    ...of Government.

    I encourage you to read it all but, I'd like to point out this passage:

    So this battle over Trump’s “Muslim ban” offers us a handy occasion to school the federal judiciary in the cons ution, and to remind it that it’s skating on very thin ice indeed if it continues down its partisan path. Because, far from being a “co-equal” branch of government, almost the entirety of the federal court system is a creature of Congress, and can be restructured or abolished at any time. Don’t believe me? Take a look at Article III.

    "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.
    Congress giveth and Congress can taketh away. With a majority Republican Congress, these U. S. District Judges are going to keep ing around and get themselves de-ordained and de-established.

    Congress can expand or limit the courts, this is uncontroversial until someone tries to do it.

    Until about 100 years ago, Congress set the docket for the Supreme Court.

    In principle, something like that could happen again

    You're a moron.

    I always regret peeking at Chump's posts but, here goes...

    No, ChumpDumper I'm not advocating they eliminate all District Courts. I'm saying Congress has the authority to design the lower courts. They could simply pass a law that restricts the courts from ruling on Presidential actions. That's all it would take.
