Rep. Eli Crane, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Arizona's 2nd district since 2023, recently expressed his views on social media regarding activist judges and their influence on political matters. His comments were made in a series of tweets posted on February 19 and 20, 2025.

In a tweet dated February 19, Rep. Crane criticized activist judges by stating, "If these activist judges want to be politicians, they should resign and run for office." This statement suggests that he believes judges should not engage in activities that resemble political maneuvering.

Later the same day, Rep. Crane reiterated his stance by posting another tweet saying, "Activist judges cannot stop the president from executing his Article II powers." He further expressed pride in collaborating with fellow representatives like @Rep_Clyde to hold such individuals accountable for what he perceives as an abuse of their positions. He also extended gratitude to @CarlHigbie for providing him with a platform to discuss these issues.

On February 20, Rep. Crane succinctly commented on an unspecified matter with the phrase "This is insane." The context or subject of this remark was not elaborated upon in the tweet.
