Congress can make some changes that are far, far from eliminating the court system.

Johnson is being a dumb bunny.

Johnson is floating the idea of eliminating federal courts that disagree with the Trump Admin. Seems extremely difficult and subject to filibuster. Alternatively: Congress could create a new circuit specifically with jurisdiction to hear government cases, or the Trump Admin could just, you know, obey the law.

Speaker Mike Johnson floats eliminating federal courts as GOP ramps up attacks on judges

Republican lawmakers are setting their sights on the judiciary following court rulings that have halted Trump's agenda.

WASHINGTON — Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts.

It’s the latest attack from Republicans on the federal judiciary, as courts have blocked a series of actions taken by the Trump administration. In addition to funding threats, Trump and his conservative allies have called for the impeachment of certain federal judges who have ruled against him, most notably U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who attempted to halt Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.


“We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

Johnson, a former constitutional attorney, later clarified that he was making a point about Congress’ “broad authority” over the “creation, maintenance and the governance” of the courts. Article III of the Constitution established the Supreme Court but gave Congress the power to “ordain and establish” lower federal courts.

Congress has eliminated courts in the past. In 1913, for example, Congress abolished the Commerce Court and its judges were redistributed to the federal appeals court, according to Congress.gov. And in 1982, Congress passed legislation abolishing the Article III Court of Claims and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and established the Article I Court of Federal Claims and the Article III U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who plans to hold a hearing focused on Boasberg and district judges next week, said he’s speaking with GOP appropriators about what he called “legislative remedies.”

That the fascist right supports this comes as no surprise.

Johnson is being a dumb bunny.

Changes shouldn't be made because Republicans are angry at judges ruling against Trump.

 

[Mac-7]

Tough to be you.

You wish you could be

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You wish you could be

Oh, you rattled your brain when you got hit.

 

[Leo123]

Untrue since we are broke and are cutting waste.

Trump isn’t Biden. Things are changing. Buck up son, change is here and you Marxies are no longer relevant.

 

[Leo123]

Trump doesn't support traditional values and you love him.

Yes he does. You support Marxist Democrats who wish to tear down traditional America.

 

[fncceo]

More cancel culture from the MAGATs.

Don’t think of it as cancel culture. Think of it as euthanasia.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yes he does. You support Marxist Democrats who wish to tear down traditional America.

No, he does not. You are not unintelligent; don't sound like it.

 

[Moonglow]

Yes he does. You support Marxist Democrats who wish to tear down traditional America.

Since when is it traditional for a felon to be president?

False accusation, fixed court, biased judge. Joe did the same thing and got off because he's basically brain dead according to an idiot judge. Our legal system is infected with Marxist/Democrat, parasite judges. The Congress has the power to eliminate their courts and I hope they do.
