I’m writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act (“NORRA”). If passed, NORRA would destabilize the checks and balances built into our constitutional system, putting the freedom of every American at risk. NORRA would sharply limit federal district courts’ ability to do their jobs and issue nationwide injunctions against unlawful actions. By design, it would prevent federal district courts from effectively blocking illegal actions, including actions by this administration. But when an unlawful federal government action hurts people across the country, it is important to be able to take timely action to stop that action nationwide. The framers of our Constitution established a judicial branch as part of the checks and balances essential to protecting our liberty. This brazenly political attempt to restrain and block our federal courts from doing their jobs in this manner must be rejected. Please uphold your path of office and oppose NORRA.
