WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senate Majority Whip, issued the following statement on the Supreme Court decision to limit nationwide injunctions.

“Unelected liberal judges have no right to rule the country. It isn’t checks and balances. It is purely partisan politics – and it is wrong. Today’s Supreme Court decision reins in radical judges that Senate Democrats jammed onto the federal bench over the past four years. It is a win for the rule of law and commonsense. Nationwide injunctions issued by partisan, unelected district court judges is a new phenomenon. It has been abused by elitist extremists wanting to overrule the will of the American people. The Supreme Court got it right by putting an end to this abuse.”
