brooke taylor fox news:Trump-backed bill to stop 'rogue' judges passes House
brooke taylor fox news Trump-supported bill to prevent ‘rogue’ judges from passing passes House The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a bill to restrict federal district judges’ power to influence Trump administration policies nationwide.
The No Rogue Rulings Act, sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., was passed in the House and restricts district courts’ authority to issue nationwide injunctions, rather directing them to limit their reach to the parties themselves in most cases.
With the exception of one Republican legislator, all voted for the bill, which passed 219-213. Not a single Democrat voted for it.
The Trump administration has experienced over 15 nationwide injunctions since the GOP commander-in-chief’s inauguration, aimed at attacking a broad sweep of President Donald Trump’s policy initiatives, from reforming birthright citizenship to anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Even Issa was optimistic that the bill would get through, sharing with Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning, “We’ve got the votes.”

He was not as sure that the bill would receive Democratic approval, although he pointed out former Biden administration solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar complained about the authority of district judges during the last White House term as well.
“We’re hoping some people look at it on its merits rather than its politics,” Issa said.
Rep. Derek Schmidt, R-Kan., whose amendment on the bill seeks to restrict plaintiffs’ capacity to “judge shop” cases to friendly districts, said in an interview with Fox News Digital prior to the vote, “A lot of things get labeled commonsense around here, but this one really is.”
“The fundamental policy of attempting to rein in the excess of nationwide injunctions was supported by Democrats previously. It’s supported by Republicans today, and I hope [this vote will] be supported by both,” he stated.
Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, along with Schmidt and Issa, explained to Fox News Digital following passage of the bill, “Many brooke taylor fox news Democrat-appointed lower court judges have behaved like activist liberal lawyers in robes as they try to halt President Trump’s across-the-board reforms. The No Rogue Rulings Act curbs this unchecked authority.”
Another Republican legislator, Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, said to Fox News Digital, “Over 77 million Americans voted for [Trump’s] pro-American policies and want to see them enacted quickly. There is no reason that activist judges whose jurisdiction does not go nationally should get to shut down [his] agenda totally.”
Republicans’ solidarity on the matter occurs in spite of some initial infighting on how to strike back at what they have referred to as “rogue” and “activist” judges.
Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., one of the two Republicans who backed impeachment and Issa’s legislation, said to Fox News Digital, “The judicial vendetta against President Trump’s agenda needs to be checked. Nationwide injunctions by activist judges have blocked the American people’s will and in some cases their safety, as the President was sworn in.”
Stutzman stated that Issa’s bill “will prevent individual judge’s political ideology from keeping the desires and necessities of our people from being put into action.”
A coalition of conservatives had pressed to impeach particular judges who have thwarted Trump’s agenda, but House GOP leaders moved quickly to scuttle the effort in favor of what they believe is a better path to addressing the issue.
brooke taylor fox news Even with its success in the House, though, the bill does have uncertain prospects in the Senate, where it must attract at least a few Democrats to cross the chamber’s 60-vote threshold.
