Pam Bondi Reacts To Elon Musk Calling For ‘Wave Of Judicial Impeachments’
President Donald Trump issued a firm directive to the Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday over what he described as “unlawful nationwide injunctions by radical left judges.”
Why It Matters
As Trump has swept into office with a flurry of executive orders and policy initiatives he has been met with a number of legal challenges to his actions and is currently contending with several setbacks.
The president has continued to lash out at judges and courts that rule against his administration and his actions, often saying questioning the judiciary’s power to impede his desired policy moves.

What To Know
One of the most high-profile cases involves the recent deportation of more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador. The White House and Department of Justice have alleged that all the men have ties to the violent Tren de Aragua gang.
Another case involves Trump’s effort to ban transgender people from serving in the military. A federal judge recently issued an 80-page preliminary injunction blocking the proposal after deeming it to be factually incorrect, discriminatory and demeaning.
Trump took to Truth Social to vent about “radical left judges,” saying their injunctions “could very well lead to the destruction of our Country!”
The president went on to call judges who block his initiatives “lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings.”
It’s “the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these ‘Orders’ overturned,” Trump said, without specifying any ruling or case. “The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks.”
Trump then singled out the case involving the deportation of Venezuelans. The administration went ahead with the deportations despite the fact that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had issued a verbal order telling the government to turn the planes carrying the migrants around and come back to the U.S pending further legal proceedings.
“Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE,” Trump wrote. “It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE.”
The president then addressed Roberts, who was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, and the Supreme Court: “STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!”
Roberts, meanwhile, issued a rare public statement this week rebuking calls from Trump and his allies to impeach judges who rule against the administration.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” the chief justice said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
What People Are Saying
Trump blasted Boasberg, who has been appointed by Republican and Democrat presidents, in a follow-up Truth Social post: “Judge James Boasberg is doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency. He is a local, unknown Judge, a Grandstander, looking for publicity, and it cannot be for any other reason, because his “Rulings” are so ridiculous, and inept. SAVE AMERICA!”
What Happens Next
Boasberg is demanding more information from the government about the timing and other details related to the deportation flights.
The DOJ pushed back on the judge and said in a recent court filing that it’s considering whether to invoke state-secrets privilege, which allows for the exclusion of evidence the government thinks could hurt national security.
In response, Boasberg said Thursday that the Trump administration must submit a sworn declaration from someone involved in those talks by Friday morning. He gave the government until Tuesday to submit another declaration indicating if the government will invoke the privilege.
The judge also said the DOJ must file a brief “showing cause” for why it did not violate his earlier order that the deportation flights turn around and return to the U.S.

A good example follows:

The country cannot continue to allow these rogue judges committing all of this baseless lawfare. It is stopping progress in cleaning up the fraud/corruption because they are involved with it.
This has been going on for 12 years; but, yet during Biden’s time in office they did not interfere with all of the corruption/fraud this admin committed.
