This legislation, titled the "Court Shopping Deterrence Act," proposes to amend Title 28 of the United States Code to alter the appellate path for specific types of court orders. Under this bill, any appeal from a district court order granting a nationwide injunction would be directed immediately to the Supreme Court, bypassing the circuit courts of appeals. A "nationwide injunction" is defined as a federal court order that restrains the enforcement of a federal statute, regulation, or similar authority against individuals or entities not directly involved in the lawsuit. An exception is made for cases where non-parties are represented by a party acting in a representative capacity, such as in a class action. This measure aims to streamline the review of broad injunctions that have a widespread impact on federal policy.
