Re “Rogue rulings create credibility crisis in courts” (May 5): Interesting to read Rep. Darrell Issa’s piece on the “malfunction” in the federal judiciary system and his desire to limit the judiciary’s ability to determine what’s legal and constitutional. Most of the rulings that he is referring to are addressing executive orders (not laws) that the president has created and signed without input from the other co-equal branch of government, the legislative branch — Issa’s branch.
Instead of limiting the judiciary, maybe Mr. Issa and others in Congress should actually do their jobs and write legislation to address the issues facing Americans rather than ceding their own authority, trying to limit another branch’s authority, and allowing executive orders and Project 2025 to drive the entire process. Refer to Civics 101 and “Schoolhouse Rock” for a reminder: Congress writes the legislation, the president signs or vetoes the laws, the judiciary checks to ensure that they are legal/constitutional.
