Trump-backed bill to stop 'rogue' judges passes House
House lawmakers advanced a bill to block district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions in most cases.
The No Rogue Rulings Act, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., passed the House and limits district courts' power to issue U.S.-wide injunctions, instead forcing them to focus their scope on the parties directly affected in most cases.
All but one Republican lawmaker voted for the bill, which passed 219 to 213. No Democrats voted in favor.
Despite its success in the House, however, the legislation does face uncertain odds in the Senate, where it needs at least several Democrats to hit the chamber's 60-vote threshold.
