Overview
A rebellion led by nine Republicans has stalled House proceedings, blocking key voting and judicial authority bills. During a heated Judiciary Committee hearing, lawmakers clashed over perceived judicial overreach. The GOP introduced two bills aimed at limiting federal judges' authority to issue nationwide injunctions, amid accusations from Democrats that Republicans are pursuing ‘fake impeachments’ against judges. Speaker Mike Johnson criticized dissent within the party, while divisions deepen over legislative priorities related to protecting new parents' voting rights and controlling judicial reach. The ongoing controversy underscores a broader struggle within the GOP while external protests amplify intra-party tensions.
