'On the table': Jim Jordan opens the door to impeaching judges who restrain Trump

House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) is making noises that he is open to the idea of impeaching judges who use the law to restrain Donald Trump’s policies that do not pass constitutional muster.

In an interview with the Washington Times, the blustery Ohio Republican claimed he feels there are also criminal cases that can be made against former high-ranking government officials who have become critics of Trump's policies.

Singling out former CIA director John Brennan he stated, “It looks to me like he may have misled Congress. We are looking at that.”

As for the balking judges, the Times report notes Jordan explained, “The history of our great country has been you don’t impeach judges for stupid decisions, or bad decisions, what we, and common sense, would say is a poor decision. But I don’t think you should rule out impeachment.”

Admitting the way to combat a disputed ruling is through the appeals process, he was quick to point out the high success rate Trump has had with the Supreme Court as a reason not to waste time.
