Rogue Judge Finally Gets an Act Named After Him - What It Does Is Hilarious

“Rogue judges” have been a major impediment to President Donald Trump’s agenda throughout his second term.

These activist judges have injected themselves into matters of public policy time and time again, flaunting the separation of powers and, in some cases, the rule of law.

One of the ringleaders of this three-ring circus in the judiciary branch has been Judge Jeb Boasberg.

Those familiar with the secretive FISA court know the role he had in the “Russia hoax,” and particularly, his secretive court’s reauthorization of two illegal surveillance warrants against former Trump staffer Carter Page.

Boasberg was the tip of the spear in a number of January 6 cases. More recently, he has mysteriously reappeared over and over again in high-profile immigration cases, such as the legal imbroglio over deporting Venezuelan illegal aliens.

Now, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt has a new act named after this judicial menace (and sadly, no, it is not called the “Judge Bozo Act.")

Schmitt is calling it the BOASBERG Act. It stands for the Blocking Overt Attempts at Shopping By Enforcing Randomization Guidelines Act.

"Judge Boasberg is the poster child for a rogue judge and exposed serious loopholes in our judicial system," Schmitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Randomly assigning cases among judges ensures the American people can have confidence in the impartiality of our courts."

Schmitt’s bill would provide stronger measures against rogue judges who abuse the federal case selection process and give courts 120 days after enactment to implement them.

The law would institute a system of truly random case assignment, stop chief judges from tampering with case selection, mandate that courts reveal their assignment process, implement penalties for manipulating case selection, and order the random reassignment of a case if the Supreme Court intervenes.

As Senator Schmitt put it on X: “One year ago, the DOJ filed its judicial misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg. Today, I'm filing the BOASBERG Act to permanently block rogue judges from hijacking cases. Impeach Judge Boasberg. Pass the BOASBERG Act.”

He added that his bill does three main things:

1. Randomize case assignments for federal district and appeals courts. 

2. Implement transparency measures to verify randomized assignments are actually being followed. 

3. Reassign a case away from a judge if SCOTUS overrules him in that case.

“This bill would put an end to rogue behavior like Judge Boasberg self-assigning cases to himself,” he continued.

“The Alien Enemies Act case was filed on March 15, 2025,” he noted. “Judge Boasberg was not the emergency on-call judge. Yet *somehow* the case was steered to him.”

Congress throughout Trump’s second term has allowed rogue judges to have free rein to wreak havoc. The passage of this act would represent a modest step in the right direction, short of defunding biased district courts (such as the D.C. District Court) and impeaching judges incapable of presiding in good behavior, like Jeb Boasberg.
