The Battle Over Rule-Making
In a provocative legislative maneuver, attorney and activist Jonathon Moseley has introduced the “Restoring Constitutional Mandate for Congress to Set Rules for the Federal Courts Act,” a bill that would repeal the century-old Rules Enabling Act. The act currently empowers the Supreme Court to set procedural rules for federal courts, but Moseley argues this framework has enabled unchecked judicial bias, especially in cases involving Donald Trump and his allies.
Moseley characterizes the current system as a “judicial coup” where courts wield excessive political influence over executive actions. He calls for Congress to reclaim its constitutional role, arguing that the courts’ increasing hostility toward Trump is not just partisan but a threat to due process itself. His bill is framed as a defense against what he sees as a judiciary hijacked by ideology.

The push is more than symbolic. Backed by RFK Jr., who serves as Health and Human Services Secretary, and supported by the Patriot Legal Defense Fund, the legislation seeks to awaken Republican lawmakers to what proponents describe as a crisis of legitimacy in the federal court system.
Courts in Crisis?
Critics point to cases such as the treatment of January 6 defendants and rulings in immigration disputes—like that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—as signs of deepening judicial overreach. These examples, Moseley argues, show a court system acting to advance a political agenda rather than uphold the law. He warned, “The judiciary has really turned into fighting a war against Donald Trump and what he stands for.”
Past friction between Trump and the courts includes the Supreme Court’s frustration over noncompliance with deportation orders involving Venezuelan detainees. Legal experts now say the U.S. is “dancing on the edge” of a constitutional crisis, with increasingly hostile rulings creating a collision between branches of government.
RFK Jr. and others have emphasized that if Congress does not act to rebalance power, the judiciary could become a de facto political enforcer. “If these judges can stop Trump, they can stampede over all of us,” Moseley warned.
Restoring the Balance
Moseley’s call to action is both legislative and grassroots. He urges Americans to contact Republican lawmakers and demand action on the bill. He also appeals for donations to the Patriot Legal Defense Fund, which is supporting high-profile defendants facing what it claims are politically motivated charges.
The core argument is about restoring fairness. Supporters say the judiciary must return to a role defined by impartiality, not politics. “The Supreme Court is basically one step away from holding Trump in contempt over something it’s impossible to implement,” Moseley said, citing ongoing legal battles.
If successful, the bill would mark a profound shift in how federal court procedures are created and enforced—one that its proponents argue is necessary to preserve constitutional balance and safeguard civil liberties for all Americans.
