U.S. District Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg is facing growing calls for impeachment from Republican lawmakers after ordering to pause deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Fordham Law Professor Cheryl Bader spoke with Newsweek about whether he can be impeached.
Cheryl Bader, a Fordham Law School professor, told Newsweek in an email Saturday: “I know of no precedent for impeaching a judge because a separate branch of government is unhappy with the judge’s ruling and wants to punish the judge rather than go through the proper appeals process. This is a disturbing congressional assault on an independent judiciary.”
