Congress of the AIniter Stateg
Washington, D 20510

May 20, 2025

The Honorable Mike Johnson
Speaker of the House
U.S. House of Representatives
H-232, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Speaker Johnson,

We write to express our deep concern over Setion 70302 of the One Big Beautifil Bill Act Rules
Committee Print 119-3).' This provision would significantly undermine the judiciary's longstanding and
constitutionally grounded authority to enforce contempt citations- a move that would weaken the
separation of powers and pose serious risks to the ule of law in the United States.

As written, Section 70302 would prohibit federal courts from enforcing contempt orders unless the
plaintiff posted a bond at the outset of the case. Courts have long held discretion under Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 65(c) to waive such bonds, especially in public interest cases or when the United States is
the defendant. By conditioning enforcement on the preence of a bond routinely waived by the courts, this
provision would neutralize valid injunctions and leave courts powerless to acet in the face of open
defiance. This provision covers ongoing cases, effectively changing the law midstream, which would
potentially cripple enforcement in cases where judges had no knowledge of the impending change in law
and could not have required a bond in advance in order to comply with this new provision. Even those
who have already been found to be in violation of the law may walk free of any consequence--not
because of the merits of their case, but due to an arbitrary and retroactive restriction.

This is not merely a procedural concern, and this language has nothing to do with the federal budget.It
strikes at the very core of judicial authority that is granted in our Constitution.

This provision would impact hundreds of cases, including many in which the government is the plaintif.
Currently, more than 130 school desegregation orders, ongoing civil rights ases, and critical regulatory
cases co…

Judge Boasberg has Issued a "Show Cause" Order in the Alien Enemies Act Case

There's a long process to hold someone in contempt, and a "Show Cause" order is a big and necessary step to that end.

#trump doesn't care about #ContemptOfCourt if he ignores rulings

He can't be charged, can't be arrested, #gop in #Congress refuse to impeach him

Judges can't do ANYTHING if he doesn't abide by their rulings

Welcome to the Empire.

#rudygiuliani defense in his next #defamation #ContemptOfCourt trial seems to be "but I only did it for 92 seconds"

So his defense against the crime is to admit to the crime?

Nebraska Republican #MikeFlood caught hell from the public over the House bid to eliminate penalties by #FederalJudges over #ContemptOfCourt, thereby curbing our exercise of ConstitutionalRights.

Maddow Blog | Republican admits he voted for the GOP megabill, though key elements were ‘unknown’ to him

Why did Rep. Mike Flood vote for a bill that set out to undermine the court system to benefit Donald Trump? Because he hadn't read the legislation.
