Summary
Top Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Jim Jordan, are backing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on U.S. judges who blocked Trump orders and Musk-led federal agency cuts.
A judiciary subcommittee hearing explored curbing “judicial overreach,” while Musk, who donated $300M to Trump, has called for impeaching judges.
Critics warn these moves undermine judicial independence and risk violence. Judges facing threats include James Boasberg, targeted by Trump for halting deportations.
Legal experts and ex-GOP officials say the attacks serve political and fundraising goals, while endangering constitutional norms.
Trump’s supporters will cry that this is tyranny and call the new government a dictatorship
Sure, but honestly who gives a flying fuck?
We need the majority to agree to condemn these traders if we’ll ever survive this in the long run.
Thankfully the Republicans are fucking over so many people that democrats have an honest chance at getting the majority. But the odds of them ever actually doing any of the above is likely less than winning the lottery
We don’t need MAGA to have a majority.
So what? It will be tyranny and we will shut them the fuck up real quick, like they’re trying to do to us.
Every time we do something to them we’ll do so while quoting the Trump EO giving us the same authority that they celebrated him having.
