Republican-led House passes bill to limit nationwide orders from federal district judges (apnews.com)

Summary

The Republican-led House passed a bill 219–213 to curb federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, a response to judges rulings against Trump-era policies.

The bill restricts relief to affected parties only, not nationwide. Republicans argue liberal judges are blocking Trump's agenda, while Democrats say courts are striking down illegal orders. GOP lawmakers also seek to limit funding for enforcing broad injunctions.

The bill faces slim chances in the Senate.

The Congressional Research Service reported 17 nationwide injunctions so far in Trump’s second term, compared to 86 in his first.

That’s correct. Real ID is not proof of citizenship. You’ll need that as well as a birth certificate or passport with the same name in order to vote if this passes in the Senate.

...and for clarity: Women that changed their name in marriage cannot use this path for voter ID because their birth certificate (which DOES prove place of birth and citizenship) doesn't show the married name.

So for those women, the only ID I can see that would work for them would be passport or military ID. Again, IANAL

Exactly. They would need to get a passport ~~with the name on their REAL ID~~ in order to vote.

If these married women (that changed their last name) have their passport, I don't think they need Real ID to vote. They would just need to present the passport at time of voting.

So all women that married and changed their name (and don't have a military ID showing the married name) would need to apply for at least a Passport Card costing $30. So $30 for these women to vote. How is this not a Poll Tax by another name that was outlawed in the 24th Amendment?

24th Amendment of the Constitution:

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax."

You’re right. A passport satisfies both requirements.
