GOP Wants To Impeach Judges Who Block Trump ― But Were Happy When It Was Biden
HuffPost
Republicans are acting so mad that federal judges are issuing injunctions that stymie Trump's plans. They celebrated when judges did this to his Democratic predecessors.
WASHINGTON ― In April 2023, dozens of Republicans in Congress threw their support behind a conservative U.S. district judge who issued a sweeping injunction aimed at overturning the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone.
A year earlier, six Republican-led states celebrated a national injunction against President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan.
“This is a big win for our office and for Americans across the country,” said then-Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is now a U.S. senator. “And we will keep up the fight.”
But now that some of President Donald Trump’s policy plans are being stymied by similar court orders, GOP lawmakers are crying foul ― vowing to take extreme actions against judges who issue injunctions to rein in the president’s everywhere-all-at-once lawlessness.
Some are threatening to impeach so-called “activist” judges, which are really just judges who don’t rule in Trump’s favor, and haul them before Congress for questioning. Others are calling for eliminating or defunding any federal courts that dare rule against the Trump administration, which critics are denouncing as yet another brazen attack against the rule of law.
