House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is warning Congress may soon use the appropriations process to punish wayward federal judges who ignore the Supreme Court's precedents, especially when it comes to issuing injunctions that block Trump administration policies.

"There may be ways we can use the power of the purse, which is, again, what the founders thought, that was the biggest power that the legislative branch had relative to the others," Jordan said Monday night on the Just the News, No Noise TV show. "So I think we're looking at that process as it unfolds here over the next three months."

Jordan's statement came the same day a federal judge in Boston blocked the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's provisions to defund Planned Parenthood.

Jordan helped shepherd through the House legislation that would block federal judges from injunctions that extend outside their parties or their local jurisdictions. That bill is now pending in the Senate.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, issued the latest temporary restraining order on Monday, blocking the Planned Parenthood policies.
