TELL THE SENATE: Trump questioned whether he needs to follow the
Constitution as he and the GOP continue their unprecedented attacks on
federal judges. The House recently passed extreme legislation that strips
power from judges and hands it to Trump. The Senate must stop this bill.

Hi,

Speaker Mike Johnson and the House GOP recently voted to drastically
reduce the power of the judicial branch to check Trump’s power.

At a time when Trump says he doesn’t know if he needs to follow the
Constitution,^1 this is an alarming piece of legislation. The No Rogue
Rulings Act is an extreme right-wing reaction to judges placing
injunctions on Trump’s policies. The bill would prevent district judges
from halting Trump’s illegal actions.^2

Federal judges have been one of the strongest checks on the Trump
administration’s attempts to execute illegal actions as part of its
right-wing, anti-democracy agenda. The GOP is trying to take power away
from judges by passing the No Rogue Rulings Act.

Top Trump adviser, Stephen Miller, is leading the charge to spread
propaganda about so-called “activist judges” — claiming that any judge
ruling against Trump is “communist” and “extreme.”^3

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.”^4 These statements are both ridiculous
and dangerous.

“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 bill.^5 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.
