Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in support of this morning's ruling from the Supreme Court that will greatly reform the ability of rogue district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions.

According to a Politico article this morning, with this ruling, the Supreme Court said that in most cases, judges can only grant relief to the parties who brought a particular lawsuit and may not extend those decisions to protect other individuals without going through the process of converting a suit into a class action.

I have been fighting for this day for years, including introducing legislation in multiple sessions of Congress that would curtail the ability of rogue district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions, often at the behest of special interest groups that shop around for a friendly district court judge.

This is a good day for democracy. Please join me in congratulating the Supreme Court for this outstanding ruling.
