Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide that an appeal of an order granting a nationwide injunction issued by a district court of the United States shall lie to the Supreme Court.

AI Summary

This bill aims to modify how appeals are handled for nationwide injunctions, which are court orders that prevent the federal government from enforcing a law, regulation, or policy across the entire United States. Specifically, the bill creates a new provision requiring that any nationwide injunction issued by a district court must be immediately appealed directly to the Supreme Court, bypassing the traditional appellate court process. The bill defines a nationwide injunction as a court order that attempts to stop the enforcement of a federal law or regulation against parties who are not directly involved in the original lawsuit, with an exception for cases where those non-parties are represented by a party acting in an official representative capacity under federal civil procedure rules. By routing these significant injunctions directly to the Supreme Court, the bill seeks to centralize and potentially limit what some view as judicial overreach, ensuring that broad legal challenges are reviewed by the highest court in the land. The bill would be implemented by adding a new section to Title 28 of the United States Code, which governs the judicial system.
