Hinson: The No Rogue Rulings Act will End Judicial Weaponization

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement after voting for the No Rogue Rulings Act, legislation that would prohibit district judges from legislating from the bench and single handedly overturning the president's agenda.

“The courts are an important check and balance in our democracy. However, activist lower court judges have repeatedly issued politically motivated nationwide injunctions to obstruct President Trump’s agenda. For example, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered planes carrying dangerous illegal immigrants to turn around midair back to the United States, even after President Trump and President Bukele of El Salvador negotiated an agreement to deport these illegals. The No Rogue Rulings Act will ensure district court judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions and end this latest judicial weaponization tactic." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson 

Background:

• The No Rogue Rulings Act would limit the ability of a single district judge to issue a nationwide injunction and ensure rulings are tailored to specific parties named in the lawsuit.
• More than two-thirds of all universal injunctions issued over the past 25 years were levied against the first Trump administration. In the past two months alone, judges have issued at least 15 universal injunctions against the administration—surpassing the 14 President Biden faced throughout his four-year term.
