Feenstra Votes to Restore Constitutional Separation of Powers and Rein In Power of District Court Judges

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would restore the constitutional balance of powers and limit the ability of district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions.

“Since the beginning of the Trump administration, district court judges have issued nationwide injunctions preventing President Trump from advancing his America First agenda. More than 77 million Americans voted for his pro-America policies and want to see them implemented quickly. There is no reason that activist judges whose authority does not extend nationally should be allowed to completely stop President Trump’s agenda,” said Rep. Feenstra. “I voted to rein in the power of district court judges because our Constitution limits federal courts to resolving specific ‘cases’ and ‘controversies.’ Nationwide injunctions violate that limitation and empower these judges to render far-reaching decisions with a single ruling. The will of the American people matters, and the American people voted to restore prosperity and greatness unhindered by far-left court decisions.”
