A provision āhiddenā in the sweeping budget bill that passed the U.S. House on Thursday seeks to limit the ability of courtsāincluding the U.S. Supreme Courtāfrom enforcing their orders.
āNo court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued,ā the provision in the bill, which is more than 1,000 pages long, says.
The provision āwould make most existing injunctionsāin antitrust cases, police reform cases, school desegregation cases, and othersāunenforceable,ā Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, told Newsweek. āIt serves no purpose but to weaken the power of the federal courts.ā
Every citizen who relies on or expects the supreme court to do their job, because without it, well, no one will ever have standing for anything.
I think it would have to be more direct. But since it applies to federal courts, there are probably a lot of orders being ignored right now. So they should have thier pick.
