US EditionSpeaker Johnson backs impeachment of 2 federal judges, claiming ‘egregious abuses’
Speaker Johnson supports impeaching two federal judges over rulings seen as overreach, with 40+ GOP co-sponsors backing impeachment resolutions introduced last year.
- On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports using impeachment to `make an example` of what he described as `egregious abuses` by judges amid Senate Republicans' calls targeting Chief Judge James `Jeb` Boasberg and Judge Deborah Boardman.
- Republicans have singled out particular rulings they say exceeded judicial bounds, objecting to Chief Judge James `Jeb` Boasberg's Arctic Frost and wartime deportation orders and Judge Deborah Boardman's sentencing of Sophie Roske far below prosecutors' request of at least 30 years.
- Gill and Roy led congressional resolutions last year, with Brandon Gill's Boasberg impeachment gaining 23 co-sponsors and Rep. Chip Roy's Boardman measure 16, while Roy sought chambers' funding cuts.
- Johnson faces tight House math—he can lose only two Republican votes, and conviction in the Senate is unlikely given the two-thirds threshold, with only 15 judges impeached in US history, and Chief Justice Roberts cautioned against impeachment for judicial disagreements.
- Having used other tools before, Johnson previously favored funding and authority limits over impeachment, though Sen. Ted Cruz urged him to `immediately advance` articles and Boasberg's inquiries into administration officials deepened the dispute.
