The Senate Committee quietly stripped this section from the Big Beautiful Bill:

“No court of the United States may enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.”

OP-Senate Republicans may have grown a tiny bit of spine

i'll want to check the bill in its final form.

it would be completely typical republican slimy procedure to remove this from the senate version, then have the house-senate reconciliation committee re-insert it at the last minute before final passage, or attach it to some other bill later.

for the moment, i'll accept that, with those caveats, this is a drop of good news in an ocean of disaster.
