Mace Votes to Rein in Rogue Judges, Restore Balance Between the Branches

(Washington, D.C., April 10, 2025)– Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) voted to pass H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025, legislation introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (CA-48) to stop activist judges from unilaterally blocking the executive branch from carrying out its constitutional duties. The bill passed the House with strong Republican support.

Over the last few years, unelected activist judges have repeatedly blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure the border, root out wasteful spending, and strengthen national security. The No Rogue Rulings Act puts a stop to these rogue rulings by restoring constitutional boundaries and ensuring that lower court judges can no longer dictate national policy from the bench.

“Unelected judges should never have the power to override the will of the American people,” said Rep. Mace. “We passed this bill to restore constitutional balance and rein in a judicial branch that’s gotten far too comfortable playing politics. One district judge in one state should not be able to block the president from enforcing our laws nationwide.”

The bill clarifies that lower court rulings cannot bind non-parties to a case, ensures that no single district court can block national policy, and creates a three-judge panel process for certain injunctions, which can be directly appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The legislation includes an exception for certified class action lawsuits.

This is a major step in reasserting the separation of powers and restoring the people’s voice in our democratic process.
