Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) is set to warn lawmakers about a “potential judicial coup d’etat” during a congressional hearing about overreaching federal judges on Tuesday, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Daily Wire. 
Gingrich will appear at a joint hearing of two House Judiciary Committee subcommittees to testify about the American judicial system and possible remedies to the sweeping judicial orders that have blocked much of President Donald Trump’s agenda. From the firing of probationary workers to the deportations of suspected gang members, federal judges have issued a series of sweeping injunctions restricting the Trump administration’s actions. 
“There is clearly a potential constitutional crisis involving the Judicial Branch’s effort to fully override the Legislative and Executive branches,” a draft of Gingrich’s remarks says. “Fifteen District Judges effectively seized control of various Executive Branch duties in the first six weeks of the current presidency through nationwide injunctions. This is potentially a judicial coup d’etat. It clearly violates the Constitution and more than 200 years of American history.”
Gingrich will appear alongside Heritage Foundation Legal Scholar Paul Larkin and Tren de Aragua victim Cindy Romero during the hearing, which will take place before the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government and the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet.
In his prepared testimony, Gingrich notes that the 15 nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump administration since January 20, 2025, are already more than the six that were issued against George W. Bush, the 12 against Barack Obama, and the 14 against Joe Biden during their time in office. 
According to Gingrich, 92% of the injunctions against Trump have come at the hands of judges appointed by Democratic presidents. 
“The notion that unelected lawyers can micromanage the Executive Branch – and override a Commander in Chief who received 77.3 million votes – should trouble every American,” Gingrich writes.
The former House speaker will call for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to intervene and establish a rule that would require any nationwide injunction issued by a lower court to immediately go to Supreme Court review. 
Gingrich also urged the lawmakers to pass the “No Rogue Rulings Act,” a bill that would restrict judges to only issuing injunctions that apply to the specific parties of the case being heard. The bill was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who chairs the subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government alongside Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). 
A copy of Larkin’s written statement obtained by The Daily Wire indicates that he will focus on the history of the courts in America and judicial practice. 
“The practice of entering nationwide injunctions against the federal government in any case not properly certified as a nationwide class action is both unlawful and Unwise,” a draft of Larkin’s remarks says. “Neither the Constitution, the Judicial Code, nor common-law principles of issue or claim preclusion authorizes a federal court to award relief to individuals who are not parties to a particular ‘Case’ or ‘Controversy.’”
The Trump administration has repeatedly requested the Supreme Court intervene in its battles against federal district court judges. So far, the court has been largely silent, except to reverse a court order instructing the administration to pay out $2 billion to foreign aid contractors.
