The U.S. House of Representatives passed the No Rogue Rulings Act (April 9, 2025) to prohibit a single district court judge from issuing nationwide injunctions. U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) voted in favor of the legislation.
“In the past few decades, the number of nationwide injunctions that halt presidential actions has dramatically increased. A single district court judge should not have the kind of power to direct national policy,” said Johnson. “This bill ensures national court rulings are the result of a collaborative effort between multiple judges.”
The No Rogue Rulings Act:
- Returns policy decisions to the democratically elected branches of government, Congress and the President, fostering a government that works for the people and preserves the rule of law.
- In truly national cases when two or more states located in different judicial districts challenge executive actions, a randomly selected three-judge panel may issue a nationwide injunction—but only after weighing the interest of justice, the risk of irreparable harm to non-parties, and the preservation of the Constitutional separation of powers. In such cases, the parties may appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
