Republicans Move to Impeach Multiple Federal Judges

Two House Republicans are plotting articles of impeachment against multiple federal judges who they say are unjustly blocking President Donald Trump’s “basic executive authority.”

No less than 18 injunctions have been issued by federal judges pausing Trump’s orders and initiatives, according to a New York Times tracker. Those rulings have come amid more than 40 lawsuits filed to pause the administration’s moves on budget freezes and firings, birthright citizenship, immigration and trans rights, among others.

In response, Trump top adviser and Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk on Wednesday called for "an immediate wave of judicial impeachments." House Republicans are answering the call.

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Az., announced Thursday he’s drawing up impeachment articles against Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York, who last weekend issued temporary restrictions on Musk and DOGE accessing a Treasury Department payment system.

Also Thursday, Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., announced an impeachment resolution against U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. of Rhode Island for his injunction against the Trump administration’s freeze on billions of dollars of federal grants.

“They can’t do that, especially when they have a serious record of Democrat activism and being hardcore against President Trump,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told The Hill. “So, yeah, judges like that, they definitely should be impeached.”

Clyde called McConnell a “partisan activist” over his temporary restraining order (TRO) he issued on Jan. 29 pausing the freeze on federal aid.

Crane called Engelmayer an “activist judge” in an interview with One America News Network.

“Our case for impeaching Judge Engelmayer is basically that he’s an activist judge trying to stop the Trump administration from, you know, executing their, you know, Article 2 powers to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed,” Crane told former GOP lawmaker turned TV host Matt Gaetz.................

Wonder what the outcry would be if the Democrats tried to use the threat of impeachment to change judicial rulings?

I wonder what would happen if all these piss ant judges learned to keep their coloring inside the lines? This might just teach them.

Not the same as just sending people to 'protest' in front of justices' residences...

And I could be wrong, but lawyers are the strongest union.  Start attacking members of that union that have achieved the highest level of achievement, and what happens then?

I can see the Republicans NOT getting the votes they need because 80%+/- of Congress are part of that union of lawyers.  I just do not see this going anywhere.  But the stinking Democommies, they are capable of this measure.

Impeachment isn't being used to change judicial rulings.  It is being used to remove judges who violate their oaths of office.  The Constitution is quite clear on Executive power.
