But then there's also the possibility that if actually the House gets serious about this, they could actually have to end up defending themselves in, you know, the actual United States Congress against impeachment. Yeah.

Pretty infrequently. So there have been 15 impeachments of federal judges. Only eight of them have resulted in conviction. So impeachment is a two-step process. So we say somebody has been impeached if a majority of the House of Representatives has voted to approve one or more articles of impeachment against them. So it just requires a simple majority in the House.

And then again, colloquially, we say the person has been impeached. But then they actually just go to the other House of Congress, the Senate, and that's where there's an actual trial that happens. And it requires a two-thirds supermajority to actually convict someone in a Senate trial, which results in their removal from office.

And that's happened, I think, in eight of the 15 cases involving federal judges. So impeachment, again, is the first half of the two-step process in the Constitution. And it does not seem impossible to me that we might see federal judges actually subject to real impeachment proceedings in the House, although 67 votes in the Senate is very hard for me to see ever occurring.

I don't think so. I think we are close. I think that this kind of, you know, sort of delicate dance in front of Judge Bosberg in which the administration does suggest that it is complying with, you know, a narrow and I think probably wrong, but at least like defensible in like words and like legal sounding language.

argument that they weren't subject to this order, they weren't defying the order, they were trying to comply with the order. And so they are at least not saying to the court, you essentially have no power over us. They are maybe inching a little closer to that. I think it matters a lot. They're continuing to make legal arguments and they're continuing to appeal.

And I think in some ways, that's when the real red lights start flashing if they stop doing that and simply don't comply. Here, where the president is making claims about national security, The president's power is always understood to be sort of at its apex.
