House Republicans eye hearings on Judge Boasberg, bill to rein in federal judges

Source: ABC News

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said on Monday his committee intends to hold hearings next week on U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, and other recent judicial rulings.

"It really starts to look like Judge Boasberg is operating purely political against the president, and that's what we want to have hearings on this broad issue and some of what Judge Boasberg is doing. And so, we're going to start those next week, and we think Sen. Grassley is going to do the same," Jordan said on Fox News. Sen. Chuck Grassley is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In addition to hearings, Jordan said he expects House Republican leadership to put California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa's bill entitled "No Rogue Rulings Act" on the floor for a vote next week. It's not clear when the vote would be held, but the legislation would put restrictions on district court judges issuing orders providing injunctive relief decisions that impact the entire country outside their districts.

Long video online of his last town hall where they give him hell

Because why not just make their fascist takeover completely obvious in every way? Nobody is able to do anything to stop them it seems

“ legislation would put restrictions on district court judges issuing orders providing injunctive relief decisions that impact the entire country outside their districts.”
