GOP Bill Would Restrict Scope Of Judicial Rulings

The Hill reports:

Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced a bill Monday to limit the scope of judicial rulings, the latest in a string of GOP bills targeting the judicial branch.

It also requires litigants to pursue class action lawsuits if they seek relief for those beyond just the parties suing. Any such move would bring a sledgehammer to a number of different lawsuits currently challenging Trump administration policies.

Grassley yesterday: Lawmakers cheering or criticizing the outcomes of court injunctions “disrupts the balance of powers”

Grassley in 2015: The judge’s injunction against Obama “is a win for the checks and balances established by the Constitution.”
