The proposed No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 would severely limit the ability of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief, an essential tool for protecting constitutional rights and holding the government accountable. This bill would prohibit district courts from issuing orders that extend beyond the parties directly involved in the case, curtailing their power to prevent widespread violations by the executive branch. While the bill allows for a narrow exception involving multi-state challenges through a three-judge panel, this exception is too restrictive and fails to adequately safeguard the judiciary's vital role. Injunctive relief has played a crucial role in upholding the rule of law and defending individual liberties throughout American history. From desegregating schools to protecting freedom of speech and religion, court injunctions have served as a critical check on government overreach. Stripping district courts of this authority would undermine the separation of powers and leave citizens vulnerable to unconstitutional actions by the executive branch. Furthermore, the proposed legislation could have severe unintended consequences, potentially allowing unconstitutional policies or actions to remain in effect until a lengthy appeals process concludes. This would cause irreparable harm to individuals and communities directly impacted. In light of these significant concerns, I urge you to oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025. Preserving the judiciary's ability to issue injunctive relief is vital for upholding the Constitution and safeguarding the rights and freedoms of all Americans.
