I'm going to put this here and ask our esteemed legal eagles or someone with more legal knowledge to answer this as Federal Court decisions seem to affect us on a National level.
Why in some cases when a Federal District Court or Circuit Court of Appeals issues a ruling does it only affect the District or Circuit it's in but when a Federal District Court judge issues a ruling it can affect the entire country?
Specifically the Judge who held up the Trump deportation orders citing racism.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment that can be provided
