The fuckery will be televised.

Today at 2:30 pm ET the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights will livestream a hearing titled "Impeachment: Holding Rogue Judges Accountable" which is alternatively titled "The fuckery will be televised" (unlike the revolution, according to KRS-ONE and Gil Scott-Heron).


A group of Republicans, led by Ted Cruz, have their knickers in a knot because the Trump administration doesn't like some recent outcomes in federal district court.  Their response: impeach the judges.  This is exceedingly abnormal--for over 200 years, normal people appeal an adverse ruling to a higher court.  Don't take my word for it, here's what Chief Justice John Roberts said:


The Republican members of this subcommittee are a veritable who's who of dooshnozzlery:

Ted Cruz, Chair (TX)
Eric Schmitt (MO)

I assume they will put on a hell of a show.  Make sure to take your losartan before you tune in.
