In virtually every conversation about activist judges, D.C. District Chief Judge James Boasberg’s name quickly comes up. He approved the spying on Republican congressmembers in former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost probe, and he forbade telecommunications companies like Verizon from revealing that they had received subpoenas. In July of this year, the DOJ filed misconduct charges against him for making public comments implying that the Trump administration would likely defy decisions from federal courts.

Oh, but there's plenty more. He demanded that a flight deporting alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers to El Salvador be turned around midair in March, and then he found probable cause to pursue criminal contempt against Team Trump when they indicated they were unable to do so because they claimed the plane was over international waters at the time.

Arctic Frost Unraveling: Jack Smith's 'Unprecedented' Phone Seizure Sparks White House Fury

In March, GOP Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) filed an impeachment resolution against the rogue judge, and he re-upped his resolution earlier in November. Now, Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt is demanding that Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Sri Srinivasan suspend Boasberg while Congress mulls impeachment proceedings. He fired off a series of blistering social media posts Monday, demanding that action be taken post haste:

No more delays. Judge Boasberg must be suspended immediately. Impeachment is underway. He should not get to hear another case—this afternoon I led the effort to make that suspension happen. My letter to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the D.C. Circuit. ?

— Senator Eric Schmitt (@@SenEricSchmitt) Nov 16, 2025

The letter read:

We write to you regarding Chief Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Chief Judge Boasberg should be administratively suspended pending formal impeachment by the House of Representatives and, if impeached, an impeachment trial by the Senate. 

On November 4, 2025, Articles of Impeachment were filed against Judge Boasberg for his role in Operation Arctic Frost, the Biden administration’s effort to target and spy on sitting Republican Senators and conservative organizations, including the Republican Attorneys General Association during Senator Schmitt’s tenure as chairman during his time as Missouri’s Attorney General. 

Schmitt has had plenty to say about Boasberg in the past; here's the senator in late October:

I just called for the impeachment of Judge Boasberg. Boasberg is the poster child for rogue judges: • Forcing his way onto Trump cases • Fomenting a judicial "resist" campaign • Issuing illegal gag orders on GOP Senators. This rogue judge must go. Let's recap. ?

A DEEPER DIVE: Let's Take a Look at That Judge Who's Trying to Thwart Trump's Attempts to Jettison Violent Gangbangers (VIP)

Time and time again, we’ve seen activist judges jump off the third rope and try to thwart the duly elected president’s agenda with temporary restraining orders and injunctions on virtually every decision he makes. Luckily, the Supreme Court has stepped in and rectified the situation in a number of instances, but there’s no question that all these district court decisions are slowing the president’s roll.

There are mechanisms in our system for dealing with judges who operate outside the bounds of the law. If there were ever a jurist to use them against, James Boasberg would appear to be the poster child. 

Editor's Note: Radical leftist judges are doing everything they can to hamstring President Trump's agenda to make America great again.
