Universal injunctions

[Syne]

Democrat hypocrisy on full display.

Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dick Durbin (D-Ill.):

“This weekend, a single federal judge in Texas issued a decision that seeks to deny millions of women across the country access to an FDA-approved medication...” Durbin said on April 9, 2023, going on to call the district judge's injunction a “draconian ruling.”
...
Senate Judiciary Committee Member Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii):

“Activist plaintiffs should not be able to hand-pick individual judges to set nationwide policy,” Hirono said on April 12, 2024.
...
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan:

“It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal process,” Kagan said on September 14, 2022.

Nearly every Democrat in the Senate and House of Representatives:

Over 250 Democrat lawmakers – including Schumer and Durbin, as well as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and current and former House Judiciary Ranking Members Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) – submitted a friend-of-the-court brief warning of the “perilous consequences” resulting from a district judge’s move to block the nationwide sale of the abortion pill mifepristone via a universal injunction.

And now that the Supreme Court has ruled that judges can only issue injunctions to provide relief for the named plaintiffs in the case before them, not only are all these Democrats whining about it but Justice Kagan contradicted herself in the dissent. So it seems they're all just partisan hacks, without any principled stance of jurisprudence whatsoever.
