Gaslighting is defined as the manipulation of someone into questioning their own perception of reality.
Top Republicans are likely to put at least one bill, California Rep. Darrell Issa’s “No Rogue Rulings Act,” on the floor in early April, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss scheduling plans. The legislation would crack down on the ability of lower-court judges to issue far-reaching injunctions.
House Republicans have filed impeachment resolutions targeting four district judges, including one this week targeting the jurist who sought to block Trump’s effort to deport alleged gang members to El Salvador. Trump publicly backed the impeachment push, and Musk quickly fanned the flames on X, his social-media platform, calling the deportations ruling part of a “judicial coup.”
But there is widespread recognition inside the House GOP that impeachments — besides being costly in time and political capital — do not have the votes to succeed given Republicans’ narrow majority. That has prompted GOP hard-liners to back-channel with Trump allies on alternatives they could push across the House floor.
“Activist judges, particularly in D.C., think that they are the Trump resistance — the Trump political resistance,” said Mike Davis, a close Trump ally who runs an outside judicial advocacy group. “What they are doing is lawless and dangerous, and it must be stopped.”
I've pointed out a number of times how effective the Right has been in creating specious, counter factual narratives to address political vulnerabilities. Karl Rove was expert at it. Bush had a weakness relative to John Kerry over their respective service in the military. Kerry went to war in Vietnam, George stayed home and pretended to be a pilot in the ANG. So Kerry got swift boated, problem solved. trump's epic corruption and law breaking leading up to the 2024 election needed obfuscation. So the Right fabricated a fiction that he was the victim of persecution.
Darrel Issa, in Orwellian fashion, has introduced a bill named the "No Rogue Rulings Act" to deal with judges making rulings on rogue EO's and directives coming from the regime. How very diabolically clever. Some trump ally said of judges, “What they are doing is lawless and dangerous, and it must be stopped.” I can hardly think of a better way to describe what trump and Co have been attempting. Joe Biden was accused of weaponizing the DoJ because it tried to respond to trump's lawlessness. A preemptive strike to provide cover for trump turning Pam Bondi in to his personal attack dog and protector.

Every utterance coming from the regime requires independent, critical thought. Because the construct it's trying to create doesn't match objective reality. Is a policy induced slowdown in the economy and the resultant decline in the stock market a "healthy correction?" In trumpworld it is. Are rulings blocking the regime's unconstitutional actions coming from "activist judges?" Or is it necessary to discredit the rulings in order to manipulate the public's perception of what is happening.

It’s not just impeachments. Republicans are eyeing other ways to rein in federal judges.
House Republicans don’t have the votes to impeach any federal judges. But a growing number of hard-liners is discussing several other legislative options as GOP leaders search for a release valve for the MAGA fury building over recent court rulings checking President Donald Trump.Top Republicans are likely to put at least one bill, California Rep.
