Speaker Johndon warns courts: we can eliminate you

[Lisa]

"Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday drew attention to Congress’s power over the federal judiciary as Republicans plot how to legislatively channel their outrage over district judges who have blocked Trump administration actions.

“We do have authority over the federal courts,” Johnson said in a press conference Tuesday. “We can eliminate an entire district court. We do have power over funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

Johnson clarified that he was not calling to eliminate courts, but rather meant to illustrate Congress’s broad scope of authority, Punchbowl News reported."

Gangsters.

Not without a constitutional amendment the federal courts cannot be eliminated, because of Article 3 of the US Constitution.

Not without a constitutional amendment the federal courts cannot be eliminated, because of Article 3 of the US Constitution.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.

Reflects Trump's belief his administration is entitled to immediate gratification. Though he pays a begrudged obeisance to the judiciary he looks upon the appeals process as an unnecessary delay. Never mind that if party judicial nominations mattered, he would likely stand an even chance of winning. At least a quick look at serving appellant judges their nomination and confirmation was about equally split between Republicans and Democrats. The system is slow and tedious, but it does tend to work to reach the correct decisions.

Johnson is like Putzin: Waving a pencil eraser-sized dick around and acting like it's as long as a flag pole while adding in tough talk.

President Jefferson did it. Cite the ruliing or law that prevents President Trump from exercising the same power.

They can, but it would be incredibly stupid to actually do it.

Congress could wipe out the 91 Article III District Courts and the 13 Article III Courts of Appeal, leaving State courts with sole Federal question jurisdiction and creating a massive cluster**** on determining venue for diversity of jurisdiction cases. State courts would also be saddled with jurisdiction of Federal criminal cases. State courts would also be saddled with the other myriad cases that normally inhabit Federal courts, including Intellectual Property cases.

Afterward, all cases would come to the United States Supreme Court via State Supreme Courts. Since State courts run the gamut in ideology, the Supreme Court would drive itself to insanity upholding or reversing State Supreme Courts.

Congress is free to do it.

But it would be the stupidest mistake in the history of stupid mistakes.

Nonsense. Thanks to the Biden Administration tens of millions of unvetted migrants have made an incursion into the USA. Regardless of whatever weird rational the Democrats want to use to let them remain, there are serious issues caused by many if not most of them. Among them are hundreds of thousands of violent criminals who engage in all sorts of criminality, including child and adult prostitution, harmful drug production and sales, rape, assault, battery, robbery, grand theft auto, arson, and murder as well as social terrorism to make civilians fear to report them.

We can't get our INS court system to effectively work to process them, many also simply refuse to return to court for fear of deportation.

IMO the only reason Democrats support this mass effort to stymie the proper processes is the same reason they supported it occurring under Biden. The Democrats are losing ground with American voters. They've gone too far left of center and know this is a problem for them. So, solution is to IMPORT a mass of grateful new dependents, and then continue to buy their future votes. Nothing different from what they've been trying to do to actual Americans, which hasn't been working out too well lately.

The migrants were not invited. Much as was the case under Trump (I saw this first hand on the border in 2018), migrants who expressed a fear of returning home due to persecution were allowed into the US to apply for asylum, while others were rejected. This due to US law and three US-ratified treaties. And stats on crimes by immigrants, legal or not, show that they commit crimes a lower rates than citizens. And oh yeah, the democrats support the law and treaties in question because that brings them voters. So a migrant applies for asylum, is granted it, and then becomes a lawful permanent resident. Then they go through a years long process to become a citizen, during which time they may work or open a business. And all this is a plot by the democrats to get more voters. This of course is not new. JFK and LBJ let all sorts of Cubans into the US in the 1960s for the same reason, convinced that they would be solid republican voters, just like today, when Venezuelans fleeing a leftist government will surely vote for… Wait! Seems JFK, LBJ, and later Carter miscalculated. Oops!

Congress can selectively dissolve only the corrupt, partisan lower courts opening the way to reform.
