I am skeptical that district courts have the authority to enter universal injunctions. These injunctions did not emerge until a century and a half after the founding. And they appear to be inconsistent with longstanding limits on equitable relief and the power of Article III courts. If their popularity continues, this Court must address their legality.

That's a warning to these judges that think they can usurp presidential authority.

From Article III, Congress and the President can pass a law that prohibits universal injunctions by district courts.

Problem solved.

Of course, our popularly elected and neutered congress is incapable of doing such a thing. It might threaten reelection.

No, that paragraph is not about the president at all. It is about lower level courts that have jurisdiction over a small area... but that issue nation wide injunctions.

This happens all too frequently, as Justice Thomas stated. And it happens with or without any involvement of any particular official from homeless guy on the street down to President.

Yes it is a stark warning. Stop it before the SCOTUS is required to rule against the practice.
