"Reconciliation Could Stymie Lawsuits Against Trump"

"The Senate dropped a House provision critics said was a shield for President Donald Trump, but new language may make it harder for groups to sue." 

"An effort by House Republicans to curb the ability of federal courts to enforce compliance with orders is absent from the Senate version of the party’s megabill.

In its place, Senate leaders added a provision that courts can only issue nationwide orders like injunctions or temporary restraining orders against if the challenger posts a bond.

Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) — who had opposed the House language — said his version would enforce an existing rule that requires courts to impose a bond when parties challenge the government."
