Sen. Grassley plans bill to stop judges from carrying out checks-and-balances powers
Summary
Senator Chuck Grassley, 91, has introduced a bill to end nationwide injunctions, arguing they unfairly obstruct executive actions like those under Trump.
Grassley says his proposal would stop lower courts from issuing broad orders that affect nonparties and allow faster appeals of temporary restraining orders.
Trump and Republicans support the effort, claiming these injunctions undermine governance.
Legal experts, however, warn the change would weaken the judiciary’s ability to check executive power, potentially causing legal chaos with inconsistent rulings across districts.

Maybe old age will get him before he can sharpen his quill and find the ink pot.
I can see he's one of those live forever demons like Kissinger.
91? You dont get to control the world you won't live in fucker.
how funny would it be if the courts struck it down, heh.
According to Assley's website, he's been in office in Iowa since 1981. He got into the game late; we can only hope he strikes out early.
It's odd they'd use a courtroom artist for just a regular news story
