Overview

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled limited interest among GOP leaders in pursuing judicial impeachments, citing high procedural and political hurdles.
  • The No Rogue Rulings Act, passed by the House and now pending in the Senate, seeks to restrict federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.
  • Johnson acknowledged impeachment remains technically on the table but described it as highly unlikely due to historical rarity and a divided Senate.
  • President Trump and some Republican allies continue to push for the impeachment of Judge James Boasberg over rulings on deportation policies, though support is limited.
  • Judicial leaders warn that impeachment threats and court restructuring proposals risk undermining judicial independence and public trust.
