Conforming amendment to the all writs act

Section 1651 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: (c) (1) The Supreme Court or a justice thereof may only issue a writ enjoining any party from the conduct specified in the writ, if the Court or a justice thereof determines that enjoining such conduct is necessary as a result of a critical and exigent circumstance to protect an indisputably clear legal right that is at issue in the case. (2) (A) The Supreme Court or a justice thereof shall set forth on the record the reasons for the determination made under paragraph (1) including identifying, if applicable, the legal right at issue in the case and why it is indisputably clear, the motion for a writ. (B) The reasons under subparagraph (A) shall be published on the public docket of the Supreme Court at the time at which the motion for the writ is granted or denied. (C) The requirement under subparagraph (B) shall not apply if the Supreme Court or a justice thereof determines that immediate action is necessary to prevent imminent or irreparable harm. If there is such a need, the basis under subparagraph (A) shall be published on the public docket of the Supreme Court not later than 7 days after the writ is granted or denied..
