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.
Summary
This bill amends federal law to allow appeals of nationwide injunctions issued by federal district courts to go directly to the Supreme Court rather than through the traditional appeals process. The bill defines a nationwide injunction as a court order that restrains the enforcement of federal law against parties that are not directly involved in the case, unless those parties are represented by someone acting in a representative capacity. This procedural change is intended to expedite Supreme Court review of broad injunctions that affect federal policy nationwide.
