The Letter

Subject Vote No on Impeaching Federal Judges Over Their Rulings

Four impeachment resolutions against federal judges sit in the House Judiciary Committee: H.Res. 229 against Chief Judge James Boasberg, H.Res. 241 against Chief Judge John McConnell, H.Res. 143 against Judge Paul Engelmayer, and H.Res. 818 against Judge Deborah Boardman. Each one objects to a decision the judge made in a case.

The threat is real. The Senate has removed eight officials by impeachment in American history, and every one was a federal judge.

In March 2025, Chief Justice John Roberts said that for more than two centuries it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement with a judicial decision, and that the appeals process exists for that purpose.

A judge who has to weigh a ruling against the risk to their job serves every litigant worse.

Please vote no on any resolution to impeach a federal judge over a ruling.

I'm calling to ask for a no vote on resolutions to impeach federal judges over their rulings.
Four are pending in the Judiciary Committee, against Judges Boasberg, McConnell, Engelmayer, and Boardman. Each objects to a decision in a case.
Every official the Senate has ever removed by impeachment was a federal judge, so the threat is real.
Chief Justice Roberts said in March 2025 that appeals, not impeachment, are the answer to a ruling you disagree with. Please vote no.
I'm a constituent and I vote.
