It is critical that H.R. 1526, the NORRA of 2025, does not become law. This bill would undermine the system of checks and balances by severely limiting the ability of district courts to issue injunctive relief against unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the executive branch. The separation of powers and judicial review are fundamental principles enshrined in the Constitution to prevent any one branch from accumulating unchecked power. H.R. 1526 represents an unacceptable overreach that would neuter the judiciary's role as a co-equal branch able to check executive overreach. It threatens to erode our democratic system of government by concentrating power in the hands of the president. Stripping courts of their authority to halt illegal executive actions through injunctions paves the way for a president to act with impunity, free from meaningful oversight or consequences. This is antithetical to the founding ideals of limited government, individual liberty, and the rule of law. Allowing this alarming legislation to pass would irreparably damage our democratic institutions and system of governance as established by the Constitution. I urge you to reject this bill and uphold your sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution against all threats, foreign and domestic. Protecting American democracy requires maintaining robust checks and balances between the three branches. Please vote no on H.R. 1526.
