REMOVE SEC. 70302. Restriction of Funds SECTION FROM HR1 BILL I am alarmed by the changes to the HR1 bill's judicial section. While Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) removed the Restriction of Funds language (SEC. 70302. Restriction of Funds) from the Senate's version of the bill, there is new and arguably more problematic language in its place. This bill would require that anyone seeking a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction against the federal government first post a bond that covers the costs and damages that would be sustained to the federal government, in the event it loses the case. We're talking millions if not billions of dollars being required upfront, effectively shutting off people's ability to sue the Trump administration. This language would make it exponentially harder, if not impossible, for people to bring lawsuits against the government. The language in question is in SEC._203.RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT. If this measure stays in the bill, only a billionaire would be able to get prompt relief from the courts when this administration breaks the law. This language is going after the public's right to vindicate their rights in court and it's imposing on the courts themselves, all while staying with the theme of making Trump king. It is completely unacceptable. You must vote no on HR1. NO KINGS.
