Summary
Elon Musk called for the impeachment of federal judges after courts blocked his DOGE from laying off probationary (new) federal workers.
Judges ordered agencies to reinstate tens of thousands of employees, ruling the firings unlawful. Musk claimed judicial resistance undermines democracy.
Musk has attacked judges on social media, calling them “corrupt” and “evil,” raising concerns among federal judges about their safety.
It kinda is now.
However, impeachment of judges requires 2/3rd in the senate. That’s the more important thing to note
unless you force them to resign, somehow.
Fetterman just took over Manchin’s position as Senate DINO. Schumer left his entire party high and dry at the last minute and out of nowhere to vote with Trump. That 2/3 vote may be a lot closer than you think.
2/3 is 67 senators. Republicans have 53 in the senate. You need 14 Fettermans
Given that we’re seeing Democrats in both the House and Senate rolling over and playing dead, getting there may not be as difficult as one would expect. Last week, if you’d have said 10 democrats would join with Republicans to censure one of their own, or that Schumer would bail on his own party on a crucial vote at the last minute with no warning, people would have been skeptical. But here we are.
And remember, it’s 2/3 of all members present. If a couple of these cowards just stay home, they make the GOP’s efforts significantly easier. And I could easily see a few of these cowards sit it out.
