IN FULL:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is scheduled to address a congressional hearing on Tuesday, emphasizing what he perceives as a “potential judicial coup d’etat.” Gingrich’s remarks focus on concerns over anti-Trump federal judges’ broad use of injunctions, which he contends have obstructed several aspects of President Donald Trump’s policy initiatives. The story was first reported by the Daily Wire.

The hearing will occur with Gingrich testifying alongside Heritage Foundation legal scholar Paul Larkin and Cindy Romero, known for her experience with the Tren de Aragua gang. The joint session, organized by two House Judiciary Committee subcommittees, will examine federal judiciary practices.

Since the commencement of President Trump’s term on January 20, 2025, Gingrich notes that 15 nationwide injunctions have been imposed—more than under past administrations. In his testimony, Gingrich points out that 92 percent of these are linked to judges appointed by Democratic presidents. These judicial actions represent a challenge to the Executive Branch’s independence, as well as extreme overreach from unelected judges.

Recognizing the extent of the issue, Gingrich urges Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to implement a policy where any federal court’s nationwide injunction should be reviewed by the Supreme Court immediately. Furthermore, he supports proposed legislation called the “No Rogue Rulings Act,” which limits judges to injunctions relevant only to the parties involved in a case. This bill was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, with Rep. Chip Roy’s assistance.

Paul Larkin, in his written statement, underscores that issuing nationwide injunctions in cases lacking proper certification as a nationwide class action is neither legally supported nor prudent. He critiques these actions for extending judicial decisions beyond the parties directly involved.

The administration under Trump has consistently sought Supreme Court intervention regarding these judicial impediments, though up to now, the highest court has seldom acted, aside from overturning an order related to foreign aid funds.
