The House Rules Committee has moved forward with the No Rogue Rulings Act, which seeks to restrict judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions against executive orders, such as those from President Trump concerning immigration. This GOP-led initiative, which passed the committee by a vote of 9-4, aims to ensure that such injunctions apply only to specific parties involved in the litigation. Despite anticipated approval in the House, it's doubtful the Senate will consider the bill. Critics within the GOP have voiced concerns about judicial overreach in recent legal decisions impacting Trump's policies.
"Time and again, solitary judges have usurped congressional intent and confronted President Trump, rather than dispassionately interpreted the law," said Rep. Darrell Issa.
Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, authored a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Sunday announcing similar legislation to reign in the 'abuse of temporary restraining orders'.
