This resolution proposes the impeachment of James E. Boasberg , Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The central accusation is abuse of power , stemming from his authorization of what the resolution describes as frivolous nondisclosure orders and subpoenas. Specifically, Chief Judge Boasberg is accused of ignoring his constitutional responsibility by granting Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization for nondisclosure orders covering Members of Congress, including Senators Marsha Blackburn and Ted Cruz, who were acting in their legislative capacities. These orders, such as one prohibiting AT&T from informing Senator Cruz of a subpoena, are deemed illegitimate and a threat to constitutional duties and privileges. Furthermore, the resolution alleges that Chief Judge Boasberg failed to appreciate basic statute regarding notification of Senate offices about legal processes, contributing to inquiries that violate the law. It also suggests he facilitated frivolous subpoenas against conservative nonprofit organizations and activists, including Jeffrey Clark and Rudy Giuliani, which appear intended to silence political speech and weaponize the judiciary. The resolution concludes that these actions demonstrate his unfitness to serve and warrant his removal from office.
