“Now the only question is whether the Republicans will unite behind a cogent message of keeping legislation within the legislature and place this provision in the budget bill or at least bring it to a vote before the full House and Senate.”

Now that’s a big “whether!”

FINALLY! A light at the end of the tunnel! Please, show us you have a little backbone.......shut down legislating by judges!!

Congressmen are almost all lawyers.
Do you think they’re going to have the average Joe’s best interests in mind if they ever vote on this?

[txnativegop]

I’ll believe it when the Congress passes the bill and the President signs it into law.

but the congress-critters are almost all lawyers and they will not do harm to their fellow lawyers regardless of how much disagreement may exist between the judicial and legislative branches of government.

Yep - make them expedite elevating it to SCOTUS instead of having regional partisan “judges” holding the whole Nation hostage.

Why do we keep writing laws that are already on the books? Why don’t we just enforce the current laws? I DON’T GET IT!

[Svartalfiar]

the House Judiciary Committee is voting this week on a bill that clarifies once and for all that courts do not have the power to issue injunctions against abstract policies and statutes outside the parties before that particular court.

They also should clarify that a judge has ZERO authority outside their jurisdiction. If they want to issue an injunction or something that goes beyond their boundaries, they need to apply to whichever court has that authority to make the 'emergency' injunction.
