“America’s government cannot function if the legitimate orders of our Commander in Chief can be overridden at the whim of a single district court judge,” Lee said.
Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) as well Josh Hawley have put forward legislation that would curb the powers of federal district court judges to enact judicial orders against the executive branch.
Lee’s bill, called the Restraining Judicial Activists Act of 2025, first reported on at the Washington Examiner, seeks to check the powers of district court judges that have ruled against decisions made by the executive branch. The act would create a three-judge court to oversee rulings opposed to actions from the executive branch, such as executive orders.
Lee said of the bill, “America’s government cannot function if the legitimate orders of our Commander in Chief can be overridden at the whim of a single district court judge. We have seen them presume to run the military, the civil service, foreign aid, and HR departments across the Executive Branch — blatantly unconstitutional overreach.”
“My legislation will create a judicial panel to expedite Supreme Court review of these blanket injunctions, preventing unelected radicals in robes from sabotaging the separation of powers,” Lee added. The judges on the panel checking orders made against the executive branch would be chosen by the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The bill states, “No temporary restraining order, stay, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief may be granted” against the executive branch’s decisions unless there is a majority of the three judges on the panel that agree with the action taken by the lower federal judge.
