After Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg issued an order Saturday halting President Donald Trump’s rapid deportation of Venezuelan gang members, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill swiftly announced plans to file articles of impeachment in an effort to remove him.
Gill made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, noting he would be filing the motion this week. In a subsequent tweet from Elon Musk, the entrepreneur turned Trump advisor responded simply, “Necessary.”
“The very worst judges — those who repeatedly flout the law — should at least be put to an impeachment vote, whether that vote succeeds or not,” Musk followed up in a separate post on X Monday. […]
Boasberg’s ruling came in response to a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and left-wing legal advocacy group Democracy Forward. The lawsuit alleged that Trump’s intent to use his “wartime authority” to deport dangerous illegal immigrants was unlawful, since the U.S. is not in the midst of a “declared war.” …

He can also get fired for misconduct and corruption based on what he has done and past performance!
Demanding the return of deported gang members?
What a weird hill to die on…
And quite an ignominious death too.
They could disband this treasonous prick’s court and he would be gone. Simple majority both houses and it could be done in weeks. No one who matters has even brought it up.
The House can eliminate his entire court with a simple majority. WTF is Johnson doing?
Sorry. The Congress.
Along with the Senate if it can get past a possible filibuster. Then Trump would sign it into law.
IIRC, impeachment and removal of a federal judge takes a simple majority of the House and a 2/3s vote in the Senate.
Thanks.
I like that too!It’s what I’m saying. Good clarification!
My understanding is that there is only 1 way to remove a federal judge. I.e., 2/3 Senate vote preceded by the House voting to impeach.
Getting fired for misconduct involves a complaint to the chief judge of the circuit. Subsequently a committee of judges determines whether the questionable judge's behavior/actions warrant a reprimand or referral to Congress for impeachment. Here again, it comes down to Congress impeaching and removing the said judge.
Congress should vote to reduce the number of judges in the DC District Court by three and to let the DC judges vote which three get their walking papers. The judge will be as popular as heroes after that.

The Left seems hellbent on self-destruction. I’m still amazed at the whole transing kids thing. Then there’s the jaw-dropping queers for Palestine. Astonishing! These people are not only crazy, but none of them appear to have the presence to stop and think, you know, maybe we should just shut up and keep a low profile.
What gets me the most was this pimple was activated on Saturday. With the courts normally closed how did this happen? Is this traitor on speed dial by Soros?
Check him into the Graybar Hotel el Salvador with the scum he wanted to bring back!
HE gave out very harsh sentences to J-6 ers.
The DC Circuit judges would be a great first target. All of them already derserve to get fired because they railroaded J6 patriots. It would also send a clear message to the other Obama judges they need to keep their head down unless they want to be next.
Glad to hear they aren’t guaranteed to always be in place.
