Klobuchar mocks Musk's call to impeach judges

baltimoresun.com

Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota has criticized Elon Musk after he called for the impeachment of judges who blocked actions by the Trump administration. Musk was reacting to a district judge’s ruling that allowed transgender individuals to serve in the military despite Trump's executive order aimed at banning them. Musk described the judge's actions as a “judicial coup” and claimed that it represented a serious threat to democracy. He argued that the judges are acting as activists instead of legal officials. In her response, Klobuchar mocked Musk's suggestion and urged Republicans in Congress to uphold the rule of law. She questioned whether they were truly elected officials or followers of Musk, calling him a "billionaire jester." Klobuchar further highlighted a recent federal judge's ruling against Musk’s efforts to challenge the U.S. Agency for International Development. She emphasized her commitment to defending the rule of law and the important work of USAID. This exchange reflects ongoing tensions between lawmakers and Musk over judicial independence and government policies.
