#SCOTUS’ opinion setting new limits on the #power of district-court #judges to use one of their most potent tools— #NationwideInjunctions —marks the beginning of a profound shift in the way the #FederalCourts operate.

Before, >1k judges had the power to issue nationwide orders that could stop the #FederalGovernment in its tracks.

Now, those judges’ rulings can only apply to the actual plaintiffs in the case.

From near the conclusion of Justice Barrett's opinion for the Court, on behalf of the 6 conservatives:

"#FederalCourts do not exercise general #oversight of the #ExecutiveBranch; they resolve cases & controversies consistent with the authority #Congress has given them. When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its #power, too."

TOTAL BS!

Political scientist Adam Bonica analyzed about 300 recent federal cases involving the Trump regime and discovered that #judges are using language which we’re not accustomed to hearing from the federal bench.

“They’re begging us to pay attention.”

On Data and Democracy · Federal Judges Are Begging Us to Pay AttentionBy Adam Bonica

i don't really understand U.S. politics. Maybe someone can answer this question?:

If a federal judge orders somebody to do something, and they don't do it, do they get to send U.S. Marshals to enforce the ruling? If the Attorney General orders the marshals to ignore the judge who's ordering them, do the marshals have to stand down? What if ICE or Homeland Security goons come into conflict with federal marshals? Can a federal judge order in the Tactical Unit? Anybody know? #law #uspol #uspolitics #FederalCourts

#FederalCourts have been a major check on #Trump in his second term, as plaintiffs in dozens of cases have gotten judges to block his policies. Bonds were not required in the vast majority of those cases, so if the #House bill provision became #law, #judges would be unable to enforce #contempt orders.

While no judge has issued a contempt order, several federal judges have said Trump admin ofcls appeared to be defying court orders & are at risk of being held in contempt.

#AmericanAutocracy

#Trump's sweeping tax-cut #bill includes provision to weaken #court powers

The tax-&-spending bill that would enact Trump's policy agenda includes a provision that would weaken the #power of US #judges to enforce #contempt when the #government defies court orders.

The 1-sentence provision in the 1,100-pg bill prevents #FederalCourts, including #SCOTUS, from enforcing contempt orders unless the plaintiffs have posted a monetary bond….
