House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is warning Congress may soon use the appropriations process to punish wayward federal judges who ignore the Supreme Court’s precedents, especially when it comes to issuing injunctions that block Trump administration policies.
“There may be ways we can use the power of the purse, which is, again, what the founders thought, that was the biggest power that the legislative branch had relative to the others,” Jordan said Monday night on the Just the News, No Noise TV show. “So I think we’re looking at that process as it unfolds here over the next three months.”
Jordan’s statement came the same day a federal judge in Boston blocked the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act’s provisions to defund Planned Parenthood.
Last month, justices on the Supreme Court voted to narrow the scope of such lower court injunctions.
President Donald Trump praised the higher court’s decision following the ruling on TRUTH Social.
“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court!” he wrote. “Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process. Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ.”
The justices found that the lower courts had likely exceeded their authority by imposing universal injunctions against Trump’s executive orders.
