Trump asks the Supreme Court for a ‘catch me if you can’ system of justice

John Avlon : The US Supreme Court granted presidents immunity from criminal laws last year .

He says the administration wants the court to strip the judiciary of the power to issue nationwide or universal injunctions.

Avlon says the government would be free to do essentially whatever it wanted to anyone unable to sue or join a class action.

Sauer and some of the GOP -appointed justices seemed content with the idea that through one of those routes, a challenge to an executive order could quickly reach the Supreme Court .

But Kagan quickly pointed out that the government was arguing for an extraordinary loophole: The more egregious the violation, the harder it will be for the issue to ever reach the high court.

It is unclear whether there are five votes among the justices to end universal injunctions outright.
