From Fox News: 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.


The lone Republican who voted against the bill was Rep. Michael Turner of Ohio.

The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate, where it faces an uncertain future, as several Democrats would need to cross the aisle to help it reach the 60-vote threshold.

Earlier on Wednesday, Rep. Issa announced, “President Trump has endorsed my No Rogue Rulings bill – activist judges have been put on notice!”

Issa wrote after the bill passed, “We took on the activist judges and their rogue rulings. Now it’s on to the Senate to send this to the desk of @realDonaldTrump.”
