Why did Justice Kagan oppose nationwide injunctions in 2022 but support them now?

@ScottJenningsKY : "In 2022, Justice Kagan actually gave an interview and said out loud what a lot of conservatives have been saying this year, which is that how can it be that an individual district court judge can issue a nationwide injunction and effectively grind a presidency to a halt and, you know, take years and years and years for it to go through the process?"

"Now, she obviously voted the other way this time around. I wonder what caused her to change her opinion."

A Democrat was wrecking the country in 2022. Orangeman is doing a superb job in 2025 and that can’t be allowed.

Because she is the law.... mentally unstable ... but the law... When these freaks claim ‘nobody is above the law’, they are saying they are the law ... and they decided who is expendable under them... little devils...

It always depends on whose ox is gored. Especially when dealing with a shallow thinker like Kagan.

“. . . I wonder what caused her to change her opinion.”

It is not about the Constitution; it is not about right or wrong.

It is about what she thinks will help her side at the moment.

This is the way most humans have thought for 6,000 years. Then something better, but more difficult, came along.

Biden 2022 vs. Trump 2025. Rats don’t change their colors.

Supreme Court justices cannot afford situational ethics.

Unless of course they were nominated by democrats.

Nuances ya know ...

It’s because Kagan is not there to uphold the Constitution. She is there to advance the political cause of leftism. For those three communist judges on the high court, nearly every decision they make is viewed from that lens.

The modern elites don’t care about law. They decide the result they want first, and then rationalize it after the fact. So, nationwide injunctions against Biden were bad, but nationwide injunctions against Trump are good in Kagan’s mind. It’s not complicated.

Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Anti-Constitutionalist?

Democrat/Communist shill?

Destroy-America Advocate?

Chaos Subscriber?

USA Hater?

All the above, and more?

That’s been my question since she was nominated. My guess is she was obviously put there as a means to a lefty political agenda. I can’t stand seeing her fat, smug look.
