Reject anti-democratic provision undermining judicial authority over executive

The provision in the House-passed legislation that would require litigants to post exorbitant bonds before judges can enforce orders blocking Trump policies is deeply concerning. This measure would effectively nullify the judiciary's ability to serve as a check on executive overreach, undermining a core principle of our democratic system of government. By erecting financial barriers to judicial enforcement, the provision threatens to insulate the administration from accountability to the rule of law. Federal courts have already blocked over 180 of Trump's policies that were found to be unlawful, reflecting their vital role in safeguarding constitutional rights and limiting presidential powers. Requiring prohibitive bonds would allow the administration to simply disregard adverse rulings, rendering court orders toothless. This brazen attack on judicial authority cannot stand. I urge you to reject this anti-democratic provision that would enable the president to flout court orders with impunity. Preserving the judiciary's contempt powers to enforce its lawful judgments against the executive branch is essential to maintaining our nation's system of checks and balances. The American people depend on an independent judiciary to uphold the Constitution and protect our fundamental freedoms from any overreaching administration. Please defend this core tenet of our democracy.
