Senator Josh Hawley states the obvious. DISTRICT judges cannot make NATIONAL rulings.

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
89 federal district courts in the 50 states and their rulings should only apply in that district. That should be obvious. Can a city judge in columbus OH tell indianapolis what to do?

march 25 2025 Monday, on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) called on his colleagues on Capitol Hill to institute a moratorium on lower federal court judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions.
“Absolutely,” Hawley replied. “The key thing to do here, Laura, is to end the ability of these district courts to abuse their judicial authority by issuing the so-called nationwide injunctions. Laura, I don’t think they have that authority, properly speaking, under the Constitution Article 3, what they’re doing is they’re purporting these judges, they’re purporting to go out and to bind parties and individuals who aren’t before them. They’re purporting to bind people who aren’t in their district. We only have one Supreme Court that can bind the whole nation.”

He continued, “District courts aren’t supposed to be able to do it, and yet, President Trump has been subject already to 15 separate so-called nationwide injunctions. In his first term, Laura, there were 64. We have never seen anything like this in American history. It’s incredibly abusive, and Congress ought to end it, and we can’t end it by just saying no nationwide injunctions by these district courts.”

HUH??????????????????? Hey stupid. Where does the constitution give district judges authority to make rulings for the whole country.?

It doesn't. In cases where a district court rules on constitutionality such rulings only apply within that district until the SCOTUS chimes in...

An example:
5th Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi):
A prominent example is United States v. Texas (2023), where the 5th Circuit addressed Texas’s S.B. 4, a state law allowing local officials to arrest and deport suspected undocumented immigrants. The 5th Circuit initially stayed a district court’s injunction against the law, meaning it could be enforced in Texas (within the 5th Circuit’s jurisdiction) while litigation continued. This ruling applied only to the 5th Circuit’s district—Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi—and had no legal force elsewhere unless other circuits adopted similar reasoning. SCOTUS later intervened in March 2024, issuing an order that effectively paused the 5th Circuit’s stay, allowing the district court’s injunction to stand temporarily. The case remains pending, but until SCOTUS issues a final ruling, the 5th Circuit’s decision (or the district court’s, depending on the latest procedural posture) governs only its region. This illustrates how a 5th Circuit ruling applies locally until SCOTUS acts—or doesn’t.

Another:

4th Circuit (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina):
Consider Bostic v. Schaefer (2014), where the 4th Circuit struck down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional. This ruling was binding only within the 4th Circuit, meaning same-sex marriage bans in other circuits (like the 5th or 9th) remained enforceable until SCOTUS ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Until that SCOTUS decision, the 4th Circuit’s ruling applied only to its district, and other circuits had their own timelines and outcomes (e.g., the 6th Circuit upheld bans, creating a split resolved by SCOTUS). This shows a 4th Circuit ruling holding sway locally until SCOTUS stepped in.

Sure they can, subject to appeal. That is how the Court System works.
