Reject H.R. 1526, protect judicial review of executive actions
To: Sen. Scott, Sen. Moody
From: A constituent in Saint Petersburg, FL
April 16
I urge you to reject H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025. This bill would severely limit the ability of federal district courts to issue injunctions against executive branch actions, except in very narrow circumstances. The judiciary serves as an essential check on the other branches of government. Stripping district courts of their power to provide injunctive relief against unlawful or unconstitutional executive actions would undermine this crucial system of checks and balances. While the bill carves out an exception for multi-state challenges, the strict requirements and three-judge panel process create unnecessary hurdles. Federal courts must retain their authority to issue injunctions when warranted, as this power is vital for protecting individual rights, upholding the rule of law, and preventing executive overreach. Curtailing this judicial review would concentration power in the executive branch at the expense of accountability. I implore you to safeguard the constitutional separation of powers and the ability of the courts to serve as a co-equal branch by opposing this misguided legislation. The federal judiciary plays an indispensable role in our democracy by acting as a restraint on abuses by the other branches. Please do not strip away this crucial function.
