Rule 65 requires a bond on every nationwide injunction, but judges are routinely ignoring these rules designed to prevent such activism from the bench, and Americans are paying the consequences.
Exactly right!! Used to write bonds years ago and paying for a National Bond for āprojected damagesā would be in the millions in premiums!! And that is IF you could find a company to write the bond.
This stops the activism in its tracks BUT did I hear correctly that the injunctions are not valid without the bond(s)?
You heard more than what she said. She said that according to the rule, the bond is precedent to the injunction, meaning that if they obeyed the rule they would determine the bond before ruling on the injunction. It is just another rule they are flaunting.
(Could be worse; they could've subverted the rule by determining it only needed a $10 bond and then going ahead.)
