Here you go, you knew it was coming, the removal of judicial review. More analysis upcoming soon.

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

What it says:

“No court shall have jurisdiction to review any action taken by the Secretary, the EPA Administrator, a State or municipal agency, or any other Federal agency […] to issue a lease, permit, biological opinion, or other approval.”

What it means:

- If the government approves drilling, mining, or development, even illegally, you can’t sue.

- It applies retroactively, killing lawsuits already in progress.

- Tribes, environmental groups, citizens, even states, lose the right to challenge these approvals in court.

Why it matters:

This guts judicial review, a cornerstone of U.S. democracy. Courts are the only check on executive overreach. This section erases that check for some of the most destructive decisions the government can make.
