GOP Strikes Back: Limiting Judicial Reach in Wake of Trump Lawsuits
In response to numerous court rulings against the Trump administration, House Republicans are proposing to limit judicial reach, cut funding, and even impeach federal judges. This move comes as a reaction to executive actions being questioned by the courts involving federal worker firings and fund freezing.

In a bold countermeasure to numerous court defeats, Republicans in Congress are rallying to curb the powers of the federal judiciary, proposing measures to limit judicial reach, reduce funding, and possibly impeach federal judges. This marks an unprecedented attempt to consolidate control within the government.
House GOP leaders, alarmed by frequent legal setbacks hindering President Donald Trump's agenda, are considering all available options to reign in judicial opposition. This includes scrutinizing federal worker terminations and frozen funds, actions questioned by courts along with directives from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Amidst Democratic concerns over judicial assault, tensions have intensified following high-profile rulings, as seen in the case of Judge James E. Boasberg's immigration decision. As House Republicans align with Trump's increasingly controversial measures, an intense constitutional confrontation appears inevitable.
