gop begins impeachment process (that will go nowhere) on activist judges Englemeyer and McConnell Jr.
"(zh) house republicans are drafting articles of impeachment against democrat judges that have blocked various actions by the Trump administration, including those who have halted efforts by the department of government efficiency (doge).
“Judge Paul Engelmayer
“according to the hill:
“rep. Eli Crane (r-ariz.) said he is drafting articles of impeachment against judge Paul Engelmayer of the southern district of new york, who in a ruling last weekend temporarily restricted Musk and doge aides from accessing a treasury department payment system.
“rep. Andrew Clyde (r-Ga.) is working on an impeachment resolution against Rhode island district judge John McConnell Jr. over his ruling halting the Trump administration’s freeze on federal funding.
“and rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (r-Ga.), chair of the house oversight delivering on government efficiency subcommittee, pledged in a hearing this week while referencing Engelmayer that 'we will hold this judge and others who try to stop the will of the people and their elected leaders accountable.
“our case for impeaching judge Engelmayer is basically that he’s an activist judge trying to stop the Trump administration from, you know, executing their, you know, article 2 powers to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed,' Crane told former rep. Matt Gaetz earlier this week.
“Greene, meanwhile, said that she would support Engelmayer's impeachment - arguing that judges can't simply take power away from cabinet secretaries.
“However a 2/3 vote in the senate is required to fire the judges, so this isn't going anywhere.
GRA: I don't know why the legalities of executive orders haven't already been decided. Either the president has the power, or he doesn't. Instead, each one must be decided on its own merit--which takes months to get to scotus.

“and rep. marjorie taylor greene ... pledged ... that 'we will hold this judge and others who try to stop the will of the people and their elected leaders accountable." HA! If I had a nickel for every time she said "hold (insert name here) accountable" during Biden 2021-2024, it would be enough to pay for her Greene New Deal (the $1.5 Trillion debt limit increase in June 2023).
James Comer's toothless Oversight Committee meets in the Trey Gowdy Memorial Hearing Room. The creep du jour, Christopher Wray or whoever, endures an couple hours of uncomfortable questions, fibbing and deflecting his way to the finish line. Then he goes out to have drinks and high-fives his accomplices and they look at videos of the hearing on their phones and laugh at Comer, MTG, and all of us, too.
The Republicans won a Debate Trophy; it's in a glass case next to the principal's office. The Democrats won the state football championship.
Now superstar QB Trump is back and all-star RB Musk is picking up some yardage but the line is still a pathetic, weak, porous mess. At last report the "one big beautiful bill" is going to include a $4 Trillion debt limit increase. But, we're assured, it will also have spending cuts. Yes, spending cuts, spread out over the next ten years.
Bannon - yes, Bannon, of all people, is warning against Medicaid cuts because "a lot of MAGA is on Medicaid." And he still talks favorably about MTG's DOGE Subcommittee, as if it's going to get anything done. Like what? The edgy dramatic hearings she has planned for March? She has subpoenaed PBS and NPR execs to testify. Hard-hitting evidence right out of the yellowed pages of 1970's National Review print articles. The libs and the press will make it all about killing Big Bird. Again. We are so screwed.
Good chance that DemonCrap judges are also crooked. Investigate them and dig up the dirt on them.
