Time To Reign In the Judiciary Branch

ARTICLE III Section 1 of the Constitution states: "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. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."

It is pretty clear that the Constitution creates and empowers the Supreme Court, empowers the Congress to create ALL other courts, and allows the Congress to limit the powers of the inferior courts.

Based on the outrageous TRO’s that many district judges have placed against President Trump’s Executive Otders, it has become apparent that federal judges are usurping Constitutional powers deemed to belong to the Executive branch. It is time to reign that power. It is the purview of the Congress to ordain what the district Court Judges are allowed to do.

Logically, it is not up to a district court to dictate a nationwide policy. That is up to the Congress and the President.

It was reported today in several media outlets, that both former Speaker Newt Gingrich and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan believe action and/or legislation is warranted now to curb the power and scope of Federal District Judges.

Speaker Gingrich posted on X, “If Chief Justice Roberts wants to minimize attacks on out of control appointed leftwing district court judges abusing their role and claiming to be able to overrule the elected President of the United States on management details that are clearly within his role as defined by the Constitution and the Federalist Papers then he should intervene and overrule these absurd power grabs. The Chief Justice can defend the Court by overruling bad judges before the Executive and Legislative Branches start acting against them. The burden is on the Chief Justice not the President.”

The Hill reported that House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is planning hearings on judges who block Trump administration actions and eyeing legislation to place limits on judicial power as calls to impeach those judges ramp up.

Those actions, Jordan suggested in a CNN interview on Wednesday, could be “another legislative remedy” to address the matter.

“It’s why two weeks ago, the Judiciary Committee, we passed legislation which said when a federal district judge in Timbuktu, Calif., issues an injunction, it should only apply to the parties of the case in that respective jurisdiction not apply nationwide,” Jordan said. “We passed it through the committee. We’ll try to look to pass it on the House floor and move it through the process.”

Perhaps, finally, we will be able to achieve the separation of powers which is clearly defined in the Constitution and had been lost, become re-established.

The vision the Founders established for our Constitution is in the genius of its checks and balances. And it is time to check the power of the judicial branch.

We must NEVER allow one branch to have more authority than another or we lose our freedoms and independence.
