The Trump administration has settled on One Weird Trick to avoid judicial review: Kill nationwide injunctions, refuse to respect lower court rulings, and keep cases away from the Supreme Court indefinitely. Oddly, it was Kagan and BARRETT who hammered this yesterday. slate.com/news-and-pol...

So the issue Kagan flagged here is: What if a case never gets to the Supreme Court? What if all the lower courts are in agreement that the Trump administration is wrong and rule against his executive order? Well, if Sauer’s scheme prevails, the Justice Department could simply decline to appeal any of those decisions to the Supreme Court. Then the Justice Department could turn around and say: “Well, we don’t have to respect the decisions by these lower courts, except with regard to the named plaintiffs.” And everybody who’s not a part of the litigation gets screwed. If you aren’t a plaintiff, the government can take away birthright citizenship for your kids, deny them benefits, and deport them. And there’s nothing you can do except hire your own lawyer and slog your way to a new injunction that applies to you. As a practical matter, hundreds of thousands of people are not going to have the resources to do that.
