Summary
Top Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Jim Jordan, are backing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on U.S. judges who blocked Trump orders and Musk-led federal agency cuts.
A judiciary subcommittee hearing explored curbing “judicial overreach,” while Musk, who donated $300M to Trump, has called for impeaching judges.
Critics warn these moves undermine judicial independence and risk violence. Judges facing threats include James Boasberg, targeted by Trump for halting deportations.
Legal experts and ex-GOP officials say the attacks serve political and fundraising goals, while endangering constitutional norms.
Republicans are traitors.
Because of course they do
I’m not as worried about the violence against judges, which is a horrific development. I’m more worried about the violence that happens when people realize their political views can bring violence against them because of what’s being done to judges.
That’s going to be the end of peaceful protest, and the start of a LOT of political violence.
Republicans would prefer to rule over a pile of ashes instead of sharing political power in a thriving country.
I really hope the only broad draining of red in this country is the loss of Republicans in any position of power.
The fascism has arrived. America has died. The Untied States is a dictatorship. Maybe if we hurry up and accept it, it’ll be over quicker
Honestly guys, they’re just scared little babies who really want to do the right thing, but are afwaid of the mean Orange Daddy!
