Rep. Roy fights against radical progressive Democrats’ judicial power grab

WASHINGTON, D.C. -On Tuesday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) sent a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-4) thanking Chairman Jordan for working with him to stand against radical progressive Democrats' efforts to hijack the federal court system, usurp Congress' constitutional powers, and disenfranchise countless American citizens.

The Judicial Conference, the supervisory body of the federal court system, is attempting to engage in a thinly veiled, ideological power grab intended to hamstring states' ability to fight back against the federal government in court by prohibiting single-judge divisions from hearing certain cases.Representative Roy is encouraging the House Judiciary Committee to continue to block any legislation supported by the Judicial Conference until it reverses course.

In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Representative Roy wrote, "it is critical for the House Judiciary Committee to protect against unlawful left-wing activism - whether it is packing the courts or a backdoor judicial rule-making exercise designed to stop judges from carrying out their duty according to current congressional enacted law."

"I have greatly appreciated working with you and Judiciary Committee staff this summer to ensure that the Committee refuses to move legislation supported by the Judicial Conference until it abandons this dangerous proposal to disenfranchise Texans and other Americans," Roy added."This clearly is rooted in the desire of a few progressive democrats to limit states like Texas' ability to halt federal actions that adversely impact Texans, including the work of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton."

More background (via The Federalist):

• "Earlier this year, the Judicial Conference issued'advisory guidelines' to all the nation's district courts, recommending that all cases be randomly assigned throughout the district in which they are filed - regardless of the division that actually receives the filing."

• "Now, just weeks before a monumental election, leftists have once again ramped up their efforts to ram through a rulein the Rules Committee of the Judicial Conference that would make the previously 'advisory' guidance outright mandatory, thus caving to the demands of, among others, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the Biden Justice Department."
