House Passes Bill to Limit Federal Judges’ Power Amid Trump’s Criticism
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill aimed at curbing the power of federal judges, a move spurred by former President Donald Trump's ongoing criticism of the judiciary. The legislation, which received significant backing from Trump, seeks to prevent what its supporters call 'rogue judges' from issuing nationwide injunctions that can halt federal policies.
The bill, known as the National Injunction Reform Act, passed with a narrow margin, reflecting the deep partisan divide on the issue. Proponents argue that it will restore balance to the judicial system by limiting the scope of judicial overreach. Critics, however, warn that it could undermine the ability of courts to check executive power, a cornerstone of American democracy.
This legislative action comes at a time when Trump has repeatedly attacked the judiciary, accusing judges of bias and overstepping their authority. The bill's passage is seen as a direct response to these criticisms and an attempt to align the judiciary more closely with the executive branch's agenda.
