Abstract

Republican lawmakers are seeking to impeach judges who have slowed President Donald Trump's agenda, prompting two US judiciary leaders to publicly condemn these actions as threats to judicial independence. Federal judges, appointed for life to insulate them from political interference, can only be removed for specific reasons outlined in the Constitution. The calls for impeachment have created a hostile environment for judges, with some facing serious threats and physical attacks. Chief Justice John Roberts has highlighted the need for adequate funding to protect judges from intimidation by foreign and domestic actors. [Extracted from the article]
