This legislation poses a grave threat to constitutional checks and balances by stripping federal courts of their ability to issue nationwide injunctions halting unlawful federal policies. These injunctions have served as a critical safeguard for civil rights and liberties, providing relief to millions impacted by unconstitutional executive actions. Curtailing this authority would enable presidents to overstep their powers without meaningful judicial oversight. The independence of the judiciary is a cornerstone of our democracy, and efforts to undermine it in retaliation for unfavorable rulings are an unacceptable attack on the rule of law. Nationwide injunctions are a vital tool for defending our rights against executive overreach. I urge you to reject this damaging bill and uphold the courts' essential role in checking abuses of power.
