LWVUS Press Release 4.10.25
The League of Women Voters CEO Celina Stewart released the following statement after the US House of Representatives passed the "No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025.”
"The passage of the No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA) is an ideological attack on the checks and balances of our Constitution. When the League of Women Voters called on Congress to stand in their constitutional authority and defend the Constitution, they missed the point.
"This legislation is a political attempt to restrain and block our federal courts from their constitutional responsibility. The President, regardless of party affiliation, nominates federal judges, and the US Senate confirms them. Judges appointed to the federal bench are independent bodies that review executive and legislative actions to determine their constitutionality. This is a simple process that has been in place for centuries.
"The League believes that all powers of the US government should be exercised within the constitutional framework to protect the balance among the three branches of government. Collectively, the government must work together to be responsive to the people and safeguard the individual liberties established within the Constitution. Passage of this bill by the US House is an overreach on the part of the legislative branch, and we urge the US Senate to reject this legislation when it comes to the floor."
