Democracy is more than elections. Checks and balances are at further risk. From Bloomberg:
“The provision would bar federal judges from issuing a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order against the federal government, unless the challengers had put up a financial security, or a money bond.
This would limit the circumstances when judges could block Trump administration policies while litigation continues, since bonds aren’t commonly ordered in constitutional challenges.”
The proposed amendment has prompted responses on a variety of legal blogs. This analysis from Clint Bolick, a Justice on the Arizona Supreme Court, is particularly helpful at unpacking the implications of the changes in the Senate version.
