GOP & Trump (when elected) should reorganize the courts. Eliminate DC court.

And how would that work exactly? The federal court system, of which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is a part, is a creature of Congress, per Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

"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."

As for the D.C. Circuit, it is established pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sec. 41.

So, yeah, the D.C. Circuit could be done away with, but Congress would have to do it. Trump himself could not Harry Potter it away as if by magic.

I mean, I know that it is utterly fashionable around here nowadays not to have any actual knowledge about the subject on which one is running one's mouth, but, I mean, please.

This place just gets dumber and dumber.

What part of “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.”

Do you not understand?

They can put the other courts anywhere they want. SCOTUS is the only one in DC. Really it’s quite simple.
