Radical judges appointed by Biden and Obama, have rendered opinions halting activities of DOGE that sought to cut the fat to the bone. TEAM TRUMP has quietly kept up his stride because he knows that the odds that the Supreme Court will rule in his favor. Let us be clear here, judges don’t have the right to impliment government policy, they can’t legislate from the bench. However, some think they can. These miscreants are skating on thin ice and soon they will find out that what goes around comes around.
Judges threatened with impeachment, bombs for ruling against Trump agenda

Heard on All things Considered
Federal judges who have ruled against the Trump administration this year are confronting a wave of threats, potentially compromising their personal safety and the independence of the judiciary.
The sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett received a bomb threat earlier this month, and lower court judges who hit pause on some of President Trump’s efforts to dismantle federal agencies and programs have been singled out on social media.
Republican lawmakers close to the president even have proposed impeachment proceedings against a few of those judges, who serve for life.
Elon Musk, who oversees the Department of Government Efficiency making cuts to federal agencies, himself has repeatedly posted on social media about impeaching judges who delay or block parts of Trump’s agenda.
Early threats
One thing stands out to legal experts: these attacks on judges are coming at a very early stage in the legal process — often, before the Supreme Court weighs in as the final decider.
“We have a system of justice that allows for appeals,” Judge Jeffrey Sutton, chief judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, told reporters this week. “That’s typically the way it works. Impeachment is not and shouldn’t be a short-circuiting of that process. And so it is concerning if impeachment is used in a way that is designed to do just that.”
The Courts Alone Can’t Stop Trump’s Overreach
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are moving fast and breaking things. Judges can’t keep up.

In his first days and weeks in office, President Donald Trump has launched a barrage of executive orders and actions to radically remake the federal government – many of which may tread on the Constitution’s separation of powers.
State governments, community and advocacy groups and ordinary citizens have filed a raft of legal challenges, and courts have ordered that some of the president’s actions be put on hold – at least temporarily. On Thursday morning, a federal judge in California is expected to weigh continuing or expanding a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration in a lawsuit challenging the mass firing of federal workers.
As a scholar of the federal judiciary, however, I expect the courts will be of limited help in navigating the complicated new political landscape of a president seeking unprecedented executive powers.
For starters, the U.S. Supreme Court in recent years has moved sharply to the right and approved of past efforts to expand the powers of the presidency. But it’s not just a question of right-leaning justices going along with a right-leaning president.
Regardless of the ideological makeup of courts, an arguably bigger challenge is speed. The Trump administration is moving much faster than courts can. Another obstacle is authority: The courts’ ability to compel government action is both limited and slow.
Trump, Vice President JD Vance and “special government employee” multibillionaire Elon Musk have indicated that they are ready to ignore court rulings and have even threatened to try to impeach judges who don’t rule in their favor.
