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.

These Gold Star families felt like they’d been lied to by the government.

Issa wrote a letter to Biden asking him to attend a meeting with the families when they return to Washington, D.C. but the President hasn’t responded to his request.

“After spending many meaningful days with them, I write to facilitate an opportunity for you to speak with them in person so you can finally take the time to listen and hear what they have to say,” Issa wrote Biden. “To date, that simply has yet to happen.”

Could be 1,000 Americans left behind

Congressman: At Least 500 Americans Stranded in Afghanistan, Contradicting White House Estimates

“Unless we continue and get the rest of our American citizens, and all those otherwise eligible out, we won’t have done our job,” Issa told The Associated Press (AP), confirming the number.

When including the family members of U.S. citizens, Issa said the number of people stranded in Afghanistan could be as high as 1,000.
