Trump’s Judicial Strategy Faces GOP Resistance as Resolution Sparks Debate on Court Independence and Spending Cuts

In recent U.S. political developments, President Trump has been influenced by figures like Elon Musk and Stephen Miller to consider measures against judges who rule unfavorably on his executive actions, raising concerns about judicial independence. Trump is seeking support from Republican lawmakers for a 70-page resolution outlining his priorities in border security and defense, but faces opposition from some House Republicans over spending cuts. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Representative Jim Jordan are involved in discussions about the judiciary, with Johnson considering eliminating certain federal courts and Jordan advocating for defunding parts of the judicial branch, highlighting internal Republican debates as the House prepares to vote on the resolution.
