WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, House Republicans passed the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA), which would sharply limit federal district courts’ ability to do their jobs and issue nationwide injunctions against unlawful or unconstitutional actions. The bill targets federal judges who have blocked Donald Trump’s agenda on a national scale.

Stand Up America’s Executive Director, Christina Harvey, issued the following statement on the vote:

“Federal judges are the first line of defense against Donald Trump’s attempts to cut essential services and attack our freedoms. In response to legal rulings that haven’t gone Trump’s way, House Republicans want to make it harder for federal courts to serve as a check on Trump’s lawlessness and overreach.

“But that’s not how our democracy works. Trump is a president bound by the checks and balances of our constitution, not a king with unlimited power.

“Senate leaders must uphold their oath and block any attempt to weaken the federal courts – anything less would be walking away from their constitutional duties.”
