What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Court Shopping Deterrence Act," seeks to amend title 28 of the United States Code. It focuses on the process for appealing orders where a district court issues a nationwide injunction. Under this act, any appeal regarding such an order would go directly to the Supreme Court. The bill specifically defines a nationwide injunction as an order that restrains the enforcement of a federal statute, regulation, order, or similar authority against a person not involved in the case, unless they are represented in a representative capacity.
