No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ONDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the No Rogue Rulings Act.

Historically, district court rulings only applied to the parties before the court, but over the past 15 years, district courts have increasingly asserted that their rulings apply nationwide, interfering with the legitimate Article II powers of the President of the United States.

We are experiencing a constitutional crisis, a judicial coup d'etat. In February alone, district judges issued more nationwide injunctions against President Trump than against Bush, Obama, and Biden during their entire administrations.

District judges from Democratic jurisdictions are preventing the President from fulfilling his duty to keep us safe.

Last night, the Supreme Court called out judge shopping and reversed an order issued by a Democrat-appointed D.C. judge that blocked the Trump administration from removing violent Venezuelan gang members from our country. The Supreme Court said that this case should never have been brought in D.C. but rather in Texas where the individuals can file individual petitions challenging their individual cases.

The Supreme Court can and should rein in these rogue courts. In the meantime, the No Rogue Rulings Act rebalances the separation of powers as the Founders intended.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this critical legislation.
