Rep Darrell Issa has introduced the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA) to stop federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions that derail a president’s agenda.
Instead, rulings would only apply to the parties in the case—no more one-judge veto power over the White House.
Trump’s policies have been hit with over 50 lawsuits challenging more than 60 executive actions.
Issa:
“The founders could never have envisioned judges and part of the legislative branch teaming up to tie down the executive and disempower the people.
The current judge-shopping climate in the United States amounts to judicial tyranny and a weaponization of courts.”
The bill has strong GOP backing and is expected to pass and land on Trump’s desk.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:
“We believe these judges are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters of the law and they have issued at least 12 injunctions against this administration in the past 14 days, often without citing any evidence or grounds for their lawsuits.
This is part of a larger concerted effort by Democrat activists, and nothing more than the continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump.”
Looks like Issa and Trump are done letting judges play king.
