This whole bill is so bad.

At its heart, it's taking health coverage and food -- food! -- away from millions of low-income people and families to pay for tax cuts for rich people. And Republicans are coming up with absurd justifications for doing it. www.huffpost.com/entry/medica...

This would effectively stop public interest groups from suing the Trump admin.

“In some of these federal actions, the federal government could say, ‘It’s going to cost $1 billion,'" said Coby Dolan of Earthjustice. "What public interest group is going to be able to afford a $1 billion bond?”

Folks -- We've updated this piece, with a new headline too, to more accurately get at how dangerous this bill is re: letting Trump skirt the courts.

The contempt provision is gone, but the GOP is now trying to price ppl out of being able to sue the govt at all. www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

While the contempt language is gone, Senate GOPers added new language that is also very bad.

Under this bill, any plaintiff seeking a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction against the federal government would have to cough up potentially millions or billions of dollars to sue.
