Appeals of nationwide court orders would go straight to the Supreme Court
This bill, called the "Court Shopping Deterrence Act," would change how certain court orders are appealed. If a federal district court issues a nationwide order, the appeal would go directly to the Supreme Court, skipping the usual appeals courts. This aims to deter what some call "court shopping" and could lead to quicker final decisions for these broad court orders.
Today, when a federal district court issues a nationwide order, appeals first go to a circuit court. After that, a party might ask the Supreme Court to review the case. If this bill becomes law, appeals for these specific nationwide orders would go straight to the Supreme Court, skipping the circuit courts entirely. This means these cases would have one less level of review before reaching the highest court.
