I am writing to express my unequivocal and urgent opposition to the so-called No Rogue Rulings Act, which I view as a blatant overreach of executive power and a direct threat to the foundational checks and balances enshrined in the United States Constitution.
This legislation, under the guise of “reining in” judicial authority, seeks to silence federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions—an essential tool for ensuring that unlawful or unconstitutional executive actions can be halted before they cause widespread harm. Limiting this authority would not only weaken the judiciary’s ability to serve as a check on executive overreach, but it would also set a dangerous precedent where partisan interests can manipulate the law unchecked by independent judicial review.
Let me be clear: this bill is not about accountability. It is about power. It is an authoritarian maneuver disguised as reform, driven by an administration that has shown blatant disregard for legal norms and democratic principles. The very idea that a single federal judge should be restricted from protecting the rights of all Americans—simply because those rights are politically inconvenient—is both legally absurd and morally offensive.
The courts are not “rogue” when they stand up to unconstitutional actions. They are doing their job. And it is your job, as an elected official, to defend the Constitution—not to enable the erosion of the separation of powers for the sake of political expediency.
I demand that you publicly denounce and vote against this bill. I urge you to stand on the right side of history and protect the independence of our judiciary and the integrity of our democracy.
I will be watching your actions closely, and I expect you to represent the will of your constituents—not the whims of an increasingly autocratic executive branch.
