        <text><![CDATA[<p><strong>Restoring Judicial Separation of Powers Act</strong></p><p>This bill revises the federal statutory framework that confers appellate jurisdiction to courts.</p><p>Among the changes, the bill grants the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit—not the Supreme Court—jurisdiction over</p><ul><li>direct appeals from final decisions of three-judge panels, and</li><li>appeals by certiorari and certified questions.</li></ul><p>The bill also establishes a 13-judge multi-circuit panel and grants it jurisdiction over any case in which the United States or a federal agency is a party, or a case concerning constitutional interpretation, statutory interpretation of federal law, or the function or actions of an executive order.</p><p>Finally, the bill specifies that whenever an action before a federal court seeks injunctive relief barring the enforcement of a federal law, statute, regulation, or order against a nonparty, the court shall, upon a motion of a party, transfer the action to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.</p>]]></text>
