Right now, one unelected judge can shut down an entire national policy—immigration enforcement, border security, you name it. They’re using that power to block deportations and stall President Trump’s agenda before it even gets off the ground.
I don’t believe the judicial check was ever meant to be used so prolifically. It’s a necessary check, undoubtedly. There will often be disagreement between the Executive (charged to “execute” the law), and the courts. This is usually the fault of Congress for writing laws that are vague in nature. But that “check” cannot be a single unelected judge, effectively empowered with the same “execution” authority as the President. We must properly balance this important mechanism of checks and balances.
That’s why I support the No Rogue Rulings Act. This bill reins in activist judges by stopping them from issuing broad, nationwide rulings in cases that should only apply to the people directly involved. It restores balance between the courts, Congress, and the executive branch—just like the Constitution intends. |
