2Limitation on authority of United States district courts to provide injunctive relief
This section would add a new section 1370 to chapter 85 of title 28 of the United States Code. The new section would state that no United States district court may issue any order providing injunctive relief, with one exception: a court could still issue such an order if it applies only to limit the actions of a party to the case before that court, and only with respect to the party that sought the injunctive relief from that court. In effect, a district court could grant injunctive relief only to the specific party that asked for it and only against the specific party being sued in that same case, not relief that reaches beyond the parties before the court. This section would also add a corresponding entry for the new section 1370 to the table of sections for chapter 85 of title 28.
