Considering that Trump has floated the idea of terminating the entire constitution, I don’t think that the Mr. Pip-Speaker is going out on a limb by suggesting the elimination of just one inconvenient branch of the government.
Mike Johnson is among the most dangerous people in this administration. He tries to present himself as reasonable, but he is actually radical in his willingness to undermine democracy. ELIMINATE FEDERAL COURTS??? It doesn’t get much more radical and fascist than that.
Are there any GOP reps with the courage to speak out and oppose the illegal takeover of our government by dogie, aided and abetted by the fascist speaker of the House?
Don't any of them have children and grandchildren?
Do they want them to be controlled by the kakistocracy/idiocracy/oligarchy?
FUCK!
I think one reason it isn’t is that it seems so impractical (though we know that never stops this admin) But you can’t fire the judges, so what does it really mean? Consolidating the courts geographically? To what end?
This was first floated by Florida Governor Ron Desantis. Republicans are stealing ideas from each other, fighting to be the most extreme & appeal to Trump's base. It's indicative of a bigger problem: The 2024 election has made Republicans think reckless behavior is a winning strategy for the future.
The fraudsters are inside the W.H. and every GOP member of Congress.
As long as it's their team 'winning' they will burn it all down and apparently DGAF about the future of this country or even their own families.
They are all cowards, traitors and clueless.
These people talked about upholding the Constitution and now they just ignore it. This is a Constitutional crisis. Right now - we don’t have to wait until they ignore SCOTUS.
I’m super curious to see what will happen to this whole lot when Trump inevitably kicks the proverbial bucket. Do his followers have any real love of Johnson or Musk or any of these people? Will be fascinating, in a morbid way.
Is the CIA ever going to step in and sort things out? Or are they in on it?
What abt the SS? They only meant to protect a dictator or constitution? What/whom do they take an oath to? They hear MOST trumps treasonous convos, why are they like robots just taking orders to protect or die for a TRAITOR
Watching from the UK and I really keep hoping that people are fighting the things that are happening. Nice country if you can keep it seems increasingly appropriate.
It should, but not enough ppl are listening. It's the marginalized vs the not, the informed vs the ppl "protecting their mental health"; this is exactly how this shit happens, until it impacts them.
This should be a MUCH bigger story..treason against our country & rule of law. Our founders were smart beyond measure..however they weren't smart enough to know how to combat today's Republican party. It's up to us now..the American people..to cut this cancer from our body politic. MAGA be damned..
As a good, "Christian" nationalist, Moses Mike's respect for the Constitution and the Rule of Law is about equal to his respect for the teachings of his Savior.
& if he did, he would call him an enemy alien who endangered our country with his socialist preaching & have him disappeared on one of their secret deportations to hell flights.
Go ahead there will be no one to adjudicate federal crimes then, so guess what happens after that… J6 but with people with more than 1 shared brain cell

Oh, wait, Johnson and Thune can bury it in a reconciliation bill to avoid inevitable filibuster. 😱
The structure of the judiciary isn't a budget issue. Its funding is classified as discretionary spending, and thus is ineligible for reconciliation.

So what’s next? Goodbye to Numbers, probably. These clowns hate science and all its numbers.
This requires 60 votes. Would you stand up for our judiciary?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Keep your conference strong, and focused on this!
@andrewjweinstein.com
Keep this front and center! We need the courts!
Johnson, Cotton, Brooks, Biggs, Boebert, MTG, Gohmert, Jordan et al are all Christian nationalists actively working to create a Christian state.
So getting rid of constitutional courts for ones that rule on biblical laws is the plan.
MAGA wants to rule the law.
Anything is Possible
The Opposite of Rule of Law
The Opposite of Founders Intent
2nd in line for the presidency, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, this ain’t great.
If they are now trying to rid federal court judges, the Supreme Court will be next.
"I am the law" DJT
It's like a huge metal roller doing a slow-mo over buildings
Playing Whac-a-Mole on MAGA Repubs isn't going to work either
Individual Blue states will need to protect themselves and people
Can't even trust the law firms

The courts are needed more than ever before!!😡😥
we have a fire hose of harms & illegality by the Trump regime daily...
