On June 5, 2025, the Supreme Court dismissed as improvidently granted an important case about the limits of federal-court jurisdiction. As a result, a circuit split persists on whether district courts may certify classes that contain many uninjured members. This outcome was a setback for WLF, which filed an amicus brief urging reversal. WLF argued that the Founders gave federal courts constitutional jurisdiction over only cases and controversies. They did so to prevent the judiciary from governing the country through injunction. Similarly, the Take Care Clause gives the President the authority to enforce federal laws. But the Ninth Circuit’s decision improperly transferred that authority to the plaintiffs’ bar.
