This proposed legislation, the "No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025" (NORRA), seeks to severely limit the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief, which is a crucial tool for upholding constitutional rights and preventing irreparable harm. The bill would prohibit district courts from issuing injunctions with nationwide effect, except in cases involving multiple states challenging executive branch actions. Even then, the injunction's scope would be narrowly confined. This measure represents an alarming encroachment on the judiciary's ability to serve as a check on the other branches of government. Nationwide injunctions play a vital role in protecting individuals' civil liberties and ensuring the uniform application of federal law across the country. Restricting this power would undermine the courts' capacity to safeguard the rule of law and uphold constitutional principles. Furthermore, the bill's requirement for a randomly selected three-judge panel to hear multi-state cases raises concerns about the potential politicization of the judicial process. It could lead to inconsistent and conflicting rulings, creating further legal uncertainty and confusion. In light of these significant concerns, I urge you to reject this legislation, as it poses a threat to the delicate balance of powers enshrined in the Constitution and could severely undermine the fair and impartial administration of justice. The judiciary must retain its authority to provide appropriate remedies and uphold the rights of all Americans, regardless of their state of residence.
