House Republicans Advance Bill to Curb Nationwide Injunctions
As impeachment efforts lose momentum, GOP leaders focus on legislative measures to limit judicial authority.
- The House is set to vote next week on the 'No Rogue Rulings Act,' introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, which aims to restrict federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions.
- Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated support for legislative solutions, deeming them more practical than impeachment efforts against federal judges like James Boasberg.
- The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, is preparing hearings on judicial overreach, including the use of nationwide injunctions, scheduled for April 1.
- Impeachment efforts targeting judges who have ruled against Trump administration policies have gained limited traction and are unlikely to succeed in the Senate due to high thresholds for conviction.
- Chief Justice John Roberts and Democratic leaders have criticized GOP impeachment proposals, emphasizing the importance of judicial independence and constitutional checks and balances.
