The proposed No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 would severely restrict the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief against unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the executive branch. This represents an unacceptable infringement on the judiciary's role as a check on executive power. The ability of courts to provide injunctive relief is a crucial safeguard against executive overreach and ensures that executive actions remain within the bounds of the law. Limiting injunctive relief to only applying to the parties involved in a specific case would render courts powerless to halt broadly applicable unconstitutional policies or actions that impact large segments of the population. The proposed three-judge panel process, while introducing some oversight, still denies district courts their traditional injunctive powers and undermines their ability to uphold the rule of law efficiently and consistently across jurisdictions. This bill is an alarming attempt to insulate the executive branch from judicial scrutiny and weaken the critical system of checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution. It would consolidate power in the hands of the president in a manner antithetical to democratic principles. In the interest of upholding the separation of powers and ensuring no branch operates above the law, this dangerous legislation must be firmly rejected.
