Safeguard Judicial Independence and Rule of Law

This sweeping legislative package poses a grave threat to the rule of law and system of checks and balances that are foundational to American democracy. The provision restricting courts, including the Supreme Court, from enforcing contempt citations against the administration for defying injunctions or restraining orders is an alarming overreach of executive power. Allowing the president to flout judicial orders with impunity would upend our constitutional order and render the judiciary powerless to rein in abuses of authority. Our nation's strength lies in its institutional safeguards and respect for co-equal branches of government. Neutering the courts' enforcement mechanisms would concentrate power in the executive branch unchecked, subverting accountability and the separation of powers. This provision strikes at the heart of judicial independence and threatens to render court rulings mere advisory opinions the administration can disregard at will. Preserving the integrity of our democratic institutions must take precedence over any single administration's agenda. I urge you to reject this anti-democratic provision that undermines judicial authority and the delicate balance of powers. Safeguarding the rule of law should transcend partisan politics to protect the long-term health of our republic.
