Johnson Navigates GOP Pressure on Judge Impeachment Amid Trump Advocacy

News summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing significant pressure from President Trump and hardline Republicans to impeach judges obstructing the administration's agenda, particularly U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. However, the push for impeachment is seen as politically risky and unlikely to succeed in the Senate. Instead, Johnson is supporting the 'No Rogue Rulings Act,' introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, which aims to limit district judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions. This approach allows Republicans to express their dissatisfaction without engaging in the contentious impeachment process. As the House prepares to vote on this legislation, Johnson is working to balance the differing views within the GOP, with some members advocating for stricter measures while others oppose impeachment. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the legislative and judicial branches over Trump's policies.
