Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted that Congress has the authority to eliminate entire district courts, control funding, and oversee the judiciary.
He described such actions as necessary in “desperate times” due to judges blocking Trump’s policies through nationwide injunctions.
Johnson announced plans for a House Judiciary Committee hearing to address “abuses” and advanced legislation to limit judges’ power to issue such injunctions.
He later clarified his remarks were not a threat but emphasized congressional control.
So I guess all the measures people directly voted for, like enshrining abortion into state laws, shouldn’t be obstructed for one more second because it’s the will of the voters. They don’t really care about this factor, only when it’s self serving.
