Defend Congress's constitutional authority to set its own rules and proceedings.

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing this amicus brief to defend Congress’s institutional prerogatives and protect the constitutional balance that safeguards our democracy.

Nadler says he will continue supporting an amicus brief to defend Congress's authority over its own rules and proceedings in Texas v. Bondi.

"If upheld, this case would deal a devastating blow to Congress’s constitutional authority to determine its own rules and proceedings, authority that is fundamental to the separation of powers," said Representative Nadler. The release says the members filed an amicus brief to defend Congress’ authority in Texas v. Bondi.

Nadler took a concrete, public step in court filings to defend Congress’s constitutional authority over its own rules and proceedings. This is strong evidence of active effort, but not final delivery of a policy change.

The brief argues that the Constitution grants Congress broad authority to set its own rules of operation and proceedings, and warns that judicial interference would undercut that authority.

This filing is direct documentary evidence that Nadler and allies formally pressed the constitutional claim in litigation, showing substantial effort but not an achieved end-state.

Nadler released a statement after voting against final passage of the Surface Transportation Reauthorization bill during committee markup.

This shows Nadler remained active in committee process and proceedings in late May 2026, but the cited action is not directly about the claim’s constitutional-rules issue.
