An alternative to removing federal judge without impeachment will now be attempted....

This alternate method to remove a federal judge has been discussed, but is now being atttempted by Rep. Biggs. Under the Constitutions "good behavior " clause, a federal judge can be removed by a simple majority vote.
Whether this succeeds or not is debatable, but the attempt might cause judges to think twice before making some of these politically motivated decisions attempting to stall Trumps plans.
quote:
Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has filed a resolution to remove U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg for failing to uphold the Constitution’s “good behavior” clause—without requiring the traditional two-thirds Senate vote.
The resolution, submitted in the House of Representatives, alleges Judge Boasberg—currently Chief Judge of the powerful United States District Court for the District of Columbia—knowingly abused his position to interfere with the constitutional authority of President Donald Trump.
The resolution declares Judge Boasberg’s conduct a breach of constitutional order, particularly his unlawful meddling in President Trump’s lawful directive to deport members of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

It would be a mistake to start governing like the Democrats. The "Biden Rule", the "Reid Rule" nuclear option, packing the court, eliminating the filibuster...all were Democratic ideas based on the assumption that they would be in power forever and these things would never be used against them by the Republicans.
If this happens, one day the Democrats will be back in power and resort to the same tactic.

Are conservative Judges overstepping and trying to control shite they have no business controlling?

I've seen this argument before, which my response is: Do you think the Dems will play by that rule? On that day Dems are back in power, tthink they'll say, "well, the Republicans didn't do that to us, so we won't do it to them".
Nah, Dems will be all out trying harder to destroy Republicans/America. We need to go hard and not let up. They are on their heels, we need to keep em there.

I say go for it.

The Republicans have to stop trying to reason and negotiate with evil. Either ignore them or remove them.

When have they ever tried this novel legal theory to remove a federal judge?

Kitchen sink. Both barrels. The more public that rogue, partisan Judge's politicized behavior becomes, the more pressure it puts on Chief Justice Roberts, who is more concerned with how the SC 'looks' in the eyes of the populous than making concrete Constitutional Rulings.

Here’s the difference: It is likely that no Federal Judges will challenge the Democrats Executive Branch when they are in power.
The Federal Judges will rubber stamp anything the Democrats do in the future no matter what. There will be no reason to remove any Judges.
In the interim, frick Democrats’ Judges that shite on the Constitution. If the Trump Administration can wield the power now, you do it.
Democrats do not operate under any semblance of fair play or decorum. Remove obstacles now and get the promised work done, now.

This conservative way of thinking is why the dems continuously drag their nuts across the republicans face. They fight dirty whenever they can and we're always scared little bitches about retaliation. We have the power now, use it.

When has a conservative federal judge overstepped his authority to buck a democrat's agenda?

Which they will do regardless of 'who started it'.
Think no further back than them filing for impeachment on the first day of T45, before he had done anything- good, bad, or indifferent.

They pretty much resort to what they want... So, I say remove the judges... At least then they will think twice about making a stupid ruling...

Democrats don't play by rules. Eight years of barack obama doing as he pleases should have been enough to take off Republican gloves and go bare knuckle.
You will never win a fight if you're not throwing punches because you're afraid your opponent will throw a similar one in response. He is going to throw the punch regardless, So get your lick in.

His violation was having a family member directly connected to USAID funding NGO. It’s pretty obvious his position is compromised. He should have recused himself.

Maybe because conservative leaning judges aren't actively gumming up the works to thwart democrat administrations. Such a tactic tends to be very progressive .
