White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested the Trump administration would consider arresting high-ranking judgesincluding Supreme Court justicesat a press briefing Monday.
As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice? Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.
Leavitt said no judge is safe from the administrations crackdown on the judiciary.
Anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials is putting themselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely, she said.
But, calling the question a hypothetical, Leavitt said it was ultimately up to the Department of Justice to make calls on which judges to go after.
Id refer you to the DOJ for individuals they are looking at, she added.
The exchange comes days after the FBI arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge, Hannah Dugan, for allegedly obstructing its agents from arresting an undocumented migrant in her courtroom.
Leavitt fielded questions about the arrest at the briefing Monday.
Lets be clear what this judge did, Leavitt said. She obstructed federal law enforcement who were looking for an illegal alien in her courthouse. She showed that illegal alien the door to evade law enforcement officials. That is a clear-cut case of obstruction.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said last week the administration was open to pursuing judges whom it believed were stymying its policy goals.
We will prosecute you, she told Fox News. We will find you.
Leavitts comments also come two days after President Donald Trump attacked judges who he said are holding up his efforts to combat illegal immigration after a series of judicial rulings blocked his pushes to end federal funding for sanctuary cities and to require proof of citizenship to vote.
We need Courageous JUSTICE in our Country, the president wrote. If the Courts dont allow what we have been allowed to do for 250 years, America can no longer be the same.
Judges across the country are fighting back, however, particularly on immigration, where the presidents agenda has faced the most judicial pushback.
Judge James Boasberg threatened earlier this month to hold Trump officials in contempt after the White House disregarded his March order to return Venezuelan migrants on flights bound for El Salvador back to the United States. The administration claimed his order did not apply to flights flying over international waters.
Following Boasbergs March orders, Trump called for his impeachment: This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! he wrote on Truth Social.

This has always been true in theory (somebody would have to arrest a legitimately rogue judge or justice) but to hear it stated, and within the context of everything else going on, it's absolutely insane to just be boasting about it.
The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.

No, DOJ can't arrest SCOTUS judges, but Congress could impeach them per the damn Constitution....

Of course! Just think of the precedent that would set!

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
Leavitt said no judge is safe from the administrations crackdown on the judiciary.

It's wild that Americans aren't concerned when the President is saying this about a co-equal branch of government.
I know they won't but I wish the useless press corp would go low and personal on her since she does not deserve respect.

A majority of people won't ever hear of this and a majority of those that do hear of this will think it's a good thing because it'll be framed that way to them.

And if they DO, they will be more mad at the person making the very real Hitler comparisons because that is being mean and sensationalist and all that derpy nonsense.

To be fair, SCOTUS told Trump and the American people he could do whatever he wanted without consequences.

Trump is just doing what he was told he could do, not that that would have stopped him anyway.

The terminally online echo chamber in effect for all to see. People who are aware of what's going on ARE concerned. You're mistaking the lack of rioting in the streets for apathy.
Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.
This is blatantly an attempt at intimidating judges into not striking down Trump's executive orders.
"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."
I genuinely would like to see them try.
Thank You

Not willy nilly. That specific issue will have to be brought to them again. Then they can overturn it if they want. But it also means Donnie basically gets a freebie bc of he did heinous shit under the legitimate impression that SCOTUS allowed it, nobody could prove he broke the law knowingly

NGL, I think would actually be funny. Even moreso if he went after Thomas and Alito first.

It wouldn't be ignorance of the law if he was acting within the law. The law couldn't be overturned until SCOTUS overturns it. Until then he can do whatever TF he wants.
