Will Trump’s autopen executive order de-bench 237 leftist federal judges (including Ketanji Brown Jackson)?
American Thinker ^ | 11/29/2025 | Andrea Widburg

On Thursday, I wrote that leftist judges on the bench are creating a form of tyranny, for they have arrogated to themselves the constitutional power of the Executive branch of government. There is no more balance. According to the Democrat appointees on the bench, none of Trump’s actions are solely within the discretion of the democratically elected chief executive. Instead, all are subject to judicial review and approval.

The day after I wrote that essay, Trump issued a statement via Truth Social voiding every document that was signed with an Autopen during Joe Biden’s presidency and threatening Biden along the way: (snip)

Voiding all of Biden’s Autopen signatures doesn’t just end policy Executive Orders. In theory, it also ends every judicial nomination Biden made, from Ketanji Brown Jackson on down. (snip)

Naturally, the matter will end up before the Supreme Court, and that’s where things get interesting. Jackson will have to recuse herself, leaving a six-to-two conservative majority. If the conservative justices were like leftists and ruled solely according to their political orientation, all those leftist federal judges, including Jackson, would be gone.

Biden will just say he authorized it. The person who did it will say they had Biden’s permission.

It's not as easy as that.

Legally, I believe you need a written explicit authorization.

“Legally, I believe you need a written explicit authorization.”

There is no precedent.

There is no law.

If it begins to look like it would be successful, the feckless & impotent GOP would immediately surrender to the communists...

“Fraud vitiates everything” (I realize it was an opinion by a judge and not part of the settlement). The Auto-Pen was done fraudulently. I would think there is basis to void everything done by Auto-Pen. Then again I dont trust Roberts.

My copy of the Constitution is missing the part that says a President can remove confirmed federal judges by Executive Order.

Executive Orders are, by definition, orders given by the President to employees of the Executive Branch. Confirmed federal district and circuit judges, as well as Supreme Court justices, are all employees of the Judicial Branch. He literally can't order them to do anything.

Not how it works.

Never mind - they're on a roll. Don't confuse them with the facts or the law.

Two things come to my mind:

1. It generates a cloud of suspicion over her nomination and confirmation. That cloud will never go away.

2. I thought Executive Orders applied only to the Executive Branch. Her “confirmation” is a Judicial Branch item.

They were sworn in, regardless how they got there, no. Just like Biden.

No. There are forgery laws.

The use of an autopen without explicit authorization is a crime.

“The use of an autopen without explicit authorization is a crime. “

Verbal authorization is adequate.

Like I said, Biden and the principal will just say he authorized it.
