Summary

Elon Musk and Republican lawmakers have recently called for impeaching federal judges who ruled against Trump policies, labeling them “corrupt” and part of “judicial tyranny.”

These threats followed rulings that temporarily blocked Trump’s executive orders on gender ideology and federal funding freezes.

Experts call this “anti-democratic theater,” noting that impeachment requires high crimes or treason and Senate supermajority approval.

While unlikely to succeed, these threats come amid increasing violence against judges and may intimidate the judiciary from checking executive power.
