Oppose Provisions Undermining Judicial Authority in Budget Bill

I am writing to urge you to oppose the recent provisions buried in the budget bill that would strip federal courts of their power to hold government officials—including the President—in contempt for defying court orders, and block courts from issuing nationwide injunctions to prevent imminent illegal acts. These measures dangerously upset the balance of powers, undermining the judiciary’s essential role as a check on executive overreach. With the Supreme Court’s recent decision expanding presidential immunity, further weakening judicial enforcement threatens the very foundation of our democracy. Please stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law by rejecting any bill that limits the courts’ ability to hold officials accountable.
