An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Reject bill limiting nationwide injunctions protecting constitutional rights

5 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

The Republican bill to limit the ability of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions poses a serious threat to judicial oversight and accountability. Nationwide injunctions play a crucial role in safeguarding constitutional rights and upholding the rule of law when the political branches overstep their authority. Requiring every individual to separately challenge an unconstitutional policy in order to be shielded from it would place an undue burden on the judicial system and deny equal protection under the law. This legislation is a transparent attempt to insulate the Executive Branch from judicial review, allowing the administration to implement sweeping and potentially unconstitutional policies without meaningful checks and balances. It undermines the fundamental principles of separation of powers and threatens to erode the role of the judiciary as a co-equal branch of government. Nationwide injunctions have provided critical protections against the current administration's efforts to dismantle federal agencies, discriminate against immigrant communities, and undermine civil rights. Curtailing this judicial authority would remove an essential safeguard against government overreach and abuse of power. The role of the federal courts in issuing nationwide injunctions when warranted must be preserved to uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of all Americans. This misguided legislation should be rejected to maintain the integrity of our system of checks and balances and the rule of law.
