Mike Johnson's latest battle has some GOP lawmaker's 'rolling their eyes': report

Raw Story  

Fresh off of cajoling and appeasing far-right members of the House Republican caucus to go along with his budget proposal to keep the government running, House Speaker Mike Johnson is now dealing with a new "headache," Politico is reporting. As Rachel Bade and Meredith Lee Hill are reporting, the latest shiny object that has caught the eye of the House GOP's far-right members is making a push to impeach judges who are balking at Donald Trump's wide-ranging executive orders when there is little chance of success. "But privately there is dread inside Johnson’s leadership circle about the prospect of having to pursue messy, certain-to-fail impeachments that could ultimately backfire on the GOP’s razor-thin majority," Politico is reporting with a senior House Republican aide admitting, “It’s never going to happen. The report added, "A third said GOP leaders and even some conservative House members are 'rolling their eyes' at the impeachment filings that 'aren’t going to go anywhere.'"
