While House Republicans are unlikely to cobble together the votes to answer President Trump’s call to impeach federal judges who block his administration's actions, they are poised to take action on a bill that could prove to have even more consequential and lasting effects on the federal judiciary.

GOP leaders will hold a floor vote next week on the No Rogue Rulings Act led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), which would limit the power of district judges to impose nationwide injunctions — like the one from Judge James Boasberg that barred the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.

Trump called for Boasberg’s impeachment last week over that decision, while tech billionaire Elon Musk previously called for a “wave of judicial impeachments” against judges who blocked actions by the Department of Government Efficiency to dismantle parts of the federal government.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) promptly introduced a resolution to impeach Boasberg, and a number of Republicans began preparing other impeachment articles against other judges.

Judicial impeachment efforts, however, are widely seen on Capitol Hill as futile endeavors.
