There’s more than one way to remove judicial tyrants.
Consecutive slow motion constitutional crises, of increasing frequency and magnitude, have occurred since Nixon was ousted. The latest was initiated by SDNY federal Judge Paul Engelmayer’s 1:00 am, Saturday, February 8 ex parte temporary restraining order, expiring after a week, prohibiting Treasury Secretary Bessent from performing his constitutional responsibilities and banning DOGE auditors. 19 judge-shopping state attorneys general petitioned Engelmayer (scheduled for nighttime emergency duty) for the “emergency” order. Engelmayer ruled on an emailed filing submitted at 9:30 pm, Friday February 7, the eve of holy Super Bowl weekend. Is nothing sacred to heathen Leftists? They probably guzzled Bud Lights and binge-watched PBS to celebrate, playing Taylor Swift in the background.
Nobody accused Engelmayer of producing a coherent, unambiguous, constitutional order; or the states of possessing standing to interfere with Article 2 executive branch normal functions. Senator Cotton’s February 8, 4:12 pm X post summarized the crisis du jour:
Tom Cotton
@SenTomCotton Outrageous. Obama Judge Paul Engelmayer didn’t just bar @elonmusk and @doge from Treasury systems, he barred the Secretary of the Treasury himself. Without citing a single law or even allowing Trump admin to appear in court! This outlaw should be reversed immediately and Engelmayer should be forbidden by higher courts from ever hearing another case against the Trump admin.
It was a judicial insurrection. Engelmayer stipulated several filing deadlines, extending to the following Friday, once Judge Jeannette Vargas received the case on Monday. The administration’s response objecting to Engelmayer’s order was filed on Sunday, February 9. Recognizing the gravity of the crisis Engelmayer single-handedly created, on Monday morning February 10 Judge Vargas tossed Engelmayer’s deadlines and imposed expedited ones. She ordered the parties to meet, the plaintiffs to respond to Trump’s filed objection by 5:00 pm that day

These judges need to know that if they get overturned there will be harsh penalties waiting.
Congress can dissolve courts en banc with a simple majority vote in both chambers. They can also create courts. I say start with the dc circuit and pack it with conservatives. This time Congress needs to say you’re fired
High Crime... Criminal Conspiracy. The judge is personally abusing power to aid and abet a criminal conspiracy.
“These judges need to know that if they get overturned there will be harsh penalties waiting.”
They are above the law. They are afforded more personal legal powers than the Executive and Legislative branches. I also wish we could apply something like Hammurabi’s code #5. Wouldn’t that be a hoot...
5. If a judge try a case, reach a decision, and present his judgment in writing; if later error shall appear in his decision, and it be through his own fault, then he shall pay twelve times the fine set by him in the case, and he shall be publicly removed from the judge’s bench, and never again shall he sit there to render judgement.

This is a nice find. The Federalist has the occasional incomprehensible leap like this on the part of Hamilton. Another is how he defends the way the Treaty Power is set up in Article II, Section 2, clause2 discussed here. Jefferson and Patrick Henry had a cow about these, but Hamilton won the day. Why?
I think these were demands upon the part of our creditors at the time amd Hamilton was the money guy. The United States was broke after the Revolutionary War and needed money for a navy. Boats don't come cheap. I suspect that because the creditors had demands provisions this crucial were rarely discussed at length during the Federal Convention debates. It is a bitch to read a document for what is NOT there, but this murky business about judges may be such a case. The good news there is that now that it has been rendered electronic such searches can be made relatively quickly. The evidence of absence would make an interesting legal argument. After all, corrupt judges had ruined Israel and the vast preponderance of the Founders knew that well.

correct....there is overcoming that Senate filibuster, but, this is the best plan...
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: we don’t have a gun problem; we have a behavior problem.
I am sure you know this but the fillerbuster is not mentioned in the Constitution. In a constitutional power struggle i think should stick to what the document says. I’m sure the Senate will seek me out and listen to my advice
Interesting.
