  • As Donald Trump breaks the bounds of his legal authority and collapses the constitutional separation of powers between ostensibly co-equal branches of government, time after time it is the judges who've stepped in to impose limits.

The article from Slate discusses the potential impeachment of a federal judge, specifically focusing on the case of Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump. It highlights how House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans are contemplating using impeachment as a tool to influence judicial decisions, particularly in light of Judge Cannon's handling of cases related to Trump. The piece explores the implications of such political maneuvers, suggesting that this could set a dangerous precedent for judicial independence. It also delves into the broader context of how impeachment has been historically used and the potential for it to become a weapon in partisan battles, thereby undermining the separation of powers and the integrity of the judiciary.
