An Open Letter

To: Sen. Thune, Sen. Rounds, Rep. Johnson

From: A constituent in Sioux Falls, SD

April 15

The "NORRA of 2025" aims to severely limit the authority of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions against unlawful executive actions, except in cases involving multiple states across circuits. This bill poses a significant threat to the system of checks and balances by constraining the judiciary's ability to provide relief against unconstitutional or illegal conduct by the executive branch. It undermines the courts' role as a crucial check on government overreach and compromises the principle of equal justice under law by creating a patchwork system where injunctions may only apply to certain parties. Furthermore, the bill's exception for multi-state cases raises concerns about forum shopping and inconsistent rulings across the country. This legislation represents an unwarranted erosion of judicial authority and accountability, jeopardizing the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Americans. I urge you to reject this misguided measure that strikes at the heart of our democratic system of government.
