Senate Republicans Push Legislation to Limit Nationwide Injunctions

Democrats resist the effort, citing the need to check the Trump administration's constitutional violations.

Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Chuck Grassley, are advancing a bill to restrict federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions that apply to nonparties in legal cases.
Democrats strongly oppose the legislation, arguing that such injunctions are vital for addressing unconstitutional actions by the Trump administration, which has faced a record number of injunctions during its second term.
The debate has highlighted partisan hypocrisy, with Republicans previously supporting injunctions under Democratic administrations and Democrats accusing Republicans of undermining judicial checks on executive power.
The issue has become a focal point in broader discussions about the balance of power between the judiciary and executive branches, with hearings and legislative proposals dominating congressional activity.
A related House vote on a similar bill has been delayed, while Senate hearings continue to explore potential reforms amidst escalating tensions over judicial independence.
