   @Nonilex this combines with the requirement individually sue for every right to make a complete joke of our ability to address the govt.

     “No #court of the United States may enforce a #contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued," the bill says. It applies RETROACTIVELY.

     "Security" refers to bonds that may be used in private litigation when one party seeks an injunction….If it turns out the injunction is reversed, the bond helps cover the defendant's losses.

     But it rarely happens in cases against the govt.

     The provision follows a White House memo in March that directed heads of govt agencies to request that plaintiffs post a bond if they are seeking an #injunction against an agency policy. The #Trump admin said the measure would deter *frivolous* lawsuits.

     The Trump admin & the #House #Judiciary Cmte did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump has attacked #judges who ruled against his government but he has also *said* he would obey #SCOTUS [but hasn’t].

     #Trump's sweeping tax-cut #bill includes provision to weaken #court powers

     The tax-&-spending bill that would enact Trump's policy agenda includes a provision that would weaken the #power of US #judges to enforce #contempt when the #government defies court orders.

     The 1-sentence provision in the 1,100-pg bill prevents #FederalCourts, including #SCOTUS, from enforcing contempt orders unless the plaintiffs have posted a monetary bond….
