CALIRED NEWS–California Congressman (CA-48) Darrell Issa, of East San Diego County, is sponsoring The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 (H.R. 1526) as more federal district judges issue universal injunctions against President Donald J. Trump’s agenda.
“It’s never been more obvious that parts of our federal judiciary have a major malfunction of judicial activism. Practically every week, we see yet another federal judge issuing yet another nationwide injunction in yet another gambit to stop President Trump from exercising his Constitutional Article II powers and carrying out the policy agenda he promised the American people he would make a reality,” said Congressman Darrell Issa.
“In only the latest example, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg severely overstepped his authority and demonstrated the most critical shortfall of judicial temperament. By ordering planes containing dangerous illegal immigrants–that President Trump negotiated with a foreign country to let land–to turn around in midair makes a mockery of the important powers we assign to our federal judges. This isn’t even close to a legal disagreement involving standing, statute or precedent. It is the Trump Resistance in Robes.
“We have a crisis on the bench right now and not just with this or any single judge. My bill – The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 – won’t only deal with excesses like Judge Boasberg’s outrageous demands on the President and the Trump Administration. It is the comprehensive solution we need to ensure that this problem does not occur anywhere in our federal judiciary and resets the proper and appropriate balance in our courts. It has already passed the Judiciary Committee, and I look forward to this bill gaining the support of the full House, the Senate, and heading to President Trump’s desk.”
“What we are doing on the House floor is passing a major piece of legislation that defines what I believe the Supreme Court should have already decided, which is to rein in the excessive decisions by district courts. If they don’t, we will.
“Additionally, while the President has his executive action, we intend on also using our power to define a lot of other things for the court, and one of them, quite frankly, is that these cases, in some cases, exceed the jurisdiction of the court, and we can rein that in. So, we’ll work with the President and the administration to do that.”
The House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) scheduled a joint hearing with the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet and the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government today (April 1) which is titled “Judicial Overreach and Constitutional Limits on the Federal Courts” is set to examine rulings by District Court Judge James Boasberg, who is at the center of the White House’s battle to enforce the Alien Enemies Act and deport terrorist illegal aliens.
Judge Boasberg sided with criminal gang members Friday (March 28) and extended his temporary restraining order (TRO) in the Alien Enemies Act case until April 12. Meanwhile, Jordan Conradson of the Gateway Pundit reports that President Trump has made calls for Boasberg’s security clearance to be pulled as a consequence for his “lawless” order.
House Speaker Mike Johnson Issues Warning: Congress Has The Authority To Defund And Disband Federal Courts
In a March 25, Gateway Pundit story by Jim Hoft, House Speaker Mike Jonson issued a warning when speaking to an ABC reporter: “We do have authority over the federal courts. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have powered funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”
Since returning to the White House on Jan. 20, 2025, President Trump has been met with an unprecedented onslaught of legal challenges from far-left activist judges and groups determined to sabotage his second term in power.
Appearing on The War Room with Steve Bannon, Josh Hammer, Senior Counsel for the Article III project, recently warned that what America is witnessing is not just judicial activism–it’s an outright judicial insurrection.
Attorney Josh Hammer previously noted that the first Trump administration, from 2017 to 2021, faced 65 nationwide injunctions. President Trump, in less than two months, has faced 137 legal challenges by activist judges. Only two cases are closed.
