‘Rogue’: Congressman pushes new way to yank anti-Trump Judge Boasberg from office
James Boasberg, the federal judge in Washington who repeatedly has disrupted President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure and protect America with his judicial activism, could face impeachment for his actions.
But that’s a long and cumbersome process.
So U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., has introduced a resolution simply to remove him office for refusing to abide by the Constitution’s requirement that judges can remain in office during their “good behavior.”
”We cannot stand by while activist judges who incorrectly believe they have more authority than the duly-elected president of the United States, impose their own political agenda on the American people,” Biggs explained in a statement.
”I have cosponsored resolutions to impeach Judge Boasberg. His removal from office via impeachment, however, will undoubtedly be blocked by Democrats in the Senate, since it requires a two-thirds majority. My resolution, on the other hand, asserts, pursuant to Article III, Section 1, that rogue judges may be removed the same way we confirm them—by a simple majority,” he said.
”Judge Boasberg abused his judicial authority for political gain and is not in compliance with the constitutional Good Behavior Clause. He must not be permitted to remain in his position. Congress has a duty to fulfill the promises we’ve made to the American people, including defending the President’s authority to enforce our laws.”
Boasberg now is the chief of the federal district court in Washington, the entry-level courts for the federal judiciary. The Constitution establishes the Supreme Court, but all other federal courts are set up by Congress.
The Constitutions provides that judges may hold their offices only during good behavior, a separate requirement from those imposed by the authority of Congress to impeach a judge for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
The resolution details how Boasberg knowingly and unjustly interfered with President Trump’s execution of foreign policy and targeted the president for partisan purposes and political gain.
That, the resolution charges, subjects him to the process of removal from office for failing to abide by good behavior.
A report at the Gateway Pundit explains the resolution states that Boasberg is in “breach of constitutional order, particularly his unlawful meddling in President Trump’s lawful directive to deport members of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act.”
Trump has invoked that federal law to remove illegal alien criminals from America.
When that happened, Boasberg stepped in to try to block those deportations, allegedly “undermining a sitting president’s constitutional authority to defend America from foreign enemies,” the report said. He even ordered that the White House turn around deportation jets in flight and return the criminal aliens to America, without even knowing whether they would have had fuel enough to make it back.
The plan also cites Boasberdgs prior suspect behavior as a FISA court judge, suggesting “he misused his discretion and failed to disclose payments from outside sources,” the report explained.
The report called the move “a direct shot across the bow at activist judges who think they can trample the will of the American people and the duly-elected president, Donald Trump.”
