Josh Hawley goes on the Offensive - No Rogue Rulings Act

Activist judges are illegally blocking Donald Trump’s agenda

And Josh Hawley wants to hand Donald Trump one weapon to smack down activist judges.

Senator Josh Hawley is pushing a bill to curb the abuse of nationwide injunctions by activist District Court Judges, aiming to prevent them from blocking President Trump’s agenda across the entire country.

The No Rogue Rulings Act, introduced by Representative Darrell Issa, seeks to limit the reach of lower court rulings and restore balance between the branches of government.

Legal scholars and experts argue that Congress has the power to rein in District Courts and restrict nationwide injunctions, providing a more effective solution than pursuing impeachment.

“It’s never been more obvious that parts of our federal judiciary have a major malfunction of judicial activism,” Issa said. “Practically every week, we see yet another federal judge issuing yet another nationwide injunction in yet another gambit to stop President Trump from exercising his Constitutional Article II powers and carrying out the policy agenda he promised the American people he would make a reality.”

The bill passed out of the House Judiciary Committee on a 14-9 vote.
