Its been what, 150 some years since any judge has been impeached?

This is the check and balance that the Founding Fathers gave us for judges when they get out of control. Its time to MIGA.

Make Impeachments Great Again

(or actually MJIGA but that just doesn't flow. Make Judicial Impeachments Great Again)

These judges have become communist enemies to US citizens. Impeachment is laughable compared to what they have allowed to happen to innocent citizens. Cruz should just DOX them and let citizens have some justice of their own. It is a sad state when citizens are getting are getting victimized by illegal criminals and there is no action to stop it.

What are your expectation when the other 52 GOP senators and every Democrat oppose reigning in the courts?

Have you ever tried to do something against 99 people in the same room with you, actively opposed to you? It’s very difficult.

Just eliminate his court. That is a simple majority. Ted being a constitutional expert knows this, so he should STFU and stop grandstanding and introduce legislation.

Agree with you, Ted. Impeachment of judges is long overdue since the public can’t get rid of these godawful judges any other way.

Alsee Hastings was impeached by the House in 1988 and convicted by the Senate for bribery and perjury and removed from the bench.

Cruz could still introduce the impeachment resolution and let the others fall on their sword.

Just the fact that a resolution was introduced is going to pause some of the more timid baby judge activists.

Cruz loses 100% of the shots he doesn’t take.

Thanks for pointing that out. I heard Speaker Johnson mention it, so he knows. They just won’t do anything. It’s all jibber jabber, per Mr. T.

Alcee Hastings was impeached in 1988 and removed from the bench in 1989 following conviction in the Senate. Too many criminally corrupt senators to remove Boasberg right now.

“ It’s been what, 150 some years since any judge has been impeached?”

Wasn’t Fed Judge Alcee Hastings impeached back in the 80s?
