Republicans Seek to Slap Down Activist Judges, Curtail Universal Injunctions: Jarrett Stepman/The Daily Signal
- Activist judges have courted disaster with abusive nationwide injunctions to stop policies they don’t like.
- Unlike the executive and legislative branches, the courts have only their reputation to give them power. With the recent spate of overzealous universal injunctions, some prominent members of Congress are threatening to intervene.
- It was only a matter of time. Activist judges in lower-level courts are pulling a reverse Marbury v. Madison. They are directly challenging the power of the executive and legislative branches, claiming power they don’t have, and are paralyzing the proper function of federal government.
- The Supreme Court has in the pastcalled universal injunctions proper in only under the most “extraordinary” circumstances. Now, activist judges are making them ordinary and are creating a crisis of their own making.
- Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote in The Wall Street Journal Mondaythat he has proposed legislation to deeply curtail the use of national injunctions. (Jarrett Stepman/The Daily Signal)
Audio: Judge Andrew Napolitano/Your News Talk America 4/10/25)
- HB 2827: The Homeschool Act (Illinois):
- The parental right “to direct the upbringing and education of children under their control” was recognizedby the U.S. Supreme Court 100 years ago.
- Requires parents to register their children if they choose to homeschool them. This is so the teacher’s unions know which homes to target. It is like an education Gestapo. And you believed our problems would be solved by ending the DOE – inside the Great Satan in Washington.
- Truancy officers will be dispatched to the homes of children who are not registered with the State to be interviewed. This is so they can assess the parents or grandparents influence on them.
- Parents may be required to submit their lesson plans and proof of completed work to the local school district (AKA – The teachers union).
- Parents who fail or refuse to register their children can face 30-days in prison. They are threatening home educators with prison unless they bow to at the altar of satan.
