Restoring Judicial Separation of Powers Act

This bill changes which courts handle certain types of cases involving the federal government. It gives the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, instead of the Supreme Court, the power to hear direct appeals from certain court panels, as well as some other types of appeals. It also creates a new 13-judge panel made up of judges from different courts to handle cases involving the federal government, the Constitution, federal laws, or executive orders. Additionally, if someone asks a federal court to block a federal law or regulation from being enforced against people who aren't part of the lawsuit, the case must be moved to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals if one of the parties requests it.
