Protect judicial independence and civil rights - Oppose NORRA

To: Sen. Peters, Rep. Bergman, Sen. Slotkin

From: A verified voter in Mancelona, MI

March 29

The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 (NORRA) is a concerning piece of legislation that would severely limit the ability of federal district courts to issue injunctions, a crucial tool for protecting individual rights and holding the government accountable. This bill would prohibit district courts from issuing injunctions with nationwide effect, except in limited circumstances involving multi-state challenges to executive actions. Such a restriction undermines the judiciary's role as a co-equal branch of government and impedes its ability to uphold the rule of law. Nationwide injunctions have historically played a vital role in addressing unconstitutional policies and ensuring uniform enforcement of federal law across the country. By curtailing this authority, NORRA threatens to create a patchwork of legal obligations, sowing confusion and enabling potential civil rights violations to persist unchecked in certain jurisdictions. Furthermore, the bill's requirement for a randomly selected three-judge panel to hear multi-state challenges raises concerns about politicization of the judicial process and potential violations of due process rights. This provision could lead to inconsistent rulings and further compound the legal uncertainty created by the legislation. In light of these significant concerns, I urge you to oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025. This bill represents an unwarranted intrusion on the judicial branch's Constitutional role and could have far-reaching negative consequences for the protection of individual liberties and the consistent application of federal law throughout the United States.
