US House Votes To Limit Judges' Injunction Power

Judges have argued Trump is overstepping the bounds of the executive branch AFP The US House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill to limit federal judges' power to oppose President Donald Trump's policies with injunctions, after the White House blasted such hurdles. Largely backed by Republicans with 219 votes in favor and 213 against, the draft law has almost no chance of passing the Senate, where Republicans hold a majority with 53 members, but not the 60 votes needed to overcome a potential filibuster. Wednesday's bill would prevent district court judges from issuing rulings with nationwide effects, instead restricting their orders to only the parties in the case at hand.
