Manage episode 483802624 series 3649731
In this episode of Unwritten Law, NCLA’s Mark Chenoweth and John Vecchione unpack the recent Supreme Court oral argument in a high-stakes case involving nationwide injunctions—and a controversial executive order on birthright citizenship.
John reports from inside the courtroom, where justices wrestled with the limits of judicial power, class actions, and whether a single district court can block federal policies across all 50 states.
The conversation explores historical precedent, state standing, class certification workarounds, and why the Court may be looking for a narrow path forward. With sharp analysis, this episode reveals how one obscure procedural tool could reshape constitutional litigation.
