This proposed bill, the NORRA of 2025, would severely limit the ability of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief, with narrow exceptions. Injunctive relief is a crucial tool for protecting constitutional rights and holding the government accountable. By curtailing this authority, the bill threatens to undermine judicial independence and the system of checks and balances central to American democracy. I urge you to reject this legislation. It represents an unacceptable infringement on the judiciary's role and an unconstitutional effort to strip courts of their power to provide remedies against unlawful government action. Preserving robust injunctive relief is essential for safeguarding individual liberties and ensuring no person or institution is above the law. This bill would fatally compromise those principles and should not be allowed to advance.
