I've already addressed this ridiculous straw-man argument. Congress determines the number of Article 3 judges - the president doesn't have to appoint them, but will know if he/she doesn't, the next president gets to.
It's the plan of the fifteen second sound-bite and not a rational idea for shrinking government.
Okay then. You tell me what YOU would do as president, on your own and within the constraints of the law and the Constitution, to decrease the size and scope of the federal government.
Yeah, and I noticed that you ignored the rest of my questions on what happens to air traffic control, the Secret Service, federal prosecutions, national security agencies like the CIA and the NSA, the Border Patrol, and the Department of Defense, the Department of Veteran's Affairs, and other vital government functions if you allow all those to see ten or fifteen or twenty percent of their people retire and go unreplaced? What is your answer for that? Or do you agree with Fiorina that that would be a good thing to have happen?
