President Trump and his allies in Congress are locked in a bitter battle with federal judges who keep blocking his policies. California Republican Darrell Issa is leading the charge with a new bill to stop judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. These injunctions let a single judge in one district halt policies affecting the entire country.
Issa’s No Rogue Rulings Act has strong backing from Trump. The president calls the judges “radical left lunatics” for interfering with his immigration crackdowns and government reforms. But not all Republicans agree on how to handle the judicial pushback. Some want to impeach judges like James Boasberg, who stopped deportation flights. Others say impeachment is a waste of time.
House Republicans like Texas Rep. Brandon Gill are pushing to impeach Boasberg. They claim he abused his power by meddling in Trump’s deportation plans. But Senate Republicans admit impeachment won’t work. Convicting a judge requires 67 Senate votes, and Democrats won’t help. Senate GOP leaders say fighting in court is smarter than political theater.
Top Republicans like Senator Chuck Grassley are looking for a longer-term fix. He wants to limit judges’ power so their rulings only apply locally. Grassley argues this would stop activist judges from dictating national policy. He points out that both parties have complained about this issue, but Republicans are now taking action to protect Trump’s agenda.
Democrats dismiss the GOP’s efforts as attacks on the rule of law. They accuse Republicans of threatening judges just for doing their jobs. Legal experts warn that undermining the courts could spark a constitutional crisis. But conservatives say judges have overstepped for years, and Congress must reassert its authority.
The showdown highlights a key frustration among Trump supporters. Voters elected Trump to shake up Washington, but judges keep slamming the brakes. Julie Kelly, a conservative commentator, says Republicans are too timid compared to Democrats. She notes how Democrats quickly impeached Trump twice but Republicans won’t hold rogue judges accountable.
With the Supreme Court’s liberals and Chief Justice John Roberts in the mix, conservatives doubt the high court will back Trump. The administration is asking justices to reverse Boasberg’s rulings, but confidence is low. Grassley’s plan offers hope, but it needs bipartisan support that likely won’t come.
As the 2026 midterms approach, Republicans are under pressure to deliver results. Voters want Trump’s policies enforced, not blocked by unelected judges. The GOP’s internal divisions and legal hurdles make it a tough fight. But supporters say stopping judicial overreach is critical to saving the country from left-wing activism.
