MAGA hardliner Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) slammed Judge James Boasberg in a viral Fox News segment, accusing him of violating the Good Behavior Clause of the U.S. Constitution and announcing his intention to fire the controversial judge.
For context, Boasberg undermined President Trump’s authority by blocking the president’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Tren de Aragua gang to Venezuela. This unprecedented move drew widespread condemnation from conservatives, and Republican lawmakers have sought to curtail activist judges since then.
Beginning the April 1, 2025, FNC segment, Biggs explained Article Three of the Constitution. He said, “Again, we get to this point of what Article Three, section one allows, it only allows a federal district judge, or any judge actually to serve under a term of good behavior. During good behavior is the actual quote from the Constitution.”
Building on that point, he explored how Boasberg might have violated the Constitution. Biggs added, “And when you’re abusing your power here, trying to overrun what the President is doing lawfully under other statutory and constitutional provisions, then you are the one that is not acting in good behavior, and probably, in my opinion, you should be removed from office, which is why I’ve introduced a bill dealing with this very topic.”
Hammering the woke judge, the courageous Republican drove his point home. He said, “Somebody like judge Boasberg is going to have to respond to it’s not an impeachment, because impeachment would require certain article two, section four, allegations, but Article Three, section one, says you only get to serve during term of good behavior, and that’s, I think he’s exceeded that and demonstrated very clearly that he should be removed.”
Before the interview, Rep. Biggs published a press release to explain his solution. He began, “Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced a resolution to remove James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for failure to maintain the standard of good behavior required by the U.S. Constitution.”
