Friend,
Today, the House will vote on the “No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA).” If passed, this bill would strip federal judges of the power to issue nationwide injunctions – removing a critical check on Trump’s ability to act without consequence.
Republicans are trying to clear the path for Trump’s lawlessness, gutting the courts that protect our rights. We have to act now to stop them.
Add your name to oppose NORRA before today’s vote! >>
Our judicial system is under attack, and your voice can make a difference. Please don’t wait – take action now.
Thank you,

Friend,
It’s happening right now: Republicans in Congress are attacking one of the last remaining checks on Trump’s power – the courts. Today’s House Judiciary Committee hearing made it clear that MAGA Republicans want to cripple the judiciary so Trump can break the law without consequences.
Their plan? Passing the “No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA).” If they succeed, this bill will strip federal district judges of their ability to issue nationwide injunctions – the very tool that has quickly stopped some of Trump’s most illegal actions in their tracks. Imagine it: a president with virtually unchecked power, free to push his agenda even after a court has found it almost certainly illegal.

During the hearing, Subcommittee Chair Darrell Issa labeled judges who blocked Trump’s illegal actions as “rogue” and claimed they were “malfunctioning.” In his view, the courts doing their job – defending the Constitution and protecting our rights – is a problem.
But Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) pointed out that overreach by courts isn’t the problem; overreach by the Trump administration is the problem, stating courts are acting “exactly as they should.”
What Issa and other Trump allies don’t want you to know is this: when a president engages in unprecedented lawlessness, the courts are supposed to step in. That’s how our system works – checks and balances that keep one person from holding too much power. But Republicans are trying to rewrite the rules to benefit Trump, clearing the way for his lawlessness.
MAGA Republicans are pushing to tear down our judicial system – because right now they are standing in the way of Trump’s reckless and cruel agenda. Their message is clear: If a judge rules against Trump, they’re a problem that needs to be eliminated. That’s not democracy. That’s authoritarianism.
We can’t let them get away with it. Sign the petition to oppose NORRA. >>
This isn’t just about one bill. It’s about whether our government will continue to function as a system of checks and balances – or become a tool for one man’s power grab. Trump and his allies want to undermine the judiciary, intimidate judges, and eliminate accountability.
If they succeed, it’s not just Trump’s opponents who should be worried – it’s every American who wants to feel safe from arbitrary punishment or even arrest just for who they are or for expressing a viewpoint.
Add your name now to protect our democracy. >>
Thank you for standing up for our courts and our Constitution.
