We're screwed if the budget passes.

Section 73032 of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) limits the judiciary's ability to enforce contempt of court citations against U.S. government officials. It prohibits courts from using appropriated funds to enforce contempt for failure to comply with injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a security bond was provided under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c). This applies retroactively, shielding officials from accountability for defying court orders, even those issued before the bill's enactment.

I'm confused. The courts already have no power to enforce anything. That's the job of the executive branch.
