It's not just impeachments. Republicans are eyeing other ways to rein in federal judges. [View all]

(Politico) House Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach any federal judges. But a growing number of hard-liners are discussing several other legislative options as GOP leaders search for a release valve for the MAGA fury building over recent court rulings checking President Donald Trump.

Top Republicans are likely to put at least one bill, California Rep. Darrell Issa’s No Rogue Rulings Act, on the floor in early April, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss scheduling plans. The legislation would crack down on the ability of lower-court judges to issue far-reaching injunctions.

That is seen by Speaker Mike Johnson and other House Republican leaders as a viable outlet as they sort out the way forward on the judicial impeachments that have been endorsed by Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk. A spokesperson for Johnson said the speaker and the Judiciary Committee are reviewing “all available options … to address this urgent matter.”

House Republicans have filed impeachment resolutions targeting four district judges, including one this week targeting the jurist who sought to block Trump's effort to deport alleged gang members to El Salvador. Trump publicly backed the impeachment push, and Musk quickly fanned the flames on X, his social media platform, calling the deportations ruling part of a “judicial coup.”
