00:00Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of this morning's ruling from the Supreme Court that

00:05will greatly reform the ability of rogue district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions.

00:12According to a Politico article this morning, with this ruling, the Supreme Court, quote,

00:18said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular

00:25lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going

00:30through the process of converting a suit into a class action.

00:34I have been fighting for this day for years, including introducing legislation in multiple

00:40sessions of Congress that would curtail the ability of rogue district court judges to issue

00:45nationwide injunctions, often at the behest of special interest groups that shop around

00:51for a friendly district court judge.

00:54This is a good day for democracy.

00:57Please join me in congratulating the Supreme Court for this outstanding ruling.

01:01I yield back.
