Johnson faces complicated path amid push to impeach Judge Boasberg

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Trump wrote on Truth Social.
43% : Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge John Bates, who ordered federal health agencies to restore online datasets taken down after Trump signed an executive order forbidding the government from promoting "gender ideology," and U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who ordered the release of foreign aid payments owned under some existing contracts. Jordan -- who leads the committee that oversees impeachment -- said if not impeachment, there could be "another legislative remedy" to push back on the judges that have drawn their ire, pointing to the No Rogue Ruling Act, which would place limitations on district court judges issuing orders providing injunctive relief decisions that affect the entire country outside their districts.
24% : Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Ariz.) introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who blocked Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department's payment systems.
23% : But if Trump and Musk press on with their push for the impeachment proceedings -- and if a lawmaker forces a vote on the legislation -- Johnson could be pushed into a corner, weighing the importance of appeasing the president against protecting his members from what could be a politically difficult vote.
22% : Trump ignited a controversial campaign this week when he said U.S. District Judge James Boasberg -- whom he dubbed a "troublemaker and agitator" -- should be impeached, which Musk and other Republican lawmakers joined in on.
22% : Trump came out swinging against Boasberg on Tuesday, labeling him a "Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge" and calling for his ouster.
17% : Trump later fundraised on Boasberg's impeachment over email.
10% : Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is facing a tricky path forward as President Trump and Elon Musk publicly -- and persistently -- push for the impeachment of the judge who directed flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to be turned around.
