Senate Hearing on Judicial Impeachment Faces Another Delay, Now Expected January 2026

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights had scheduled a hearing titled “Impeachment: Holding Rogue Judges Accountable” for December 3, 2025. However, this session was postponed, and according to Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who chairs the subcommittee, the hearing is now likely to be rescheduled for January 2026.

As of now, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s official schedule does not list a new date for the rescheduled hearing. ([judiciary.senate.gov](https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/committee-activity/hearings/upcoming-hearings?utm_source=openai))

Senator Cruz has not provided specific reasons for the postponements. The rescheduling to January 2026 suggests that the subcommittee is taking additional time to prepare for the hearing.
