Speaker Johnson: Trump’s Bill Restricts the Federal Courts’ Ability to Enforce Some Injunctions

‘We bothered to stick it in because that’s our responsibility in Congress and it was meant to restrict activist judges’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “It is about separation of powers. And, right now, you have activist judges, a handful of them around the country, who are abusing that power. They're issuing these nationwide injunctions. They're -- they're engaging in political acts from the bench. And that is not what our system is intended for. And people have lost their -- their -- their faith in our system of justice. We have to restore it.”
