There's a lot to take away from this ruling. And I'm going to have to defer to legal scholars as to the scope of it.

I assume the ruling is for universal injunctive relief only. But what if a district court rules that the executive order is unconstitutional? Does this ruling mean that the executive order is only unconstitutional in that district's scope? If a circuit court affirms a district court's unconstitutional ruling, does this mean it's only applicable to those states within their jurisdiction?

Does this mean for every federal action that gets challenged, there has to be 94 district court cases and 50 corresponding state cases, simply to get a law or action ruled unconstitutional across the US?

There are going to be thousands of cases flooding the district courts now with this ruling. I hope they are braced for it.
