I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent to demand that you publicly oppose and work to remove Section 70302 of H.R. 1—a provision that represents a blatant assault on the rule of law, judicial authority, and constitutional checks and balances. Section 70302 (pg. 544) restricts federal courts from using appropriated funds to enforce contempt citations when an injunction or restraining order is issued without security under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c). In plain terms, this strips courts of the ability to hold lawbreakers accountable if they defy lawful court orders—unless a financial bond was posted. This is an outrageous and dangerous loophole, custom-built to benefit the powerful and corrupt. Let’s not mince words: this provision is a clear attempt by Donald Trump and his cronies to make themselves untouchable. It is a targeted maneuver to shield them from legal accountability and obstruct the judicial system from doing its job. It is legislative sabotage, meant to protect those who openly defy court orders and destabilize our democracy. This section doesn’t just erode judicial power—it undermines the foundational principle that no one is above the law. Courts issue injunctions and restraining orders to prevent imminent harm. If violators can ignore them with impunity simply because no security was posted, the courts are reduced to issuing hollow warnings with no power to enforce. We know exactly who this provision is meant to benefit. It is not the public. It is not victims. It is not the Constitution. It is a gift to bad actors in high places who seek to delay, defy, and deny justice. You have the power—and the responsibility—to stop this. I demand that you: • Publicly oppose Section 70302 of H.R. 1, • Refuse to support the bill if this section remains, and • Speak out against this cynical attempt to neuter the courts and shield Trump from the consequences of his actions. Americans are paying attention. We expect our representatives to stand up for justice, not bend to corruption. Use your voice. Use your vote. And make it clear that in this country, the law still applies to everyone—even presidents.
