Donald Trump and Elon Musk have said they want to impeach judges. Here's why it's likely an empty threat.
Briefly

President Trump and Elon Musk have publicly called for the impeachment of federal judges who oppose their policies, a move that legal experts view as an attack on the judiciary. Trump's comments on social media reflect frustration over judicial rulings that hinder his administration's initiatives. Experts believe this could be an attempt to delegitimize the judiciary and set the stage for non-compliance with court orders. Historical precedents suggest such impeachment efforts are unlikely to succeed, highlighting the tension between the executive branch and judicial independence.
Trump’s threats to impeach judges demonstrate a strategy to undermine judicial authority, as both he and Musk criticize judges obstructing their agendas.
This latest call for impeachment reflects a broader strategy to intimidate judges and diminish public trust in judicial decisions, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis.
