I urge you to block passage of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” because it contains the following: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill. What it says: “No court shall have jurisdiction to review any action taken by the Secretary, the EPA Administrator, a State or municipal agency, or any other Federal agency […] to issue a lease, permit, biological opinion, or other approval.” What it means: - If the government approves drilling, mining, or development, even illegally, you can’t sue. - It applies retroactively, killing lawsuits already in progress. - Tribes, environmental groups, citizens, even states, lose the right to challenge these approvals in court. Why it matters: This guts judicial review, a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. Courts are the only check on executive overreach. This section erases that check for some of the most destructive decisions the government can make.
