In short, congress could constitutionally reduce the entire federal court system to John Roberts sitting at a card table with a candle.

In my constitutional daydream, a conservative congress and president disband the appellate courts, send the judges home and start over.

And somewhere along the line, these patriots ask the states to correct a hugh and series mistake, the 17th Amendment.

Yup. Just reread Article III, and Congress can do exactly that.

Interesting that judges are to remain in office as long as they show “good behavior.” This seems to be a lower standard for removal than the “high crimes and misdemeanours” for “civl officers” of the US.

Is a federal judge a “civil officer?”
