wydra. She discussed these effects and the impact on the Executive branch of government.
Wydra's comments were made during an appearance on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power," where she spoke with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu. This discussion took place on June 27, 2025.
The context of this ruling comes amidst a trend of the Supreme Court issuing a high number of 6-3 decisions along ideological lines. This term has seen more such decisions than the entirety of the previous term, with conservative majorities impacting issues like the Voting Rights Act, immigration, and Second Amendment cases, often aligning with the Trump administration's positions.
