The U.S. House of Representatives has passed Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) No Rogue Rulings Act, which will place restrictions on federal District Court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.
One Republican voted to empower activist judges.
The new law will stop a single district court judge, one out of 677 across the nation, from dictating policy for the entire country, as we’ve seen countless times from Trump-hating activist judges.
This comes after the Supreme Court vacated Judge James Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. They ruled that Boasberg, as a single district court judge, lacked jurisdiction to dictate the President’s policy.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts on Monday also indefinitely blocked another judge’s order requiring the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Rep. Issa, the bill’s sponsor, noted that previously, the Supreme Court heard less than 70 cases per year, but now they are needed to intervene “every couple of days in order to handle these activist judges.”
Issa recently discussed his bill and the Democrats’ hypocritical opposition with Fox’s Stuart Varney.
“They don’t like it because it might make life a little more fluid for the Trump administration, but they absolutely wanted it till the last days of the Biden administration,” he said.
WATCH:
Issa: Well, the most important part is that the Supreme Court, which sees about 62 to 66 cases a year, is now seeing a case every couple of days in order to handle these activist judges, and they are consistently slapping down these judges for their overly broad injunctions and, in some cases, just reversing them. But we’ve got to, we’ve got to maintain the nature of the court. The High Court speaks for the nation. District Courts speak for their districts. This bill returns that to where it belongs and where it was for the first almost 200 years of our history.
Varney: The Democrats say you are destroying democracy by challenging the courts like this, and your response is?
Issa: The Solicitor General of the Biden administration, as late as mid-October of last year, was asking for what we’re delivering on the floor. It’s only a question of a shoe on the other foot. They don’t like it because it might make life a little more fluid for the Trump administration, but they absolutely wanted it till the last days of the Biden administration.
