Let’s face it, citizens: When a judge with a gavel can override the votes of millions of Americans, something’s gone terribly wrong with our system. Across the country, activist judges have been having a field day, turning their courtrooms into mini-legislatures and their benches into thrones. They’re not interpreting laws anymore — they’re writing them.

And who’s paying the price? The American people who voted for President Trump and his agenda. When citizens cast their ballots in 2024, they knew exactly what Trump promised to do about our border crisis, government efficiency, and national security. But apparently, a handful of judges with lifetime appointments think their personal opinions trump your vote.

So what’s being done about this judicial coup d’état? House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is leading the charge with a bold three-pronged strategy to put these black-robed legislators back in their constitutional lane.

When Gavels Trump Ballots

In just 65 days of President Trump’s second term, federal judges have issued at least 15 nationwide injunctions blocking his administration’s policies. Think about that — a single unelected judge in one district can paralyze policies meant for all 50 states. It’s like having a referee who not only calls the game but rewrites the rulebook halfway through the match.

From ‘Just the News’:

“[When] you have a judge whose behavior is so politically, so political against President Trump, you kind of got to start asking the question, really, is this just a bad judicial decision, or is this based on politics?” Jordan told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on Tuesday.

One particularly troubling case involves Judge James Boasberg of the Washington, D.C., District Court, who blocked Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. This wasn’t just any ruling — it was a direct challenge to presidential authority on matters of national security.

And guess what? This same Judge Boasberg attended a privately-funded legal conference featuring anti-Trump speakers and sponsors. Coincidence? Jordan doesn’t think so.

Congress Fights Back: Jordan’s Judicial Triple Threat

Jordan isn’t just complaining — he’s acting. His committee is advancing a three-pronged approach to restore balance to our constitutional system.

First up is legislation. The “No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025” would limit the scope of injunctions to the parties in the case and their jurisdiction — not the entire nation. As Jordan explained, “When you have one of these federal district judges who issues an injunction, you know, some judge in Timbuktu California issues an injunction, it should only apply to parties in the case and in that respective jurisdiction.”

The bill would create a new pathway for legitimate nationwide injunctions, requiring challenges from three or more states to be heard by a randomly selected three-judge panel. This ensures that momentous decisions affecting the entire country aren’t made by a single judge with potential political biases.

The second prong? The power of the purse. The Constitution gives Congress control over the federal judiciary’s budget. Jordan’s committee is exploring how this appropriations authority can be used to rein in judicial activism.

Finally, there’s oversight. Jordan announced upcoming hearings starting next Tuesday that will put the spotlight on these judicial overreaches. “We’ll focus on the injunction issue, but also into this ruling, this order, from Judge Boasberg, which, I mean, just on its face, is so ridiculous,” Jordan stated.

Restoring Constitutional Balance

This isn’t just about policy disagreements — it’s about preserving America’s constitutional foundation. The Founders designed our government with three co-equal branches, each with distinct roles. When judges start making policy decisions that properly belong to Congress or the Executive, the whole system breaks down.

Some Republicans aren’t waiting for reforms. Representatives like Brandon Gill have filed articles of impeachment against judges they believe have abused their power, including Boasberg. Even President Trump has weighed in, declaring that judges who block his efforts to remove dangerous criminals “should be IMPEACHED!!!”

Jordan’s approach is more measured but no less determined. He’s using Congress’s constitutional authority to check and balance a judiciary that’s forgotten its proper role. And in doing so, he’s standing up for every American whose vote is being nullified by judicial fiat.

Key Takeaways:

• In just 65 days of Trump’s second term, federal judges have issued at least 15 nationwide injunctions blocking his policies.
• Jim Jordan’s three-part plan includes legislation limiting nationwide injunctions, using Congress’s budget authority, and conducting oversight hearings.
• This battle is fundamentally about preserving America’s constitutional system of checks and balances against judicial overreach.
