I write to express serious concerns about H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025. This bill would severely limit the ability of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief, a crucial tool for protecting individual rights and holding the government accountable. Stripping courts of this authority would undermine the system of checks and balances and concentrate too much power in the executive branch. The proposed legislation would bar district courts from issuing injunctions against federal policies or actions except in very narrow circumstances. This threatens to leave individuals and states without recourse when faced with unlawful or unconstitutional federal overreach. Injunctive relief serves as an important safeguard, preventing irreparable harm while cases work their way through the judicial system. Moreover, the bill's provision creating special three-judge panels to hear certain multi-state cases is an unjustified attempt to influence the judiciary. Random selection of judges better preserves judicial independence. The criteria these panels must consider are also deeply problematic - the "preservation of the constitutional separation of powers" could be used to rubber-stamp virtually any executive action. In drafting legislation, we must be vigilant in upholding the system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. H.R. 1526 threatens this foundational principle by undermining the role of the judiciary as a co-equal branch. I urge you to reject this misguided effort to consolidate power and vote against the No Rogue Rulings Act. The courts must retain their authority to check governmental overreach and protect individual liberties.
