Congressman Suhas Subramanyam Blasts Republicans on the House Floor on Their Bill to Weaken the Judicial System and Embolden President Trump

April 8, 2025 Press Release   Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) took to the House floor to blast Republicans for their so-called No Rogue Rulings Act which would remove power from our district courts and allow President Trump and his administration to act without any restraint or respect for the rule of law. “This bill is simply another loyalty bill for the president–up there with naming airports after him and putting his face on Mount Rushmore,” said Congressman Subramanyam . “Loyalty to a president should not supersede the rule of law or loyalty to uphold the Constitution. This bill doesn’t just take power away from judges, it takes away the power from every American. I urge my colleagues to vote against this legislation.” Copied below please find remarks as prepared for delivery. Video footage of his remarks may be downloaded here . Mr./Madam Speaker, Let’s be clear. The administration has broken the law repeatedly. That’s why there have been so many injunctions. To stop the law breaking. These injunctions were celebrated by the other side when they stopped actions under previous Democratic administrations. But now that President Trump is in office, this bill essentially helps the president skirt the law. I get asked a lot these days: What happens when this president ignores the courts? Wouldn’t we have a constitutional crisis on our hands? Well, this bill makes it easier for the president’s actions to go unchecked. And by blocking nationwide injunctions, people will be powerless to quickly stop illegal and unconstitutional actions. This bill is simply another loyalty bill for the President – up there with naming airports after him and putting his face on Mount Rushmore. Loyalty to a president should not supersede the rule of law or loyalty to uphold the Constitution. This bill doesn’t just take power away from judges, it takes away the power from every American. I urge my colleagues to vote against this legislation. I yield back. ### Issues : Congress
