Mike Johnson issues chilling new threat to anti-Trump judges nationwide

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has delivered a pointed warning to judges nationwide as local courts have slowed the rollout of Donald Trump's political agenda.

'We do have authority over the federal courts,' Johnson shared at a press conference Tuesday. 'We can eliminate an entire district court,' he noted.   

'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.'

His statement appeared to be a veiled reminder, if not threat, that Congress has their eyes on district judges that have issued injunctions and rulings against Trump's policies.

Though the Supreme Court is the highest judicial body in the country, district courts, which have been issuing nationwide rulings foiling White House executive decisions, are overseen by Congress.

The White House has been frustrated with injunctions impeding Trump's immigration, DOGE and other top priorities, prompting the 78-year-old to call for judges standing in his way to get removed.

What is with the IDLE THREATS.  Cut their stinking numbers in half, with the promise of halving them again if they have nothing to do than bring forth frivolous cases that will not stand.

FIRE THEM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would take an act of Congress which would take getting rid of the filibuster.

Idiots.

Just the Legislative Branch exercising its Check and Balances over the Judiciary Branch.

The Administration should challenge and appeal each judicial decree on jurisdication and standing before going nuclear.  Give the Courts a chance to their housekeeping before the Legislative Branch does it for them.

Reminds me of the first term with all the obvious and blatant felony crimes Hillary and her staff committed. Every week, there was a new declaration of "we are going to do this-or-that next week. And nothing ever happened.

Democrats have been well trained to ignore anything that is going to happen "next week". Until Democrats see 'real and tangible' actual consequences NOW, right now at this moment, they will just laugh at anything the Republicans say 'they will do soon'. If the Republicans are not causing consequences today, now in real time, future threats are meaningless.

Every threat which is prefaced with 'coming soon' is a joke. We all know these future threats are just bluster and nothing more. If you are going to do something THEN JUST DO IT! SHOW ME! Talk is just dust in the wind. DO SOMETHING!

Congress DOING SOMETHING?  You should become a stand up comedian.  If ever there was a do nothing bunch, it is Congress. 

The need for TERM LIMITS has never been greater.

That's just it.  What the heck is Congress doing????  Playing tiddly winks once again?   They have every opportunity to start passing some legislation to ensure Trump's agenda sticks, yet they've done absolutely nothing!

Waiting till the next session of Congress???  Do they think that the GOP majority is going to grow?  I'm disgusted.
