Attorney General McCuskey celebrates major victory as Supreme Court adopts West Virginia’s arguments to end judicial overreach

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WVDN) — West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey hailed a landmark Supreme Court victory that fundamentally transforms how federal courts can address challenges to government actions. In Trump v. CASA, Inc., the nation’s highest court adopted West Virginia’s arguments and definitively ended the practice of federal district judges issuing “universal injunctions” that block government policies nationwide.

“This is a monumental victory for the rule of law and the preservation of public trust in the judicial system,” Attorney General McCuskey said. “West Virginia led the charge to restore the proper balance of power, and the Supreme Court agreed with our arguments. We argued that these so-called universal injunctions go beyond the equitable powers given to federal courts by federal statutes and the Constitution. When federal courts exceed their powers, it threatens the legitimacy of the judiciary.”

Universal injunctions have been a hotly contested issue since the 1990s. In President Trump’s first term, federal courts issued more than 50 universal injunctions against his policies, more than were issued during both the Bush and Obama administrations combined. And federal courts have issued more than 15 universal injunctions against President Trump’s policies since his inauguration in January 2025. 

West Virginia’s amicus brief claims that universal injunctions exceed statutory and constitutional limits by providing relief beyond actual parties to the case. Equitable remedies should be tailored to redress specific plaintiffs’ injuries, not provide universal relief, according to the document. Beyond that, it claims universal injunctions give courts inappropriate supervisory power over the executive and legislative branches. The Court agreed that such injunctions improperly intrude on the other branches of government. 

This ruling immediately affects many pending cases nationwide and prevents future judicial overreach. No longer can a single district judge in any jurisdiction effectively veto federal policy for the entire nation.

“Courts may decide that laws or executive actions are unconstitutional. That’s part of their job. But the answer isn’t for courts to exceed their own powers. They must decide those questions in the context of the particular facts and parties before them. This victory protects both conservative and liberal policies from judicial sabotage,” Attorney General McCuskey said. “Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, unelected judges exerting veto powers over legislation should terrify you. We are a government of laws, not men. Today’s decision restores legitimacy to the courts and hopefully gets politics out of the courtroom.”
