U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., introduced a bill Tuesday to stop “woke activist judges” from delaying President Donald Trump’s agenda in what the senator claimed was judicial overreach.

“President Trump has exposed the fact that our courts are full of woke activist judges who think they were elected President. But they were not,” Tuberville said in a statement Tuesday announcing the Judicial Relief Clarification Act of 2025 (JRCA).

“More than 77 million Americans voted for President Trump and his agenda – and liberal judges should not be allowed to issue injunctions on policies they do not agree with,” Alabama’s senior senator continued.

“We need our justice system to focus on upholding the Constitution, not pushing an agenda. If judges have a problem with that, they can run for political office.”

The bill would require parties seeking nationwide relief to file a class action lawsuit.

The bill would also amend the Administrative Procedure Act and the Declaratory Judgment Act to limit courts’ decisions to the parties before them, and make temporary restraining orders (TROs) immediately appealable.

Tuberville is co-sponsoring the bill with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Three times in the past week, and six since Trump took office a little more than two months ago, the Justice Department has asked the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court to step into cases involving lower courts much earlier than usual.

The administration’s use of the emergency appeals, or shadow docket, comes as it faces more than 130 lawsuits over the Republican president’s flurry of executive orders.

Many of the lawsuits have been filed in liberal-leaning parts of the country as the court system becomes ground zero for pushback to his policies.

Federal judges have ruled against the administration more than 40 times, issuing temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, the Justice Department said Friday in a Supreme Court filing.

The issues include birthright citizenship changes, federal spending, transgender rights and deportations under a rarely used 18th-century law.

The administration is increasingly asking the Supreme Court, which Trump helped shape by nominating three justices, to step in, not only to rule in its favor but also to send a message to federal judges, who Trump and his allies claim are overstepping their authority.
