A Marquette Law School poll indicates 70% of Americans oppose impeaching federal judges who impede President Trump's agenda. 83% believe the president must abide by Supreme Court decisions, a view shared across party lines.
President Trump and allies have criticized judges who ruled against the administration. This included Judge James Boasberg's blocking of using the Alien Enemies Act for deportations, prompting Trump's call for impeachment. Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke of Trump's comments.
Several Trump allies, including Elon Musk, advocated for judge impeachment. Republican Congressman Brandon Gill even introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg. However, impeachment of judges is uncommon and unlikely to progress. Trump's rhetoric and the administration's approach have raised concerns about a constitutional crisis.
The Marquette Law School poll, conducted March 17-27, surveyed 1,021 US adults via the SSRS Opinion Panel. The margin of error is +/- 3.5 percentage points.
