The No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA) of 2025 is a concerning piece of legislation that seeks to significantly limit the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief. This act would prohibit district courts from issuing orders that provide injunctive relief except in limited cases where the order only applies to the parties involved in the case before the court. The bill creates an unnecessary obstacle for individuals and organizations seeking to challenge potentially unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the executive branch. It undermines the system of checks and balances and the ability of the judicial branch to serve as a meaningful check on executive power. Furthermore, the creation of a special three-judge panel to consider cases brought by multiple states challenging executive actions is concerning. While the panel would have the authority to issue broader injunctions, the criteria for doing so is vague and could lead to inconsistent and arbitrary decisions. I urge you to oppose this legislation as it represents an unwarranted restriction on the ability of the judicial branch to provide effective remedies and uphold the rule of law. Limiting injunctive relief in this manner could lead to irreparable harm and a denial of justice for those whose rights have been violated. Please stand firm in defending the proper role and authority of the federal judiciary.
