TELL THE SENATE: Trump’s war on the federal judiciary is getting a boost
in the Senate. The GOP’s big budget bill would strip power from federal
judges to hold Trump admin officials accountable for defying court orders
— making it even easier for Trump to break the law. Sign the petition:
Stop Trump’s anti-democracy power grab!

Hi,
Trump’s war on judges and push for authoritarianism just got a major boost
in the Senate.
The GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee adopted a dangerous, anti-democracy
provision from the House’s disastrous budget bill that takes power from
federal judges and hands it directly to the Trump administration.^1
The judiciary has been one of the strongest checks on Trump’s power over
the last five months. Any Republican attempt to take authority away from
federal judges is an obvious move to clear the way for Trump to break the
law and execute a further authoritarian takeover.

The provision in Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” would strip federal judges
of the power to hold Trump administration officials in contempt when they
defy court orders.^2
Federal judges have already ruled against Trump at least 170 times since
he took office for his second term.^3 Trump’s willingness to break the law
should never receive the backing of our elected lawmakers in Congress, who
are supposed to act as another co-equal branch of government and a check
on Trump’s power.
The battle between Trump and the courts could tilt the scales between
democracy and authoritarianism. As Trump wages all-out war on judges and
defies court orders, we can’t let the GOP hand Trump any more advantages.
