Not that I disagree with newt’s plan of subordinating the judicial branch. But this will lead to a political war between the republican and democrat factions over control of the same courts, just as Ron Paul suggested it will.
I beleive it or not I support such a political war because its inevitable result will be to devalue and largely defang the Federal Cort system. By extension as a product of mandated trial for enforcement of Domestic federal laws, the defanged federal court will result in a competitively defanged Federal Goverment.
The Logic behind this is quite simple:
1: There is no way either party can replace all the Federal judges now in existence in the time they hold office. So there must either be fewer of them judges(Thus slower enforcement of federal edicts) or judicial peace(as exist now).
2: A smaller federal judiciary will be able to take on fewer cases thereby leaving a larger share of the judicial load to the States from which there will be no timely appeal.
In short our States will have their way until the Feds can get around to imposing their will, which might well be long enough for the State sentence anyway.
So by all means Bring on the war, and the days where the Federal Goverment is largely replaced.
Ron Paul is a nut case.
