Impeaching judges: Elon Musk, GOP threats are a risky political spectacle

www.huffpost.com Impeaching Judges: Elon Musk, GOP Threats Are A Risky Political Spectacle

As the calls to impeach judges escalate, experts worry about the effect on the courts.

Summary

Elon Musk and Republican lawmakers have recently called for impeaching federal judges who ruled against Trump policies, labeling them "corrupt" and part of "judicial tyranny."

These threats followed rulings that temporarily blocked Trump's executive orders on gender ideology and federal funding freezes.

Experts call this "anti-democratic theater," noting that impeachment requires high crimes or treason and Senate supermajority approval.

While unlikely to succeed, these threats come amid increasing violence against judges and may intimidate the judiciary from checking executive power.

So…what are we gonna do about it? Keep seeing so many things that we ALL know is wrong, yet all we do is wring our hands which accomplishes nothing.
- This one at least can be prevented by the Democrats who some of us voted for.
- We need our own maidan uprising in this country

It’s all fucking theater to these chodes. We are at the part where they lie to create a new reality to feed to their rabid cult followers and create more of a divide between us while they steal more of our money and power.
