🚨🇺🇸 Capitol Hill Divided as U.S. Courts Act of 2025 Ignites Constitutional Debate 🇺🇸⚖️

A political firestorm is unfolding in Washington after Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. John Neely Kennedy introduced the U.S. Courts Act of 2025, legislation designed to prohibit federal courts from enforcing foreign legal systems when they conflict with constitutional protections.

Supporters say the bill draws a firm line in defense of civil liberties. They argue that no American should be subject to rulings rooted in laws — including religious legal codes such as Sharia — if those standards undermine free speech, equal protection, or religious freedom as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Kennedy emphasized that while religious belief is protected, punishments or legal standards that violate constitutional rights cannot be recognized in American courts.

Critics, however, warn the framing of the legislation risks inflaming cultural tensions and stigmatizing communities. Some argue that existing legal safeguards already prevent unconstitutional rulings and question whether the proposal is necessary or politically motivated.

Recent polling suggests a majority of Americans support banning enforcement of foreign doctrines that contradict constitutional protections, adding momentum to the measure as hearings approach.

As debate intensifies on Capitol Hill, the broader question looms: where is the line between protecting religious liberty and reinforcing constitutional supremacy? With lawmakers preparing for a contentious battle, the issue is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched legal debates of the year.
