Rose Seeks to Protect Trump from Accountability

6th District Congressman John Rose (who represents Sumner County) has filed legislation that would take away the power of the Judicial branch to hold Presidents accountable.

Apparently, Rose needs to take a Civics class at a high school in his district where he would learn that each branch of government (Executive, Judicial, and Legislative) are equal. He'd learn the importance of checks and balances. Sadly, he's content to be a rubber stamp for this President while also working to remove further accountability by way of judicial oversight.

MORE from the Hendersonville Standard:

I am proud to file H.R.4219 as my first bill, because nationwide injunctions impact every one of us. The bill is an effort to curtail nationwide injunctions, which have the potential to severely restrict new government policies. It is a harmful trend and a practice that must be stopped.

Broad injunctions have unfair and detrimental effects. In fact, President Trump has already been impacted by close to 40 nationwide injunctions over the course of his past two years and eight months in office.

Here's the deal: Injunctions don't stop a President from exercising their authority. All an injunction does is prevent enforcement of an executive action until judicial review can be complete. In some cases, actions initiated by President Trump have been found to otherwise comply with the law and are allowed to proceed. In others, certain modifications are necessary.

What Rose doesn't tell you is that his legislation would remove this accountability -- and give even more power to ANY President, Republican or Democrat.
