The judges sounds like they are all commies. Is there a way to get rid of the judges?

No it's not easy to get rid of judges. I outlined it yesterday.

It is impossible to do that in Argentina with the way it is set up.Milei couldn't survive it and Argentina is structured so it's almost impossible. Bukele was able to fire the Salvadoran Supreme Court and the Attorney General on a single day in 2021 because his party, Nuevas Ideas, won an outright two-thirds supermajority in their legislative assembly.

He had the votes to do it entirely legally under their constitution.Milei does not have that luxury. Even after the October 2025 midterms, La Libertad Avanza (LLA) is nowhere near a two-thirds majority in either the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate. To pass even basic economic reforms, his bloc has to constantly negotiate with the PRO, the UCR, and moderate Peronists. He simply doesn't have the legislative firepower to unilaterally remove judges en masse.

In Argentina, the President cannot fire a Supreme Court justice. The only way to remove them is through a grueling impeachment process (juicio político).The Chamber of Deputies must act as the prosecutor and approve the accusation with a 2/3 majority.The Senate must then conduct the trial and vote to convict, also requiring a 2/3 majority.

Because the Peronist opposition still holds massive weight in both chambers, getting a 2/3 consensus to remove established judges is mathematically unfeasible for the current administration.

For lower federal judges, the process is just as locked down. They are protected by the Consejo de la Magistratura(Council of Magistrates). This is a highly bureaucratic, multi-party body made up of politicians, judges, lawyers, and academics. Removing a corrupt or purely partisan lower judge requires navigating a labyrinth of committees and securing supermajorities within the Council to send them to a jury of prosecution. It is a system built for gridlock, not purges.

El Salvador is a tiny, unitary state roughly the size of Tucumán. When Bukele controls the national assembly, he controls the entire country.Argentina is a massive federal republic. The 23 provinces (plus the City of Buenos Aires) have their own constitutions, their own powerful governors, and their own completely independent provincial supreme courts. Milei has absolutely zero direct jurisdiction to fire a provincial judge in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, or Córdoba.
