The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday to limit federal district judges’ ability to affect Trump administration policies on a national scale.

The No Rogue Rulings Act, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., passed the House and limits district courts’ power to issue U.S.-wide injunctions, instead forcing them to focus their scope on the parties directly affected in most cases.

All but one Republican lawmaker voted for the bill, which passed 219 to 213. No Democrats voted in favor.

The Trump administration has faced more than 15 nationwide injunctions since the Republican commander-in-chief took office, targeting a wide range of President Donald Trump’s policies, from birthright citizenship reform to anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

    Democrats can choose to start physically impending the legislative process whenever they feel like pushing back against the coup.

    I keep watching the Neoliberals, and for some reason they aren’t doing anything that STOPS what is happening.

      They might consider doing it eventually. I suspect the heat death of the universe will come first, though.

        I don’t care if he cheated or whatever (has hinted at cheating multiple times)

        He’s massively overreached the powers of his job.

        When that happens it’s called tyrannical.
