They don't have the votes in the House to do this shit, and they certainly don't have the votes in the Senate to remove federal judges. This is all lazy political theater because they know what they're doing is illegal.

Yes, if they want to remove a federal judge, they must impeach him through a majority vote in the House and then they must convict him with a 2/3 vote in the Senate. That's what has to happen. They're welcome to try.
This has become such an UNSERIOUS party.It is SHAMEFUL performance from an increasingly shameful group of incompetent people.They bring such disrespect to a ONCE respected serious-minded country.The world is laughing and our adversaries are salivating.China is on track to lead the world.
Well it’s true that federal judges can be impeached and that impeachment has been successfully used against federal judges more than any other federal employees. But good luck getting two thirds of the Senate to go along with it.
Technically, it's not illegal, since there's no law against freezing federal funds or being appointed to access government data. It may or may not be ethical, but there has to be a law involved for it to be illegal.
It is ABSOLUTELY illegal. There was a law passed in the 70's to prevent this because Nixon did it. It's called "The Impoundment Control Act of 1974", look it up.
They don't have to impeach them. They will just ignore judgements. Who's going to do anything about it? Federal law is enforced by Federal Marshalls who report to the DOJ.
Absolutely. It's all just noise. They know it. We know it. This is the bomb bill that will do them in. All they can do is scream about it. They're stuck with the monster they created.
Is it political theatre, or is it a deliberate attempt to sow mistrust in the one branch of government willing to stand up to the regime so they can eventually justify ignoring it altogether?
We don't have the votes in the house or senate to impeach him either so it's a standoff. Hopefully we pick up some in the special elections? Maybe not, but sure lot better than waiting two years. By then democracy may be finally dead
Elon must have had someone take his civics test for citizenship like he pays gamers to level up his video game characters, cause he is clueless about how our government (supposedly) operates.
We would have had the House & it would be speaker Jeffries if a few brave Democrats had run as full blown MAGA loving candidates, only to switch parties right after being sworn in
Republicans proved this was fair game over the last 4 yrs & I’m disappointed not a single winning “R” made this happen
I understand the tactics behind this suggestion, but it is a problem because it has created & will create even more "muddy waters" on who is being moral & honest.
Ok, so while Democrats keep taking the moral high ground, they can sit back & watch more of this
Flips like this hurt Democrats who no longer trust that the people THEY elect will stay Democrats. A MAGA nut flipping parties loses the trust of no one because they didn’t have it in the first place
Musk doesn't know anything about anything because he's running on 10 hours of sleep this month and a head full of drugs, he's just grabbing any random BS that flies past his eyes in his twitter feed.

There are no rules, are there?
I don't trust them to follow any rules.
Entire agencies are being shut down by Leon.
What rules allow for that?
They will keep pushing the boundaries till someone stops them. Who will?
We the people?
They want to remove judges and they will try. Watch. 😱

It lowers confidence & trust on who to vote for.

It takes an act of impeachment and removal to “fire” a federal judge. 2/3 of the senate & they don’t have that. Period
