This is absolutely chilling. DEMAND Progress and other organizations are mobilizing the American electorate to e mail our senators to oppose and defeat the No Rogue Rulings Act. In plain language this law would allow a president to issue an executive order that would apply to the entire nation but the only way the executive order could be challenged in court would be by each individual opposed to it filing a challenge in a court in the judicial district they live in. If the challenge is successful the executive order would be overturned in the judicial district of the court issuing the ruling but would remain in effect in the rest of the nation. The No Rogue Rulings Act would destroy the system of checks and balances the founding fathers created when our democratic Republic was established. The Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government have specific responsibilities and powers, no branch has the authority or power to impose actions or regulations not granted to them in the U.S. Constitution. NOT MY pres drumpf / trump, NOT MY pres musk, and NOT MY vp vance want to eliminate our government's system of checks and balances and so create an authoritarian theocratic oligarchy. The gop / greed over people-republican party that controls congress has passed this legislation in the U.S. House and is aggressively pushing it for passage by the U.S. Senate. Please e mail your senators telling them they must use whatever tactics necessary to stop and defeat the No Rogue Rulings Act, and be sure to share this with family, friends and coworkers. From Demand Progress and The New Republic.....
First, House Republicans passed a bill to strip federal district judges of the power to block Donald Trump's most blatantly illegal executive actions.1 Then the FBI arrested a county judge in Wisconsin for defying Trump's wishes in court, and on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out the possibility that Supreme Court justices could be arrested next.2 It's all part of a coordinated attack on the judiciary in order to sweep away any remaining limits on Trump's power. Demand Progress is mobilizing tens of thousands of people to stop the so-called No Rogue Rulings Act and defend the independent judiciary. The Act is now going to the Senate for a vote, and we need to make more noise than ever. Since the moment Donald Trump was sworn in, he's been on an illegal and unconstitutional rampage. The one meaningful thing standing in his way so far has been the federal judiciary. But if the so-called No Rogue Rulings Act passes the Senate and is signed into law, even that check on his power would be removed. It's absolutely chilling. This is not a partisan issue. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have been held in check by federal court injunctions. It's absolutely fundamental to the system of checks and balances at the core of our system of government. Demand Progress is sounding the alarm and flooding Capitol Hill with petition signatures and e mails to help stop the No Rogue Rulings Act, and we're counting on your help to ensure we have the resources we need to win. With gratitude, The team at Demand Progress Action Sources: 1. NBC News, "House votes to rein in federal judges amid Trump's attacks on the courts," April 9, 2025. 2. The New Republic, "Karoline Leavitt Refuses to Rule Out Arrest of Supreme Court Judges," April 28, 2025.  The White House press secretary is quietly warning the Supreme Court. The Trump administration is open to arresting Supreme Court judges, as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told it on Monday morning. “You guys arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit judge for allegedly helping illegal immigrants get away,” Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Leavitt. “As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?” “That’s a hypothetical question, again I defer you to the Department of Justice for individuals that they are looking at or individual cases. But let’s be clear about what this judge did: She obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse. She showed that illegal alien the door to evade law enforcement officials. That is a clear-cut case of obstruction,” Leavitt replied. “And so anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials from doing their jobs is putting theirselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely.” The Department of Justice on Friday arrested Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan, on charges of obstruction after she allegedly “intentionally misdirected federal agents away” from Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant. He was later arrested outside the courthouse. The Trump administration is showing open and direct hostility toward the judicial branch, identifying any judge who dares to defy them as an “activist judge.” The arrest of Judge Dugan, the numerous court orders ignored by the administration, the eight immigration judges who have now been fired or put on leave, and now, Leavitt’s alarming answer are all clear indications that Trump has no plans to reel back his abuse of executive power. |
