A win! A federal judge has halted a Trump administration plan that relied on confidential tax records to target migrants for deportation. In a ruling issued today, the judge said the IRS improperly shared the tax information of several migrants earlier this year.

Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal

This decision will force Chief Justice John Roberts and the other Republican-appointed justices to pick between enforcing the gerrymandering rules they created and their evident loyalty to the GOP.

The Texas gerrymandering case is a test of the Supreme Court's integrity
Do the justices have any rules they won't let Republicans break?

Impeachment is removal from office for violating the public trust. It has nothing to do with any other matter. Causing internal party political conflict isn't impeachable.
