Going after Federal Judges is NOT something that is SERIOUSLY gonna happen…

Congress IS NOT THERE….

President Donald Trump is serious about impeaching the judge who sought to block the use of an 18th century law to whisk alleged Venezuelan gang members off to prison in El Salvador — but that doesn’t mean it will happen, says his deputy chief of staff.

“What we’re encouraging is a public debate and I think it’s a reasonable public debate,” Blair said in the interview Wednesday.

He told POLITICO that the president was attempting to shine “a big old spotlight” on what the administration views as a judicial encroachment on executive power with a social media post calling the judge a “Radical Left Lunatic” who should be removed.

Impeaching a federal judge requires majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Even if Republicans in the House had enough votes to impeach, the GOP lacks the required two-thirds majority in the Senate.

Blair left it up to Speaker Mike Johnson “to figure out what can be passed or not” in the House.

“That’s the speaker’s job. And I won’t speak for what the speaker’s opinion of that is,” he said. “I think the thing that is important right now is the president is highlighting a critical issue.”
