I think this is a very good idea. Only issue is that the lawfare-supporting leftist judges who are hearing the case are also the ones who will be deciding what the bond should be. I imagine they would be very lenient with their fellow radicals, who after all, are only acting in the public interest.

A solution that I have been advocating is to change the rules of venue and jurisdication for cases against the Executive branch. This is entirely within Congress’ purview, under the constitution. I would propose a law providing that jurisdiction for lawsuits seeking a halt or change to an action taken by the President must be sent outside of DC. No place has worse federal judges than DC, not even NY (2d circuit) or California (9th Circuit). The law can say that jurisdiction for such cases shall be sent, at the discretion of the President, to any jurisdiction impacted by the president’s action. Also, that injunctions against a President’s action may be immediately appealed directly to the Supreme Court. Also that any judge whose decisions finding against the President are overturned by a higher court is henceforth disqualified from hearing any suits against the executive branch. Those simple changes will go a long way to ending lawfare and delays against what the people voted for.

Also, the system by which the various districts select which judge gets assigned to a case needs to be made transparent and open to all parties to the action. Right now, there is a supposed random assignment system in each District, and for the 3 judge panels in the Courts of Appeal. I don’t believe that this is what is happening for a second. EVERY SINGLE TIME there is one of these lawfare cases, it gets assigned to some lunatic judge who the left knows will do the deep state’s bidding. I have no doubt that the Chief Judge in those left wing districts (NY, LA, SF, Chicago, DC, Atlanta, etc.) is jimmying the system to put his/her best soldiers on the case. There’s no oversight, so no one would be able to say it wasn’t random. That’s why it needs to be transparent and open. There are lots of systems that could be designed to ensure that.

I would add that ex partite injunctions against the executive branch should be disallowed - that would slow their roll
