Congress and the Federal Courts

Speaker Mike Johnson signaled he would support impeachments of “activist” judges, explicitly naming Judge James Boasberg, prompting House conservatives to revive impeachment efforts, add co-sponsors and coordinate with Johnson’s team. The White House has likewise embraced impeaching judges it calls “rogue,” linking that backing to the Senate Judiciary inquiry into Boasberg and Deborah Boardman, while GOP leaders say the push supplements—not replaces—earlier legislation to curb nationwide injunctions.
