YourVoice.Now Summary
When a single federal district court judge issues a "nationwide injunction" — an order that blocks a federal law or regulation everywhere in the country, not just in that judge's jurisdiction — the appeal currently goes to a regional appeals court. This bill would send those appeals straight to the Supreme Court instead. The goal is to discourage groups from filing lawsuits in courts they think are friendly to their cause (known as "forum shopping") by ensuring the highest court reviews any order with nationwide reach.
