Just hours after #Trump called for the #impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against his #deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans over the weekend, & after Trump's comments targeting Judge #Boasburg spurred a rare public rebuke from #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, #HouseRepublicans led by Rep #BrandonGill introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg.

#GOP *lawmakers* have unleashed an unprecedented flood of long-shot #impeachment articles aimed at federal judges who are standing in the way of #Trump's agenda.

James #Boasberg, chief judge of the DC District Court, is at least the fifth federal judge who is facing a #HouseRepublicans impeachment attempt after issuing a ruling unfavorable to the admin.

#BrandonGill's bogus four-page #impeachment resolution charges Judge #Boasberg with abuse of power, arguing that he "did knowingly & willfully use his judicial position to advance political gain."

It argues that the #AlienEnemiesAct gives #Trump "sole & unreviewable discretion" to determine whether an "invasion has taken place" — & thus whether its powerful emergency provisions can be exercised. [nope]

#BrandonGill's measure is co-sponsored by Reps. #EliCrane (R-#Arizona), #BuddyCarter (R-#Georgia), #MikeCollins (R-GA), #BarryMoore (R-#Alabama) & #AndrewClyde (R-GA).

#Republicans have also moved to #impeach federal judges Paul Engelmayer, John McConnell Jr., John Bates & Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali — all for ruling in some way against #Trump.

Unbelievable willful ignorance:

#Trump said that #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts’ statement on Tues didn’t mention him by name while doubling down on his call to #impeach a federal judge who ruled against his admin in a high-profile #deportation case.

In an interview on Tues w/ FauxNews’ Laura Ingraham, Trump was asked what his reaction was to Roberts stepping in to make a statement after Trump called for impeaching US District Judge James #Boasberg.

“He didn’t mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn’t mention my name. But many people have called for his impeachment. The impeachment of this judge. I don’t know who the judge is. He is radical left. He is Obama-appointed,” #Trump said, acc/to an early clip shared on the social media.

#Trump said that the decision to remove people from the #US should be left to the president.

“He actually said we shouldn’t be able to take criminals, killers, murderers, horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders — that we shouldn’t be allowed to take them out of our country,” Trump told FauxNews. “Well, that is a presidential job. Not for a local judge to be making that determination.”
