Looks like he's laying the groundwork for the Executive Branch to ignore nationwide injunctions outside the ruling court's district.

That idiot judge from Hawaii will no longer be allowed to overstep his authority, halt Trump's executive orders, and rely on the media for protection.

He is laying groundwork in multiple hostile courts. Cite the same case law and let judges do illegal rulings. Elevate case to supreme court and cite the multiple cases.
Supreme court then slaps all lower courts to take away their nationwide injunction authority.

would a lawyer/legally-minded individual please ELI5 for non-legal-minded?

Essentially it looks like they're beginning the steps necessary to fix cases like the Travel Ban, where an executive order, clearly within the President's powers, was held up nation-wide by a decision from a single judge in Hawaii.

I'm not a lawyer but it looks like the executive branch and justice department may start to ignore nationwide injunctions, since federal activist judges have abused them numerous times. Using nationwide injunctions to block Trump's travel ban was probably the most egregious example of federal judges going beyond the limitations of their jurisdiction.
