Republicans Intensify Efforts to Challenge Judicial Authority Amid Trump Legal Battles

House GOP leaders are prioritizing hearings and bills aimed at limiting the reach of judicial rulings as tensions rise over anti-Trump decisions from federal judges. Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested extreme measures, including potentially eliminating federal courts, as the GOP ramps up its attacks on judges. Senate Republicans, including Chuck Grassley, are pushing back against perceived judicial overreach, introducing legislation to curb the power of judges amid Trump’s legal challenges. With Congress struggling to keep pace with a flurry of Trump actions, the GOP is focusing on restricting nationwide injunctions and addressing claims of judicial activism. As discussions unfold, some Republican leaders are warning against threats to the judiciary while others advocate for significant reforms, reflecting a divided strategy within the party.
