A second federal judge is facing a long-shot bid by a Republican lawmaker to have him impeached as conservative members of the U.S. House of Representatives ramp up public criticism of judges who rule against U.S. President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Republican U.S. Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee on Monday said he filed a resolution seeking to have U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C., removed from office after he ordered the Trump administration to restore government health websites that were taken offline in response to an executive order requiring the removal of “gender ideology extremism.”

Ogles’ impeachment measure argued that Bates failed to consider that the webpages at issue maintained information about gender-affirming care and that the “continued socialization of this grave moral evil necessitates immediate action against those who would promote it.”

      But their districts are filled with chucklefucks. They voted for this, specifically. Any primary challenge would put in someone worse.
