‘Impeachathon’ Ensnares Growing Number Of ‘Get-Trump’ Judges

House Republicans have now unveiled articles of impeachment against three federal judges who have issued rulings against the President Donald Trump’s second-term administration in what has been dubbed an “impeachathon” of “judicial activists.”

In a post to X on Thursday, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) revealed an impeachment resolution accusing United States District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, of “high crimes and misdemeanors” for blocking the Trump administration’s foreign aid pause.

The measure faults Ali for an order that “without merit marginalized the President’s Article II authority, which vests power to conduct foreign policy … and has further compromised the President’s fiduciary obligation to review federal agencies and programs.”

Ogles introduced his resolution after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts granted the Trump administration’s request to put on hold Ali’s order commanding the Executive Branch to pay an estimated $2 billion in foreign assistance funds, per CBS News.

Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) previously introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, an Obama appointee, for restricting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team from accessing a Treasury payment system.

Ogles then unveiled impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge John Bates, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, who ordered health agencies to restore data after Trump acted to stop the government from promoting “gender ideology,” The Hill reported.

Judges have been subject to impeachment proceedings over the course of United States history. Some cases have resulted in a guilty verdict and removal from office. It remains to be seen whether this new push will be taken up by the Republican leadership in the House.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) has also said he was drafting articles of impeachment for U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr., another Obama appointee, who ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze payments for grants and other programs, according to NPR.

Ogles posted a video to X on Thursday in which he provides an update on the “Impeachathon” using a chart of “Known Get-Trump Judicial Activists” that showed the four judges under “Articles Drafted/In Process” and seven others in a “Wanted” section.

“James Madison, Founding Father, warned us about an overactive — a too powerful, quite frankly — a woke judiciary, and we see it coming to pass,” Ogles said, adding later he was placing the sign so people would know, “We’re going to hold these judges accountable.”
