Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas pushed back on the "egregious abuse" of federal actors attempting to circumvent congressional authority by influencing judicial policy, according to a Monday letter obtained exclusively by Blaze News.

In the letter addressed to Robin Rosenberg, who chairs the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules, Roy points out that Congress is actively considering legislation that would improve the effectiveness of the judiciary. At the same time, the committee is aiming to get rid of single-judge divisions for political convenience, according to the letter.

"The Administrative Office of the Courts is asking Congress to expand judgeships while simultaneously taking steps to usurp congressional authority by disempowering single-judge divisions," Roy said in the letter. "As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to block any Administrative Office of the Courts priority until it stops the misguided attack."

'If your committee does not appreciate the legal and separation-of-powers issues at play, I hope it will at least recognize the political issues,' Roy said.

"It appears that your committee is upset that certain litigants that do not check the correct ideological box are filing lawsuits in single-judge divisions and finding success," Roy said in the letter. "This is a strange time for concern, given that the ideological left has long brought suits in courthouses where home state senators ensure a left-of-center judiciary."

Roy also noted in the letter that former President Donald Trump had more injunctions against him than President Joe Biden, stifling claims of judicial bias against left-wingers.

"Why be concerned now instead of then?" Roy asked.

Roy says that Rosenberg cannot expect Congress to work alongside the committee if the committee is simultaneously trying to circumvent Congress.

"If your committee does not appreciate the legal and separation-of-powers issues at play, I hope it will at least recognize the political issues," Roy said in the letter. "The courts cannot reasonably expect Congress to approve a significant number of additional judges while undermining congressional authority."

"If you don't hold up your end of the bargain, don't ask us to hold up ours," Roy said in the letter. "I cannot in good conscience support legislation — as a Texan, or as a member of the House Judiciary Committee and Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution — that expands the number of federal judges unless the Rules Committee, under your leadership, remedies this egregious abuse of authority."

The Advisory Committee on Civil Rules did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
