TELL THE SENATE: The House GOP passed the No Rogue Rulings Act to strip power away from judges. If the Senate passes this legislation, Trump will have greater leeway to carry out his extreme agenda. Sign the petition: Stop legislation that removes power from judges and hands it to Trump!

Hi,

Last week, Speaker Mike Johnson and the House GOP voted to restrict the power of federal district judges.1 Republicans are doing everything they can to remove the checks and balances in the federal system so Trump can grab power and do whatever he wants.

This legislation, the “No Rogue Rulings Act,” is an extreme right-wing reaction to federal judges placing injunctions on Trump’s policies — from unconstitutional immigration orders, the attempted nationwide federal funding freeze, gutting of government agencies, and much more.

“If you don’t like the injunctions, don’t do illegal, unconstitutional stuff,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal in reaction to Trump’s policies and the passage of this dangerous bill.2 The Act has now passed the House, so if the Senate doesn’t preserve the power of the judiciary by rejecting this legislation, Trump will expand his unchecked powers and execute more of his horrifying agenda.

Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s power grab — oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act!

Republicans have been spouting absurd propaganda while trying to build a case for this unprecedented legislation. Rep. Darrell Issa pushed the bill, making the false, nonsensical claim that, “Left-leaning activists have cooperated with ideological judges who they have sought out to take their cases and weaponize nationwide injunctions to stall dozens of lawful executive actions and initiatives.”3 These statements are both ridiculous and dangerous.

We can’t let Congress take judicial powers from judges who are holding the Trump administration accountable. We need our Senators to protect the rule of law and stop the No Rogue Rulings Act.

Sign the petition: Protect federal judges from the GOP attempt to strip away their power.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
