Court Shopping Deterrence Act
HR 2274, the Court Shopping Deterrence Act, changes the appellate process for nationwide injunctions. It requires that appeals from district court orders granting nationwide injunctions go directly to the Supreme Court, bypassing intermediate circuit courts. The bill defines a "nationwide injunction" as an order restraining enforcement of federal law against non-parties unless those non-parties are properly represented under federal rules. This directly affects federal courts issuing such injunctions and the parties involved in cases where nationwide injunctions are granted. The bill creates a specific procedural pathway for these appeals without altering substantive law.
