Grassley Challenges Senate Democrats’ Promotion of Unchecked Judicial Power, Vows to Take Legislative Action

Judiciary WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today challenged Democrats’ continued refusal to acknowledge the judicial branch’s constitutional limits.

In response to Ranking Member Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) request for unanimous consent on a resolution demanding the executive branch comply with all federal court rulings, Grassley offered amendments to reflect the limits of judicial power. Grassley’s amendments affirmed that the executive branch must comply with all lawful federal court rulings. Durbin objected to the commonsense amendments.

Grassley further spoke on the recent uptick in sweeping and potentially lawless orders issued by individual district judges and reaffirmed the Senate Judiciary Committee’s intent to take action.

“The President of the United States shouldn’t have to ask permission from more than 600 different district judges to manage the executive branch he was elected to lead… The practice of sweeping nationwide injunctions, broad restraining orders and judicial policymaking must end. It’s unconstitutional, it’s anti-democratic and it’s imprudent. If the Supreme Court won’t stop it, Congress must,” Grassley said. MORE

  1. Here’s hoping Grassley carries through for a change. I like a lot of what he says, and I try to like the man, but he makes it hard, especially when it comes to agribidniss.

  2. Yesterday morning on FOX News they had some dumb ass Asian Constitutional attorney defending these judges. And at the end of his very impressive smooth spiel Trace Gallagher, of all people, asks the moron, is it the judiciaries place to tell the executive branch who they have to hire. Reply, uh err. Next question from Trace, it seems the judiciary is trying to control executive branch policy? I think the stupid fucking attorney offed himself after that one. End of segment. Trace Gallagher’s made a rep out of being a never Trumper, but that was pretty damn spot on.

  3. ^^^^^ You know it’s bad when the 9th says, you niggas are crazy. LOL. No racial innuendo intended. But that’s happened twice in a weeks span. It’s a full on assault by anti American judges that have NGO’s set up with family members so they get rich out of my wallet. That ships sailed bitches.

  4. They “vow” a lot.

    About the same amount they send “strongly-worded letters”, and with their monologues, “eviscerate” witnesses who don’t get a chance to respond in hearings.

    Just slightly less than their campaign speeches in which they proclaim what “needs to happen” but not any actions or plan or specific steps to be taken for how to accomplish what “needs to happen.”
