GOP Moves to Weaken Judicial Power in Multiple States
What Happened: Republican lawmakers across several states are advancing measures to weaken judicial authority, including restricting courts’ ability to rule on constitutionality, changing how judges are selected, and limiting deference to government agencies. Montana, Kansas, Oklahoma, and others are leading these efforts, citing judicial overreach.
Why It Matters: These moves are part of a broader GOP effort to erode judicial independence and remove checks on executive and legislative power. If successful, courts could lose their ability to block unconstitutional laws, further enabling authoritarian governance.

GOP Lawmaker Seeks Judge’s Impeachment Over Foreign Aid Ruling
What Happened: Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) filed a resolution to impeach U.S. District Judge Amir Ali for ruling against Trump’s freeze on foreign aid. Ogles and other Republicans, backed by Elon Musk, are pushing to remove judges who have blocked Trump’s policies, despite lacking the votes in the Senate.
Why It Matters: This is a direct attack on judicial independence. House Republicans are attempting to purge judges who oppose Trump, setting a dangerous precedent that erodes the separation of powers and paves the way for unchecked executive authority.
