About this listen
In a heated House Judiciary Committee meeting, lawmakers debated three controversial bills with major implications for the justice system. The Promptly Ending Political Prosecutions and Executive Retaliation Act (H.R. 1789) sparked fierce partisan debate over presidential immunity and the risk of a two-tiered justice system. Meanwhile, the Judges Act of 2025 gained bipartisan support as a response to overwhelming caseloads, though political tensions loomed over judicial appointments. Finally, the No Rogue Rulings Act (H.R. 1526) aimed to curb nationwide injunctions by single judges, fueling arguments over judicial overreach and executive power. Tune in as we break down the key takeaways from this critical discussion on the future of the judiciary.
