CNN political analyst Scott Jennings launched a scathing critique of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, accusing her of abandoning consistency in a key ruling on nationwide injunctions. Jennings pointed out that Kagan, who once warned against allowing a single federal judge to block sweeping national policies, took the opposite stance when the ruling favored Trump-era executive orders.
Calling her shift “purely ideological,” Jennings didn’t mince words, branding the move as evidence of partisan bias. He applauded the Supreme Court’s decision as a necessary correction, reinforcing the principle that lower courts should not wield power beyond their jurisdiction.The exchange sparked debate on judicial neutrality, with Jennings insisting the ruling reasserts balance between the judiciary and executive powers, especially when it comes to controversial policies that had been blocked nationwide by individual district courts.
