Court Shopping Deterrence Act

This bill changes where certain big court appeals go. If a single federal trial judge blocks a law or policy for the whole country (a “nationwide injunction”), any appeal would skip the usual appeals court and go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. The goal is to get a faster, final answer when one judge’s order affects everyone nationwide.

Key points

• What changes: Appeals of nationwide injunctions by federal district courts would go directly to the Supreme Court, instead of to a regional appeals court first.
• Who is affected: People, businesses, states, and the federal government when a nationwide injunction is issued.
• Day-to-day impact: Could speed up final rulings on big national issues, reducing back-and-forth in lower courts when one judge’s order applies across the country.
