Hi,
Donald Trump is on an illegal and unconstitutional rampage, and the one
meaningful thing standing in his way so far has been the federal
judiciary.
But last week, the House of Representatives passed legislation to sweep
away even that check on his power by stripping federal judges of the
ability to halt his most flagrantly illegal actions with nationwide
injunctions.^1
Now this legislation goes to the Senate, and if it passes, it will move us
another dangerous step closer to full-on authoritarianism.
Demand Progress has mobilized tens of thousands of people to speak out
against this awful bill, but we must ramp up the pressure because the
Senate is our last chance to stop this awful legislation.

When Trump issued his executive order overturning birthright citizenship —
a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment — it was stopped by a federal
judge issuing a nationwide injunction.^2
Same for Trump's first-term Muslim travel ban, his ban on transgender
troops in the military, and dozens of other illegal orders.^3
But under this bill, that restriction would be gone. Trump could simply
issue any order he wants, and it would immediately go into effect unless
the Supreme Court steps in. And given the massive number of illegal and
unconstitutional actions pouring out of this White House, there's simply
no way the nine justices of the Supreme Court could keep up.
Democratic presidents have also been held in check by federal court
injunctions, but no president has violated the law as often and as
shamelessly as Trump.
With our democracy hanging by a thread, we must do everything we can to
fight back right now.
