President Donald Trump and his allies' calls to impeach certain federal judges is causing a constitutional crisis, warned former federal judge J. Michael Luttig, who said on MSNBC Tuesday that the administration has effectively "declared war on the rule of law in America."
In the past several weeks, Trump loyalists have demanded the impeachment of various judges who have blocking or stalling administration policies they deemed unlawful. The president himself, furious that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered his administration to halt deportations of accused gang members to El Salvador, joined them on Tuesday, posting on Truth Social that he ought to be impeached. "HE DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING!" he wrote. "I'm just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do."
