House Passes Bill to Curb Judges' Power After Anti-Trump Rulings

House Votes to Curb National Injunctions, Targeting Judges Who Thwart Trump
The legislation is part of an escalating Republican campaign to take aim at judges who have moved to halt some of President Trump’s executive orders.

The House passed legislation on Wednesday that would bar federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, part of an escalating Republican campaign to take aim at judges who have moved to halt some of President Trump’s executive orders.

The bill, approved mostly along party lines on a vote of 219 to 213, would largely limit district court judges to issuing narrow orders that pertain to parties involved in a specific lawsuit, rather than broader ones that can block a policy or action from being enforced throughout the country. It would make an exception in cases that were brought by multiple states, which would need to be heard by a three-judge panel.

It faces a slim chance of becoming law because of the obstacles it faces in the Senate, where seven Democrats would have to join Republicans to allow it to advance. So far, similar bills have not been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

House Republicans have framed the legislation, named the No Rogue Rulings Act, as a necessary constitutional check on what they claim is an abuse of power by judges attempting to wield political influence from the bench.

and Constitution arsonists want to bestow greater power upon der Fuhrer by disempowering judges who fail to kowtow to his pompousness. What a surprise!

Some might hold they should've been prosecuted and summarily sentenced for their treasonous participation in the attempted usurpation of the people's VOTE on J6, but not I.
