Karl Denninger explains how President Trump can stop all of the preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders being used to obstruct his executive orders:
(c) Security. The court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The United States, its officers, and its agencies are not required to give security.
The Federal Government does not have to post such a bond but States and other filers do.
The amount must be sufficient to compensate the loser, so if you ask for a national TRO or injunction in the general sense we’re talking about millions — or even billions. In the case of fraudulent payments being uncovered, as is currently the case, the potential damage from an injunction is in the tens of billions of dollars and the moving states must post said bond.
Who’s going to write that bond? Nobody, in that sort of amount, so they’d have to post it in cash.
Why isn’t the Trump Administration demanding that said bonds be posted with all such filings?
Perhaps they didn’t know this. At any rate, I’m sure they do now.
