Hidden inside Trump's so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is a provision that could quietly shut the courthouse doors to nearly everyone but the rich. Section 203 says this: No court can issue a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction against the federal government unless the person suing first posts a bond big enough to cover any costs and damages the government claims it might suffer. The judge is not allowed to consider anything else. Not fairness. Not urgency. Not harm to the public. Only the government's claimed financial loss. That bond could be enormous. Millions. Even billions. If you cannot afford it, you are out of luck. You do not get to stop the government, even temporarily. If you think the amount is too high, tough. You can only appeal if the judge made a truly outrageous error. That is a high legal bar. This means that unless you have vast resources, you cannot stop a federal agency from bulldozing a sacred site, seizing land, deporting someone unjustly, or silencing dissent.
No one wants your opinion Tux. Edit: You're still highlighting selective pieces and using weasel words. Just because you partially edited your post, it's still opinion. Why don't you highlight the part that says "appealable ... under a an abuse of discretion standard"?
It just loops in your head because it's echoing around an empty space. To your edit: In U.S. law, if a judge makes a decision (like setting an enormous bond), and you want to appeal it, you can, but under the abuse of discretion standard, you must prove that the judge's decision was not just wrong, but egregiously unreasonable, arbitrary or irrational. It’s not enough to say the bond was “too high.” You must prove the judge acted wildly outside the bounds of reason. Courts are very reluctant to reverse those decisions.
Judicial system is a deep state rubber stamp anyways. Make Lawfare unaffordable. If the rules we followed got us here of what use were the rules.
Ad hominem attack again? I'll mark that as another win for Rothbard and big loss for Tux's idea of selective justice. Thanks!
You made no argument. It was an insult, shit-for-brains. As much as you are a moron @spy, you are gifted compared to Echopulse.
